Finally got some pics compiled of my Liquid Platinum G.

First is the car with 20% tint all around and I had the sway bars and exhaust done before these pics, so you'll see the tips and mufflers.

 

Today, I got the wheels on. 19" Axis Decades, 19x9.5" +40 - 275/35 rears and 19x8" +35 - 245/40 fronts. Could use maybe a tad more offset in the rear, but looks pretty good.

I got them from Charles at RX Performance Motors (cback@RXperformancemotors.com); shipping was super quick, he was absolutely super easy to work with and the cheapest price I could find on these period, and the best part was, I didn't have to beg for a cheap price, he just shot me the great price.

 

I have Tanabe springs to put on. I know I've said this before in other threads but I'm just a tad worried about clearance. I can't stress how bad some areas are where I'm at and on top of that I'm in construction and occasionally will be taking this car into construction sites and somewhat bad dirt roads. I have a big F250 that I use mostly for those conditions but I don't want to create a problem with this car if I get caught having to visit a job in it. So, I think I'm going to drive it just a bit the way it is and feel it out first before I put them on. Just for instance, tho, this morning backing out of the shop with the wheels on, the front piece rubbed just a bit backing out of the bay... now take another inch off of that. blah!

 

I'll get some better pics later. Wife took off in it minutes after getting tot he office. She has a dr's appt and is going shopping and begged to use it, so I gave in.

EDIT:

I also forgot to add that I weighed the setup.

Stock 18" Sports setup was: 53 front and rear.
New tire / wheel setup was: 54 front and 59 rear.

Most of the weight difference I'm contributing to the tires. Going from a 245 to a 275, man those suckers are nice and wide.

 

nice

 

Looks great man, keep up the good work!

 

Another picture taken this past weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway...



EDIT: added some pics showing the rear a little better and another front/side shot.

 

looks good i wanted to see underneath there. very nice....hows the woman dealing with the more noise?

 

nice and clean..

 

wife took it last Friday for the whole day, got back around 5:30. She was sending me text messages around 4pm that said things like, "I have a crush on your car" and "I'm smitten". So, I don't think she minded it that much. Of course, when asked, she'll say she wouldn't mind it a little quieter but she's living with it and it's growing on me. We went down into Dallas for the weekend in it and we both enjoy it a lot. I'll probably try to add a couple small bullet resonators at some point but I don't really mind it at this point.

 

Looking very nice

 

drop it drop it drop it! its gonna look pimp after that

 

I'm workin on it. I'm afraid of draggin in some places but I need to bite the bullet and just do it.

 

added some pics to Post #7.
