They look okay, not for me though.

I'll be looking for a little more blingage, either polished or chrome (in 18's). But, that's later down the road.

"Later down the road" in TB time = next month at best.

That upgrade will cost a pretty penny, so I'll need a bit of a lead time to gather up the mad money.

I'm still up in the air on exactly what wheel to get. The tires will most likely be like Tom's BFG's or the triple nickels.

Eagle F1 GSD3s for me... I had the GS before and they are great.

Actually, I am more curious on how they hold up. I've seen some that were done and after a while they look pretty nasty.

it didn't. I got to a late start yesterday and realized I had too much crap to do yesterday and today still and I couldn't drive for 24 hours after they're painted, so I decided on doing the struts today. Which was going swimingly until I realized that I did not have a 20mm 1/2 drive (or any drive for that matter) to take off the spindle

I thought it was 19 and figured I was safe. Now starting early and ready to go, Sears opens at 10 there goes an hour. Great

My roush spoiler was attached with only 3m tape for side pieces. Never had a problem, even with people leaning on them. (my wife).

I agree Mike. Bill if I do the Roush its 3M tape for the sides, if it doesn't hold then I'll drill.

Funny I was thinking the same thing, here is a guy who cuts a shaker hole in the hood of his car, a big hole and he’s worried about a few tiny few holes

I wasn't too worried about drilling holes in the fender, just the fact that it had to be done.

I'm surprised the 3M is strong enough to hold the side spoilers on. If one (or both) fail, it'll most likely happen on the highway!
Kinda embarrassing if that were to happen. I remember reading one guy's post on his fake hood scoop blowing off on the highway.

That 3m Tape is strong, I'm not worried about it failing., not in the least. And even if it did fail on the highway its not much different to me then missing a shift, crap happens Bill

Geez, you made me look..
I have what looked like a full set of 1/2 drive sockets 12-22mm.
I double checked just 'cause you got me thinkin'...
I have no 20mm either. What's up with that???
Don't feel bad, I would have had the same problem.

That hood scoop was attached with 3M.

It may be strong stuff, but so is wind resistance.

I don't recall what brand, but he's running 275's on all corners.

OK Mr. Mod - O - Maniac wind resistance may be strong but I’m still not worried about it. You need to worry about how fast you can get to your next mod Mr. M.O.M. (Mod-O-Maniac)

You won't have me around the next few days which I'm sure is going to make many of you smile (ha) Going into the hospital and hopefully I'll be home on Wed afternoon.

Be good boys
