New tires and engine bay shots :)

I've had a few people ask for some engine bay shots of the car so here they are. I finally got the new tires on, had the wheels powdercoated, and finished up the engine bay along with a new intake and MAF setup. I've still got a few small things I wanna get done but it's nice to have the car back in summer mode finally

The tires - Nitto Neo Gen 225/40/ZR18's



Ass shot - a bit wider than stockers



A few engine shots :twisted:

The Mobil 1 sticker sticks out like a sore thumb. Nice looking otherwise...

Thanks guys, the lugnuts are just anodized red lugnuts. I bought them from ebay for about 35 bucks

The valve cover stickers are just vynals... however I have a sticker vendor I go through for all my club promotional stuff. He claimed these were the best quality vynal he could get... same stuff they use for car wraps and stuff. They have been on the car since last fall and havent showed any signs of peeling or bubbling. The valve cover itself is powdercoated and the Mobil 1 I was just kinda going for that GM performance/racing look

The car is about the furthest thing from rice as you can get... The red lugs I felt I needed... the chrome ones' didn't look right and black ones just blended in way too much. Everyone's welcome to their opinion of course but my thoughts were it was a tasteful way to accent the car.

Thanks to everyone else for the comments, much appreciated!

Haha it's all good man... I've been in this game far too long to take anything offensively. What's great about this hobby is how diverse it is. I may like things others may hate, and vice versa... that's perfectly fine with me. Who wants every car modded the same exact way anyways?
