Here's a pic with the CHP rear deck lights and the spotlights mounted -




I keep the lights covered while driving on the street.

I agree, the factory tips are just too small... you need 3 inch tips on that bad boy

Thanks guys! You are not the first ones to bust on me for the cruddy tips. Another member asked me if I ever heard of Armor-All for the tires!

I paid $3,986 for the SSP, and paint was practically the same price. In the grand scheme of things, that is NOT very much coin to spend (note I didn't say "invest") on a toy. It's a blast to drive.

Next up? working on the interior, detailing the engine, and gears. I'm thinking of going with 3.90's in the 8.8", which with the taller street tires would bring my final effective gear ratio to around 3.73:1 (close to it at least for the speedo). I can use shorter DR's at the track to take advantage of the shorter gears.
