Alright Heres Another Quick Update!

Installed my OEM All Weather Trunk Liner as well as a 2000 Watt Performance Teknique amp, Pushing a 12" Rockford Fosgate. Needed a little extra base, nothing to crazy though!



Also I picked up my rims today! was suppose to go yesterday but i lagged it and went to knotts soak city instead! Need to do more research on what tires to run before i purchase some.

XXR530 Front 18x8.75 +33 offset Rear 18x9.75 +20 offset


Front Rim


Rear Rim


And Some Muteki Short Lugs. Didnt want to get open ones cause of the whole rust issue.. so i've heard!


Hope Everyone Enjoys this quick update! everything will be installed and mounted within the next 2 weeks! if any of you know what tires are good for these rims feel free to pm me or let me know here!

For those of you whom are keeping up with this post, I installed my coils and rims last night, going to let the coils settle then do the camber kits. so i can get the exact stance i want. I had to use a 5mm H&R spacer in the front to clear the brembo! Here are some teaser pics, hope you enjoy! will post some really good ones up soon.
