| Hopefully I will have better pix soon. Going to have it detailed on Friday (mostly engine bay so I can start posting pix of those) and am going to get familiar with the camera so I can post better pix. Trying night shots tonight and jsut found out how to stabilize the camera shot. Got to get ready for the calander! Thanks for the compliment. | |

| I forgot to say - it does indeed look very nice - the Y section looks remarkably clean. I hope mine looks that good. The way the the pipes are situated in relation to the wheels looks very aggressive. | |

| Yeah, it looks to Regal-ish. I personally prefer the stock grille design, but we all have our own tastes. | |

| If my trunk is loaded, have 3 200# passengers , and I don't have the Ranchos on a stiffer setting, I get a little rub on the rears. With me and my two sons, some weight in the trunk, and a soft setting I have never had a problem. Fronts have never rubbed. I have flogged this car on some bumpy, back-country roads and have always been impressed with how the car handles. If I was using the car as a truck, I would probably use an air ride assist bags in the back to help out the rear springs. | |

| Braking, acceleration, and handeling are all dramatically improved. Don't underestimate the effect of rolling mass. I lost 50+lbs and another wad of money and it is worth it! Still have the other wheels if I decide to take it to any car shows. | |

| I believe it. Some think because the car is so heavy, that 50 lb doesn't matter because it's such a small percentage of the total. But unsprung weight is different. It's not only weight your car has to pull along, this is weight that fights against torque and braking. It's weight that increases rolling inertia. Even though they are bigger, the extra load on your trans is offset somewhat by the fact they are lighter. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^ | |

Looks great both ways! I do think it looks a little more sinister, for lack of a better description, with the new wheels! | |
