No, I'm not saying that, I paid less than that. IForged does some great SEMA sales in October.

Are your chrome 20's cast? If so, in most cases, yes. The only wheel I have seen close to the weight of these is the Sevas S55 which sacrifices strength for weight and that's why so many people have had problems with them.

thanks Tim... if you have profile that would be cool... what I'm looking at is the thickness of the frame and the width in the opening from top to bottom... most that I have seen looks like the 03-04 is narrower top to bottom and some of the frame are thicker than the 05-06s... yours doesn’t look as shallow as some I've seen but still I think the 05-06 have a bigger flow area (from either thinner frame or wider top to bottom mesh, or both)...

The reason I want to see profile is to get an idea of how it might look with the new bumper...

Check out the old racing stripe on hood!

Sorry, the next to last one would be the best I have for that. I think you can get a close idea from there.

This was one of the first UTR grilles made so I'm not sure what they changed (if anything) since then. I think Papa has one on his car now that he recently purchased.

thanks bro... I love Papa's car, but his grille has that narrow thing I was referring to... most that I have seen do... but the 05-06 seem to be wider Maybe its an illusion and I'm focusing on it too much?...

Oh man, thats just pure sex right there.

I would feel like such a bad *** if I was riding around in that car.

Pull up to a corvette or a viper knowing you could smash their azz in a 4 door luxury car.. That would be an awesome feeling
