By the way really nice rims! The black on grey is just awesome, I dunno if u have thought about it, but ive seen some grey with matte black stripes before and they look amazing..Just food for thought, if you are into stripes at all.
I didn't even notice it until I looked at the pics after I took them lol. I was to excited I have seriously thought of stripes but am affraid it might look cluttered? I like nice wide stripes too not the skinny ones . We will see what happens after I put a cowl hood on!

No need for a new hood, I would spend the money on debadging and some big brakes to compliment the new, open wheel design! Looks phenomenal.

Yeah I gotta reinstall my chin spoiler. But the bolts I bought to replace the push pins look to big. So I will have to work on it

The car looks great... I love those wheels. I want themmmmm

It makes me laugh whenever i see Saleen wheels with stock brakes though... no offense to anyone lol. Get some cobras on there or something!

Chin spoiler/tint and you're golden

car/wheels looks awesome, tint the windows, put the chin spoiler back on, and an upgrade in the brake department will make your car one of my favorite looking new edges on here... nice work on the car

I was always told factory brakes are more than enough, is this not the case?
I realize I have a different model year, but still....

The only way that the stockers are more then enough, is if you upgrade to SS lines, a good pad, and some drilled/slotted rotors or something along the lines of those 3 things...

In stock condition, the GT/v6 brakes are the worst brakes i have ever stepped foot on. Maybe that was an exageration, but they are pretty bad... Switching to a 13"/11.65" setup is more then enough to satisfy the spirited driver. I have a lot more fun driving around with my brakes now then i did when they were stock.

I see, do you know if this carries over to the S197's? Thanks!
