Default Pics: Updated Minor Mods - New SVT Wheels, Tires, Scoops, Door Handles

Just some updated pics to reflect my most recent mods:

1. Bought a set of GT500 (SVT) Wheels off Ebay for 400 bucks. Not bad huh?

2. Wider tires on the back - 285/40/18s

3. Put on some new side scoops

4. Chrome Door Handles (covers, very minor)

With the lighting today when I took these pics you can barely see the flames. Just shows you how subtle they can be depending on the lighting conditions.

Those wheels look really good, and for $400 bucks I think you stole them. What a great deal that was!!!

Dave, those new side scoops look LIGHT YEARS better than the old ones you got from AM. Very, very nice touch. So the only question now is, when are you entering that beauty into a car show? Your ride is stylin'!!!

Thanks man. The place I got them from (on ebay) has tons of them. I didn't pay full price. I placed a bid and managed to get them for that price. Hundreds less than everywhere else.

Man, I completely agree. I didn't like the xenon side scoops. I thought they looked WAY too big. These are smaller and more subtle. On the car show..... The guy who painted my flames has been trying to get me to do car shows the last few weekends but I was busy and couldn't do it. I'd be interested to see how many people really like my car. I'm kinda biased

Thanks! No worries on the chrome. The wheels aren't really "chrome" but the door handles are and the pony emblems are.

Disco your car is the transformer of V6's, it has gone through so many changes lol! And the flames are still my fav cosmetic thing you've done to it so far. Great job.
ps. was the hood scoop a pain to install and align?
