These are what I chose. 18x9 and 18x10 with 285 rear and 255 front.

 

Last of the performance mods... Well for now anyways.

Steeda delete plates


BBK Throttle Body


Magnaflow X-pipe


FRPP 4:10 and bearing kit

 

Got everything installed and programmed the new tune and it made a HUGE difference. Much more responsive now. Only problem is it has a hard time maintaining idle sometimes and stalls due to the cams but I was told to expect that since I have no tune for the cams yet.

New plates.



New Throttle Body.

 

Just finished installing the X-pipe. Wasn't going to rev it cause my neighbors would shoot me but it sounds much better. And yes I know I have a bulb out.

Did a quick video of the exhaust while moving. Seeing it I should of went slower so you got a better sound clip.

That sounds good. I would have guessed it to be raspy sounding because of the x-pipe but I see it is catted and I am sure that's why it sounds so good.

 

Wheels showed up but they screwed up and sent gun metal instead of black. I actually don't mind them. I have been in touch with the vendor to see how to resolve this. Shipping alone will be $600 plus whereas I could get them powder coated locally for $400. We'll see if I can get them to agree to that. Also had the front lip painted.

 

Well.... With the exception of the tune.... I think I am done! Well... Everything I had planned anyways. I am sure I will still find things to do though. Here are some before and afters.

I actually like the current wheel color and think it goes with the body color rather well. The car looks great!

 

Well I got it cleaned up and I actually really like the wheels. Don't think I am going to powder coat them.

 

Youd like my wife's car based upon your mod selection. lol

 

Great job with the car... Isn't mod'ing fun?

 

Yeah now I am on to brakes and some engine dress up stuff.

 

sharp car, now the outside matches with the black and gray interior. I would keep them and see if they would send a rebate since they are not what you ordered. Put the money toward your brake upgrade.

 

Did you paint the GT emblems on the side and the trunk emblem?

 

Yes. I soaked them in bleach first to remove the chrome then painted them.

 

What type of paint did you use, spray can or automotive paint? also did you have to put new double sided tape on? Thanks

 

I used Krylon Fusion followed by Dupont clear. Yes you have to use new tape.

 

You are my mod hero. But I think you went over the top by getting rid of the leather...

 

Looks great, thanks for your help!
