rims and tires will really help--other then that looks great. THat small spoler is so much better then that oversized POS on the SS ;) Is it a auto or 5 speed?

5 speed of course.

For wheels, I like these, 16" in size:

Can you show what the area that would normally have an armrest looks like? Thanks! :)

Is that just a base or is it an LS? I wish I could have mine today.

Its a base. And yep, I know 4x100mm bolt pattern, all wheels I posted are available to fit my car.

I don't have a armrest, I have a 5 speed. Wish it did though, but at least I can hold on to the gear shift :-D

What dealer did you get yours from rm25x?

I went to James-Martin in downtown Detroit, all the have are sedans right now...but lots of em. The salesman asked me if I wanted to take one on a test drive, but I told him I'd wait for the SS's.

Al Serra in Grand Blanc is the ONLY dealership I will deal with. They are the biggest for a reason. It was the only 5 speed coupe they had at the time, I told them thats the only thing I care about.

Check out www.alserra.com and you can see what ones they have in stock at the time.

I am just going to go 16" so I can still have some tire sidewall for all these great Michigan roads. :rolleyes:

Probably add some lowering springs too if the look isn't just quite right. I don't want to do too much since its a lease though, but anything that makes it look better and more fun to drive is good to me. Hey.... autocross season starts soon...... hmmmmmm....... :D

I don't have a armrest, I have a 5 speed. Wish it did though, but at least I can hold on to the gear shift :-D

Actually on my ION3, the armrest came with it standard. I also have a 5 speed, and I can tel you, you don't want the armrest with a 5 speed. Whenever you go to shift into 2nd, 4th or reverse, you'd bash your elbow into the armrest if you didn't raise your elbow up a certain angle. Just yesterday I took out the armrest and replaced it with the pocket console that is available on the ION 1's. It's so much better because now I can shift the way I was meant to. Also, since I never used my armrest, I don't miss it.
