Those wheels suck...Just kidding...LOL!!! You chose the perfect color to compliment the blue. Looks sick bro. I know u were kinda doubting your choice after u saw the ford GT's, but honestly I think these look perfect on your ride. Im jealous...I want hypercoat...

Clean car, looks good!

Woulda went with a little more rubber in the back though; 295's prob would fit a little better.

Yeah, I'm beginning to think the same thing. However, I wanted a pair of cheap tires. I got the Sumitomo HTR Z IIs, and 285 was the biggest they make. I'm installing my Vortech this weekend, so I'm thinkin I'll need new tires after a few weeks, lol. I'll probably end up getting stickier, wider tires after my foot gets a little lighter.

Vortech huh? Cant wait till I can get a blower. Its not in the budget just yet though. For now Im just building up the chassis to handle the power once I get 1.

Yes, I know. The only reason its out there is because the driver side had to be out that far to get tight. I wanted them to match, so I put them both out that far. On the driver's side, either the tailpipe is too small, or the tip is too big. I tighten the tip all the way down, and its still loose. For some reason, if I pulled them out that far, they got tight. So I drove around a while with the driver's side tip a little loose. Well, I was doing donuts in an empty parking lot, and I guess the G forces were enough to make it fly right off, lol. I lost the little rod that hangs the tip, so right now, I don't have a tip on the driver's side tailpipe. (Hence I didn't post any pictures that show the rear left) Magnaflow is sending me a new one in the mail, so hopefully by this weekend, both will be tight, and in the correct place. Man, you guys notice everything!
