Need to take some pics with sisters digital cam, this was with a disposable :P

[Bryan]

Are those 19s?

[Jake]

18's, They look a little bigger because shes lowered 2 inches

[nascarnate326]

Repin the SE's

[Bryan]

Hotness. What's your suspension setup?

[Jake]

Not for long : ) Only thing done to the suspension is lowering springs, Intrax, dropped it near 2 inches.

i really like those rims on a blue car.

[WeibSunder]

2nd that...I really like those rims. I think they would look good on a white car too ;)

[ryanbgb22]

it looks like you'd come close to hitting your bumper on the street everytime you come into or leave your driveway lol

[Jake]

Hehe. I used to scrape, but not the bumper, was the black plastic peices that hang down below the bumper, so i cut them off :D

[Grreen99GT]

which headlights, the black housing with clear corner or the other one with clear corner?

[Jake]

All clear :D

^ Nice. The black would probably look sh!tty with that blue.

[Jake]

Thats what i was thinkin ;)

[ryanbgb22]

^i'd say black on almost any color but blue...dam, i wish those were that cheap when i baught mine.

[Jake]

How much were yours?

[ryanbgb22]

shyt, this might as well be an instant message lol. I believe mine were around $250 when i baught them last April. For a while they were cheap, then the price skyrocketed and one of the sellers on ebay said he was almost out and didnt think he was going to get more, so i baught mine. And then a few months later the price went back down again.

[Grreen99GT]

All clear :D

good choice that will look awesome, especially when you turn your car into that color blue gt

[Jake]

Yea im really excited about makin her a gt :D:D:D 1 bad thing about converting it, Im havin trouble findin the 2 ribbed gt panels, and the dealer wants 700 for all of them :-\

[AaronGTR]

Hehe. I used to scrape, but not the bumper, was the black plastic peices that hang down below the bumper, so i cut them off :D


Thats the air deflector. It's flexible so I woulda just left it there. It's kinda supposed to help direct air to the radiator as well as improve air flow under the car.


Might wanna try looking for GT body panels at an auto salvage yard. They'll be a lot cheaper, and whether they are new or used they'll have to be painted anyway so...

[Jake]

It may be flexible but I also found it very ugly lol. Ive looked at a few wrecking yards and no luck so far :( Edit : Dad in Michigan says hell " see what he can do" about the GT side panels, hopefully that means he'll get em for me hehe. :D :D :D

[Snowboardr18]

those do look bigger than 18, i never could afford to lower mine

[DrFabulous]

Chrome window trim FTL

[Jake]

Whats wrong with chrome window trim on a blue car with chrome rims? I think it looks pretty good

[Bryan]

^I agree. I love the chrome trim on the SEs w/ chrome rims. It's like the perfect accent or somethin.

[Jake]

Ty :)

[ryanbgb22]

what about all the $ you were talking about spending on a sc and/or a new car lol

[Jake]

Lowering isnt very expensive anyway :) 200 for the springs and 75 bucks to my moms friend :D

[Bryan]

Knowing someone or having experience with suspension components is almost necessary if you wanna lower for a decent price. Prices from shops for installation and alignment are pretty nuts.

[Jake]

Ya.... Shop where I bought my rims wanted 300 to lower it (plus 200 i had to pay for springs) And btw, price at any shop for anything is nuts, For christ sake shop charged my sister 149$ for spark plugs+wires and labor.

$300 to install springs which included the price of the springs? Thats not bad at all, that actually cheap, even without an alignment which should be extra. That's only $100 and it would take a couple hours to complete. Most shops charge $40-60/hr shop time... guy doing the work might only get $12-16/hr, but they also have overhead to pay and tools etc and they still have to turn a profit. Running a business isn't cheap and you don't do it to give away freebies. They're trying to make money, can't blame 'em for that. :)

I hate the way it looks, no matter what rims you have. Just my opinion though.

[Jake]

No.. that didnt include the price of the springs, 200 for the springs + 300 to lower it.
