Awesome, Mad.
Those wheels look really great with the scheme of your car.

Nice.
Be sure and recheck your lug nut torque after a few hundred miles.
I painted my mufflers once.
Then about a year later I wish I had not because of the flaking paint.

Thanks everyone! Jaybe, I honestly can't compare them to my past set because it's been so long since I've had tires with legitimate tread. However, I can tell you that they hook well on the street when I'm trying to get up to speed from a stop in a hurry. Haven't tested any corners yet, but I bet they handle great. And yea, ill be going back to the shop next week to get them torqued up again.

I can tell you one thing though, I now have the perfect stance that I originally pictured this car having. Every time I walk up on my car, I take note of the stance, and I can't stop grinning haha. My girlfriend just rolls her eyes haha

car and wheels look great but what's up w these mufflers anyway?? looks weired/unprofessional. why are they so visible? can't see mine at all from the sides. something doesn't add up in my view, need to be located/routed different in the first place imo.

I think it has to do with the V6 bumper not coming down as far as the GT rear bumper.
My muffler is pretty visible too from the side and rear.

Tanner got it right, ed. Its because the v6 bumper doesn't exactly cover the mufflers to begin with. I'll take care of it with a gt/cs rear later this year.
