The problem with chrome is brake dust and dog pee will kill them if left on, keep them clean and shiny they last a lifetime, given they were done right.

Beautiful. Is your suspension stock height or is it lowered slightly?

I've got Eibach Pro Kit springs on the car. The rear spring isolators are on their last leg but are still there. I'd like it to sit a little higher, maybe 1/8" to 1/4" and 1/4" off the width of the rear tires. A 305/35/17 maybe be better for me but unfortunately they don't make that in the Proxies or MT DRs

First time you're top down, warm night, two lane road that winds through the country with your favorite driving song blaring too loud you'll be hooked.

The first time I rode down the interstate in a convertible and was close enough to touch the stock and slop in the cattle trucks next to us, I said “nope!”

Driving on the interstate is a drag unless you're in a BIG truck, got someplace to go and don't have time to 'enjoy the ride'.
