'87 tails are in! Some said I was nuts, but I like the look. Got them for $40 at Maple Grove. Had to paint them black (what a bi*ch masking them). Wanted black for the 'contrast' look. Decided to put the '4-eyes' back to black also (as from the factory).

Updated pics in my Sig ↓↓↓↓↓↓ Just thought I'd share them! ;-) Cheers!

looks awesome man..... im going to have to find some of those turbine wheels, cus they look really good too.....

tcwc

Thanks man. There was a couple sets at Maple Grove. I think the guy had a sign on em for $100.00 (all 4). Can't beat $25.00 per wheel!!!

tc what size and brand tires are you running in the back? i blew out my rears doing donuts so i need new ones

tcwc

245/60 15's Yokohama AVID S/T's $64.00 ea at Tire Rack (Internet).

If I had it to do again (and I probably will someday) I go 255. The 245's have lots of clearance. Yoko even makes a 275, but I wouldn't feel right suggesting that to you since I have tried it (although I think it would fit, just not sure about fittinig with my stock turbines width).


Hope it helps!



PS I thought I would at least get a comment out of you about the 87 taillights! (I thought I remembered you saying 'keep it stock' in the past!!!! Just bustin ya. Cheers man!

HACKGT350

haha yeah that was me i wish you didnt change them but they still look good stock looks a lot better

tcwc

Hey, at least I sprayed the head lights back to stock! lol.

I just checked the spec's on the 275's. They call for a minimum of a 7.5" width wheel. I'm sure the tire itself would fit, just depends on what type of wheel you have. IF/Someday I got to aftermarket rims, I'll get some 275's. They should look sick out back!!!!

hell yeah how are those tires on hooking up and traction around turns?

tcwc

I have nothing but good things to say about them. For me, they hook up really well (rain or day). I've just went to Maple Grove this weekend and traveled 61 south (which is like a friggin solumn course south of Frackville). They never even chirped (so I'd say they handle very well). I've noticed also that it takes some extra RPM's to break them loose (which is what you want!).

Anyhow, I've very happy with them for the price!!!
