Someone was nice enough to set these inside for me while I was at work. What a nice surprise!
Now it's time to install my Vossen's and get into my other winter projects!
Posting my Sport Wheels/Tires, Sport Bumper, and other stock parts to the classified's here in the weeks to come.

Wheels in progress... Sold off my OEM sport wheels and front bumper. Time to get back to business on the upgrades.
Realized I need to take the front indicator bolts off both hubs before installing my wheels... and I also need new locking lugs to fit the CV1's... think I'm going to do some kind of cool anodized color. Just getting a visual of rear wheel on the car while I check out tires, rotor's and lugs.

Finally! My new tires, TPMS, and black McGard wheel locks have all arrived.
Hopefully I can wire brush my rotor's, paint the hats, and get my wheels mounted/balanced this weekend.
Meanwhile, I can't stop admiring the silver flake in this powder coat. Fingers crossed I can put these on my car tomorrow.

Had a nice productive weekend, despite the snow rolling into Ohio yesterday.
Rotors - Corrosion before wire brushing and painting
Rotors- After wire brushing, taping, and painting
Ready for my new wheels and tires!!!
Close up of my black McGard wheel locks. I really like how they stick out a bit on the rear concave wheels, but then they fit down in the countersink of the front wheels.
Now this is finally starting to look like what I've imagined since day 1... at least it's only six months later.
Of course... here comes the snow, time to tuck this G back in the garage!

Yeah it definitely needs lowered asap. Low profile tires on these 20's make the gap to my fenders look HUGE! But I have a bunch of moving expenses next month, so coil-overs are going to have to wait until I save up a bit more.

Weather was decent enough to drive the other day so I took her for a spray down. Can't get over how wide those tires are in the back now... pretty beast.
Still in love with the blacked out IPL front... just need to wire in my lower fog lights and replace the rest of my bulbs with LED's.
This pic makes me seriously consider getting springs until I can finally afford coil overs later on.
