RE: New mods, K&N intake, GT take off rims. "pics"
The K&N was easy to install, but required some trimming to fit the MAF sensor in, no biggy. Everything else fit fine. I was surprised by how loud it actually is, not a bad thing, you can hear the air suck everytime you touch the pedal. As for performance, It seems to add some pep to the throttle, but I havent really got to play with it yet. I've been really sick latly. The GT tires change how the car handles more than I thought. It takes alot more to turn the wheel now in those tight turns and they dont catch like the BF goodrich that came with the 6. Anyway heres some pics of the intake.

Looks great!!
About your comment on the new tires.... I remember when I first got my Pirelli's on... thought it handled so differently... ya get used to it quickly, especially when ya start taking some quick corners! They also handle much better when it's wet.

Good job. I've got those type of rims sitting in my closet, I still can't afford to put tires on them. [sm=smiley13.gif] I'm holding out for a good deal on a C&L intake.
