After 5 Years My Baby Gets New Shoes!
And some other goodies as well. My end of year bonus paid for all of it, Merry Christmas to me.
First was 18x9 and 18x10 deep dish anthracite bullitt wheels from American Muscle. They were mated locally to Nitto 555s in 295/45 and 255/45 sizes. Man those 295s are big! (See comp photo.) Also ordered from AM were FRPP 4.10 gears. The gears were installed by ProFab in Thonotossassa, FL near Tampa. Great guys, thanks Matt and Dave! They also installed a BMR adjustable panhard bar while doing the gears. They gave me a great deal on the bar and didn't charge me to intall it (the old one had to come off anyway for the gear install). Next up is the Legend front splitter from Silver Horse Racing. It was a little expensive, but it is a very nice piece and what I wanted. And lastly, the GT500 spoiler painted and shipped for only $120 from the spoiler store on Ebay.
Thanks to MTAS (Dave) for all of the advice and for the contacts at ProFab. And thanks to anyone on this site who has 295/45-18s out back (including MTAS Dave). I looked at all of them many times before making my decision.
Next year's bonus? Supercharger maybe.

It looks great in pics and even better in person. The newest cosmetic mods completely changed the car in a very good way. Congrats Phil 
Post up those pics I emailed you from the shop. I deleted them after I emailed 'em. And yes - anyone in the Tampa/Orlando area who doesn't have the ability/time/space/tools to install mods, give ProFab a call: 813-531-2932 Matt LaRue. Dave & Matt @ ProFab have 1 of 2 shops that I completely trust my car with, no question.

Looks AWESOME Phil!!
Sorry I won't get to see it this weekend at Silver Springs as I have to miss it for the first time in tears.....
I will check it out at Fantasy of Flight in a few months though

Looks GREAT! If I could make a simple suggestion, the next thing to swap is that fishing pole antenna with this one from eBay. I have purchased 2 (lost the 1st one due to an accident) from this user without any problems in quality or reception.
