Snapped a few shots of the old girl this evening. I haven't floated many pics of the new wheels. Finally changed by sig too. Maybe I'll wash it one day soon... (I know, I know..the chrome's gotta go)

Yes... I forget the % but it's not that dark as would be apparent by the pics. Never had a problem with it.

Man.... I need to resize my sig pic. Thought I had but it seems to have blown back up...

PMQ!!!

Don't know how the chrome will look once it's lowered since it sticks out maybe another 1/4" or more over the lip.

How is the sub project coming along? I'm one of your potential customers u know.

I already have the CC springs sitting in the box but am shivering at the thought of replacing all the rubber$ and Tocico blue$. Wes let me know in a very gentle way that I'm a friggin idiot if I don't. I have half a mind to just install them then lie to everyone about all that I replaced.

I think that if I keep the old blues (purchased end of 98'), the ride won't be as punishing.... Just my cheap azz logic speaking....

Nice way to justify not buying new shocks!

At least replace your rears, ill feel less bad if you dont replace the fronts.

Oh yeah, the car looks pretty good... I kinda wish the wheels were a little brighter, but at least they appear to be good quality and pretty light!

I think it'll look bada$$ once you get those springs on

Just put 'em on! It only took my bro and I about 1.5 hrs to swap mine out. You can just do it again later to replace the rest of the stuff!

Wes,

I think the titanium color matches perfectly with the burgundy. These are very light hydraulic forged wheels so the unsprung weight is pretty good.

I've got ONE!

LOL. Then other things got in the way. I probably won't be making anymore.

It's a ~1.5~2ft^3 SEALED enclosure. There are alot of subs that fit this airspace.

You and wes were the only ones that showed real interest. Which ever one wants it can get it(pay of course "

Are there any pics of the enclosure finished, it was a 10 right? Also what's your price?

Sorry didn't mean to hijack.

It was for a 12". Price was $200 + shipping.

You still have to tell me how you want it finished. Right now it's enamel gray. I'll knock off $20 if you want it unfinished

Sand down the chrome, and paint it to match the rocker panels. That would be a cool look.

I found a tint place close to the office, I may tint my windows like yours. I like the "mystery" it adds to the car.

Not only mystery...tint makes it easier on your leather and keeps the car a bit cooler, especially when you're driving in hot sunny weather.

I'm missing one of the chrome strips due to some chick that tried to back my car into the garage almost taking out the center post. The chrome strip looked like an accordian and the car came away with minor dents and scratches. Had to replace some wood and hook up back my garage door so the damage to my house was worse. I'm going to just take em off and polish the fenders. I may have to sand down the small screw holes and putty them then touch up to hide.
