More low and roll the fenders if you wanna keep a beefier tire! Not a fan of those rims tho...

Just a little update, these coils have been great so far, handle good on the track. Tore the crap out of my new tires, still have ~90% tread but they started throwing chunks after a few hot laps. Could be from too large of a sidewall... don't say it, I know. Plans for next year are 17x9's with a 45 series tire, once I destroy what's left of these.
Shitty cell phone pic, thought it was better. I swapped to winters already so it has to do.

grr... my biggest pet peeve when it comes to cars are when someone paints thier trunk or hood black. i feel like you want it to look like its carbon fibre but are too cheap to actually get carbon fibre parts.

That's one reason lol I do drive a base model... colour matching doesn't always work so might as well

I was a dick, sorry. Car is really coming along, what else do you plan on doing?

BTW I'm more low now and on 18'' summer wheels and 17'' winter wheels.

No problem, no hurt feelings here. Thanks though. Just scored a black suede headliner, hoping I can get an interceptor and some a pillar trim so I can install that soon. I will make a full build thread one day.
I did see your new pics, car looks good man. That's exactly how I wanted mine to look at first.

Wish it was that simple, when I bought mine the TC was new. Now I can get one for the price I paid for this, buut with the computer swap talk going on, swapping in an LNF might be easier than previously thought. Maybe some of the base model hate will die down....

I want nearly the same tire/wheel combo, but on a SS/SC

At least, I have some kind of preview of what it will looks like.

Thanks !
