Props for making this happen!

Gonna wrap them in Yoko S.drives I think. Going with 245/35 up front and 275/30 in the back. I spent a lot of time investigating offsets / width combos for the sedans so I think it should look perfect. Should be here in 6-8 weeks!!!!
Those forgestars are official

Thinking of ordering the motordyne XYZ straight pipe or some new slotted/ drilled rotors and some pads today.... I definately know the brake upgrade will look good with the rims and caliper powder coating

I wish I would have looked into the motordyne y pipe set up more. I probably would have gone with that. Are you getting new exhaust or leaving on what you had last year?

Slotted rotors would be a good choice too. I'll have some before May

The rims really killed my budget so I decided I will just rework my current exhaust set-up. Since I have not done any major engine mods I prefer the single exhaust over the true dual since that's what the current engine setup is designed for. I ordered some oem cats to replace my berk HFC's and I will switch out the y pipe with the Motordyne xyz pipe and leave the rest of the Ark exhaust depending on if their is damage to the mid pipe. I think there may be I hit the speed bump one night last year in my subdivision pretty hard and I think it hit the mid pipe.

Yeah I can see the wheels destroying your budget a little bit Did you receive them yet?

I think taking the HFC off will definitely help. I have been seriously contemplating putting my OEM cats back on it to quiet mine down a little and get rid of the rasp. I love how loud it is 99% of the time but the rasp just doesn't appeal to me. I just don't want to lose the power :/

I would think you could just get a section fixed in the mid if that's what happened. Shouldn't be too bad? You should get the XYZ asap and let me know how it is lol. I am curious if that would help my rasp issue which I sure it would. I just can't justify spending as much for the y pipe as i did for the y back.



Pics of my detailing "mod" that came in yesterday. Not quite as substantial as Dan's pile but it will do the job for a while.

Once I get the car up in the air I will check out the damage.. actually gonna have the OEM cats put on and check it then to see if there is any damage.

Actually thinking of just getting a nice indash multimedia unit instead of the XYZ so that I will have my tunes right for the long ride in May. I want to do something custom in my trunk

I am getting the wheels by May 1 with an extra air ship charge to make sure i have them for NC and MIA.... just debating if I want V12's again.

This warm weather made me ambitious and I simply could not wait for the potential suspension installation day haha. So I just installed Z/G springs and clear corners. Pictures coming after I give it a quick wash this afternoon.

Yeah Ipod integration is definitely needed for the long drive. I need to figure out what I can do. I'm thinking just wiring that PAC unit into the stock headunit.

Did you not like the V12's? What else are you considering?
