Default New car

Well my 93 5.0 just wasn't cutting it as a DD since it was kinda worn out, so I upgraded Got a 2000 GT 5 speed in Lazer Red with black cloth ( I hate leather ) and 89k on the clock. Has about 3k on a rebuild forged shortblock and mildy ported heads with all the paper work to show for it. I guess who ever had the engine build was going to boost it since they used stock comp. ratio pistons in the rebuild. One question, should I keep the 18's or drop down to a 17 inch deep dish Bullit with a black center? I want to get the centers one these powder coated since Im not a huge fan of all chrome wheels, but I'd like a second opinion. Oh and it's getting lowered real quick, 4wd stance FTL[:@]

beautiful car. sounds like you can skip the bolt ons and go straight for the good stuff since its moded already with a new engine. the wheels look ok, but if you dont like them get something else.


what lift kit is that?

whatever you do, keep the 18s, get new ones, powdercoat those, whatever, just keep with 18's, they look sooo much cleaner on new edges
