Back in Summer Mode
My car is back to summer mode... well... sort of

After rolling the fenders and doing a quick hand-wash, i decided to snap a pic or two.

A week ago




Now





Some nice rims

Looking sharp!
I'm not daring enough to switch over yet. My summer tires don't like the white stuff.
btw, what exhaust do you have?

Thats what i thought at first, loved the contrast and aggressiveness. But i quickly got tired of the look. Somewhat ricy and wasnt a very "clean look". But it was a winter setup so wahtever

Just some custom piping and some cheap magnaflow parts

Doughboy, I don't blame you for getting back in Summer Mode. I'm so tired of this winter, I'm assuming Springtime! But it was upper 50's here in Kansas City today. It makes it easier to assume Springtime...

I know I'm in the vast minority when I say I think the stockies are the best looking wheels that can be put on this car, and I must say that they look phenomenal on your Desert Mist. Knowing that you normally run with an aftermarket wheel application, do you still have spacers applied in these photos? The OEM wheels seem to be more flush than what I'm used to seeing, or it could just be me. If so, what size?
