Just read through this whole thread and I lol'd at work like 3x, Car looks awesome. Inspiring me to put the Koni yellows/ H and R springs on this spring. Great Work
Thanks man! It’s nice to have people appreciate the hard work. Drop it! Only way to drive is slow and low
So again yet again I went for MX over mods!! I replaced my old worm OEM rotors and pads with these drilled/slotted joints. I also painted the calipers (properly) red to match the new lugs tat will be going on. I’ll get that Aspec one day....hopefully. I’ll do the rears in a few weeks, let’s pray it warms up by then.

Butch, read through your whole thread and I either missed it or you never posted any more detailed shots of your exhaust tip setup and the specs on the tips.
From what I can tell your removed the black plastic portion around the tip outlet and spaced the tips outwards a bit more. Are the tip 3.5" in diameter? That's what I'm hoping to do on my base bumper as well.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Correct, the shop I took it to in SLC relived the black plastic piece, cut the tip length down as well as the exhaust, then tweaked em outwards. I do believe the tips are 3-3.5”. I can’t recall honestly
So i sold the Niche’s and I’m looking at changing the wheel set up. So far I’m leaning toward the Avid AV20 or Avid AV32. I’m going with 18’s this time around for ride comfort and so i don’t have to raise to the TL, I likes it low!! Question is what width and offset will help me accomplish a flush to the fender look? I’m also running15MM spacers on all four corners. Open to all suggestions. I can’t keep it like this for long, the wife is hounding me!!
So I decided to go with the Avid1 AV20 version in white w/ specs of 18X9.5 +22 offset. Going to take the spacers off as well. So another question is what is a optimal tire size? I was thinking 215/40 but I also want a more comfy ride. Suggestions?
I’ve been so super excited to get these on! Looking at the pics they poke out quite a bit, going to have to run some negative camber for sure. Since moving to Michigan the TL is a summer ride only. Thoughts??
So here’s a few shots from the garage. Still have to bleed the brakes one more time and put new 3M tape on the rear visor, so please go easy on me because I know it’s a filthy whore right now!
In looking at your garage, looks like the builder saved abotu $100 and put standard doors in. You can still convert to "High Lift" Doors and get a lift (or two) in your garage
- There is a person in the midwest that can spec and send the parts you need
- Takes about a day of mods per door. More on the first if you take your time
- Need to get a shaft driven opener (much quieter) like a LIftmaster
- Then get a nice two post assimetric and put your jack stands away.
- Impressed you have a drain.

The garage is a mess and will be cleaned up this weekend!! My 3rd car spot is used table saw and other shop items for the wife’s Etsy business. As far as a lift I’d be nice but I don’t plan on staying here in Michigan long term. With that being said Breezy the house will be up for sale in 3 years if you want 1st dibs!

Nice looking place. Wish I had a 3 car garage, hell I'd take a 2.5 at this point. My 2 car is tight with both in there. Can't have anything on the walls and its not super deep so you walk out of the door to the house and you are on the bumper of what ever car is there... Never again will I have a 2 car garage, but for a first house and a budget you have to compromise a little.
Nice house and home. You should be proud.
Nice Flex as well. I like the flag on the rear window.
Congrats on doing well.
We have outside lights, they’re just recessed under the awning near the garage doors. The neighborhood is really nice and I can’t complain. Thanks for all the compliments fellas
So I had half the cash saved up for that Aspec kit but I am electing to do a repaint on the front end, hood, and 2 fenders. I was quoted at 1700 which I thought was more than reasonable. Aspec will have to wait yet again
