Looks very nice. Aftermarket LED really has come a long way.

 

Washed for the first time since last November (but put 2800 miles on it so it is driven)

 

Not sure if they're the style you're after or if they're the right specs, but the '16 Flex Appearance Package wheels look nice. If you wanted to go with an OE option.

 

 

While leaving Cars & Coffee? 😂

 

I legitimately forgot this had to be a recent picture thread, my bad. I just posted a screenshot that I really liked lol. This is from about ~30min ago in the local canyons.

 

The natural habitat of the CTS-V wagon that is not tracked on a regular basis.....

 

today

 

Thanks,Those are nice but Im looking for something 20" (depending on if i find the right wheel id allow my self to go up to a 22 but would prefer to stay 20) with around 9.5 to 10" wide.( I want to stuff 285-295s on it.

 

Someone should tell that kid not to smoke next to the gas pumps!

 

If they wouldn't be so expensive, being brand new, I'd love a set on our White Suede Flex.

 

first thing I saw as well

 

lucky that kid wasn't on his cell phone too, the place would have blown up!

 

Nice looking headlight mods! Did you do them yourself, or have a shop do them?

 

 

Thanks. I did them my self. It really wasn't that hard even though ford uses permaseal. When heated it is fairly workable, not like butyl workable but still can be opened. I only had to heat each headlight 2 times to get them opened. Having a friend for an extra set of hands really helps. The EVOX-R projectors are a "Direct" bolt in. No modifying at all. 4 screws and they are mounted.

 

Tried to put together a series of pics to illustrate the blinkers. Probably would have been easier to take a video lol

 

That's pretty cool. You should have just put Audi headlights in.

 

 

Had my wheels powder coated Dark Grey Sparkle..





Got her home and put another coat of polish on her..

 

^ like the rim color

 

Really like the contrast of the dark grey on the silver. So the front is blacked out and the wheels are dark grey now so are you going to black out the side vents and window trim now?

 

Looking good JT4! Digging that wheel color...

 

Thanks for the compliments. ...

Yeah, the front has been blacked out since a week after I picked her up new back in 2013, and I am considering blacking out the trim. I had been wanting to do the rims for a while and was considering either aftermarket wheels or powder coating the OEM's. After a ton of flip flopping I decided on powder coating after a lot of help from my oldest son who kept telling me to keep the OEM's. I knew I had wanted a color in the Gunmetal family but had no idea there were so many choices, actually too many LOL.

So decided on Dark Grey Sparkle which has a gloss finish, in the shade they're pretty dark, probably a little darker than I wanted. But in the sun they're the color I wanted and the metal flake in the powder pops like crazy, you just can't really see it too well in photos.

Funny, had them done this past weekend and yesterday was 3 years to the day I picked her up at Lindsay Cadillac in VA and drove her 260 miles back to NY with my oldest son (or as he likes to say "co-owner")

 

 

Was doing a photoshoot for the customer and then my car was sitting so pretty. haha

^^Nice pic..

 

Great picture JS

 

Thanks guys!

If you guys ever visit LA, let me know. I'll take you up to the canyon and do a photoshoot.

 

Let's do it.. i want a shot just like that with the sun

but let me wash my car first... havent washed it since March.

 

BTW: are you running positive camber in the rear?

Dude for sure!!! Let me know man.

No, it's just the angle and the wide angle lens. I usually don't shoot any outside with my wide angle but my car was just sitting pretty. haha

0 camber on my car right now. Planning to go -2/-2 with stock coilovers. It's doable with camber bolt trick for the front and Lower Control Arm in the back.

 

i am not a camber expert but i dont think 0 camber is good for RWD cars. unless you are being and trying to save your tires

but yah i will let you know .. i definitely wanna take some "professional" pictures. Just need to find a time when gf is away.

 

Not perfect. Gets me from point A to point B. Starts in the middle of winter which is a bonus.

 

The newest aquisition.

 

It's not good or bad, the car is very neutral at all 0. The only way to get the camber in the back is either through coilovers or lower control arm upgrade. I would love me some camber in the front, and have some ideas for it.

For sure man, you got my email. Just bring your gf with you. The top at the canyon is super chill. Nice views, girls love it.
