Hey another Canadian . Congrats on the purchase---hope you went with the 5 speed!

What kind of options did you get?

For mods you should also get the mirror slip-on covers. Its a GM accesory and then you can buy them to match you exterior colour.

lower it before you put the rims. like a 1.6" drop will look nice with those rims. i really like the rims. H&R will be a good idea. but shocks will be necesary.

Nice car, the rims look great on it. I presume that's 35% tint on the windows?

Check into getting at least a nice muffler tip on it too, Would dress it up a little.

total cost was $1700 CAD for rims, tires, installed, balanced, & lugs

the tires are Hankook 225/45/17

the tint is 35% front and 20% rear

anyone have any recomendations for lowering springs?
