I would never Put an S on my car. Now if I could, I would have gotten a SPORTS Model, so I am not knocking your car or the car in general, BUT, when I want to have a sport car, I will just go and walk into my kitchen, slowly open the drawer, grab a single Chevy Key and Fob, walk to my garage, take of the cover (Yes I cover it INSIDE my garage, LOL) and crank up my 2001 600+ HP Modded Corvette which ran an 11.42 at 122.58 MPH (Faster when I sprayed my 100 shot of N2O) and go give it hell. Have a video of it too.

My car has no Cats either, so it stinks up the entire garage. When I drive it, I put it in N, push it out of the garage, close my garage door, and THEN start it! LOL It's a beast! I have done every Mod known to Man except a SuperCharger. If I did it over, I would have just gotten a Supercharger to begin with, wopuld have been cheaper (Mine is all heads and Cam, & Bolt Ons!).

I am going to get a Magnetic "S", so I can put it ON/OFF when I need it, ike when a hot girl and I'm feeling sporty! LOL

Everyone says to drop it. But to me, the OEM 19s look fine with the stock suspension. It may look better, but I don't think it looks bad without a drop either. The car looks "normal". Some cars look awkwardly high on stock suspension, but the G does pretty well. I'm not sure what road conditions the OP drives in, but for some, it is not practical.

And yet you confuse a grounding kit with a ground fx kit?

Rims are looking good!

Let's see the vid of the Corvette. Not my cup of tea, but it sounds fun to drive.

the sport 19's look good on the sedan....

I would've went a darker (greyish/gunmetal) color though if I had them refinished. But thats just me.

Looks awesome. Are those all the same width (non-staggered)?

If so, can you get a shot or two down the side? I (maybe others) would like to see how they sit in regards to the wheel arches and the amount of flushness (is that a word)?

That, and the fact that PSS does have a stiff sidewall. Any tire with a stiff sidewall will tend to be less comfortable.
