I understand
I have the same but I think chrome looks better on an Orange SC/T
They look great on your car !!

Very nice dude, very nice, I agree on the spacers though bring them out a touch and your set.

TDavis · 03-09-2013, 07:58 PM

They're honestly not that much into the fender, they're out much more then the picture persists. These looks tons better IRL of course. I know they're out much more then the stock wheels thats for sure.

Gonna be raining alot so we'll see the reputation of these tires in the rain since they claim to have amazing dry and wet traction.

I've actually thought about doing that for just the front wheels on my car, for when I got to the drag strip. Would keep from flinging rubber and crap all down the side and bottom of the car when the wheels spin.

Whats the next step for it? Clean and simple, just the way a car is suppose to be modified.

TDavis · 03-17-2013, 09:57 PM

It's a flip of a coin really. Its either exhaust or brakes. Stock brakes don't look that bad as I thought they would(small) with these wheels so I'm leaning more towards the exhaust. Next I want to do little "restoration" bits to it like getting new B-pillar overlays since mine are chipped and maybe repaint my bumpers. Still need to repair the rear bumper, it might not pop out to many people but its an eye sore for me.

Next paycheck I need to pay the other half of my tires/balancing/mounting off. Had my dad charge it since he works at Ford and gets a discount on all of that then I would pay him the cash, told me to pay half and half so that I still have money for gas and such.

So for now it'll stay like this for atleast half a month. Till then we'll see what i might want.

I want to debadge but I also don't. If anything I want to keep just the "GT" but I feel that it would be a pain to rearrange the driver side "GT" to match symmetrically with the passenger side "GT."

Its really not that hard. Just let your car sit in the sun, or use a heat gun, and take some fishing line and run it behind the emblems. Then just use goo gone or whatever adhesive remover you want. And then just get some 3M double sided tape and stick it back on there. I did it to my GT when I had it, and it looked factory IMO.

sleepyalero · 03-17-2013, 10:21 PM

those wheels look like sht.

<3 paybacks a bch hahahaha

a set of baer brakes would look great. but dont think 1100$ for brakes is worth it to you.

i love my baer front break kit.

TDavis · 03-17-2013, 10:22 PM

Oh I know how to debadge. I'm just a perfectionist and need the badges to be perfectly symmetrical with one another.

And yea I'm not going to pay $1100 JUST for the front brakes

. I'm fine with regular 12" slotted rather then the 13" ones. Plus I want to go with the 12" slotted or blanks with the firebird calipers so that my stock 16s still fit.

I already got a red arrowhead overlay for my front badge to restore that dam sht since its pretty much pink lmao. Wanted to get some grill inserts for the bumper but I want black and theres no point when you won't see it that much and I don't want the silver color.

New mickey mouse mirros off an alero to replace faded dual post mirrors

I wasn't a fan of mickey mirrors either but the red and black ones grew on me quick. I still like the dual post better but these aren't all that bad.
