still have the balt, haven't really done much more to it, then rear ending someone and taking some paint off, lol.

Still got the wing. Just ordered the CCFL projectors last night as the lights/leds for one my halos, the connection tab busted of and I like the look of those ccfls.

Once again, I LIVE!!!

lol it was a great night down there man, it was a blast and i'll be there for sure tomorrow night too. he was really into the car when we were drivin back. we passed another new challenger, this one was black so it's the fifth sighting for me but for sure a second car, since the others were orange they might have been the same. besides when we passed that he wouldn't stop talkin about the car unless he was tellin me he hated me for gettin him to look at it. i'll get him goin on it haha at least you'll be able to see it still then

hope to see everyone else there tomorrow night, that'd be sweet

Yeah me too, but money right now is really thin. I might need a 2nd job. Just plugged those lights in one night and the halo wasn't working. took the light out and tried to find replacements, no luck.

So i said F IT, buying a new pair, lol!

Nitto Neogen Review

Pros:
Awesome looks. Tread is sweet, sidewalls are awesome.
Great price ($533) installed.
Strong grip on hard launches. Really hard to break loose.

Cons:
The sidewalls are just not on par with the P-zero Rosso stockers. They're good enough for me, but an autox'er will feel some flex on a hard corner. This does provide a better ride quality for my lowered car though.


I'd recommend them to anyone on a budget. You're going to be happier with these than say a budget set of Kumho's or the like. But if you can afford $270 per tire, go back to the P-zero Rosso.

Generally tires with softer sidewalls are for strait-line performance not corners.
Personally, I really have been impressed with my falken 452s. For the money they seem to be good all around summer tire.
