ps: I'm still down on my PC at work I hope I don't get busted for being on TMS now I know what it feels like Brian. I wonder on the Nexus gauges if they are to big of a style departure from my side post Ultralites? They sure look slick with those needles jumping around

I wouldn't mix n' match, might look goofy. You can always switch all your gauges to Nexus and sell the Ultralites to Brian or Leo.
George, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's one bowtie emblem anywhere on the Vette. I don't see the Vette as a Chevy, it's a radical departure from the rest of their car line... it's their flagship performance car.

Quick opinion guys...
wheels & tires is gonna run me 1800 or so bucks installed. I can get the Nitto 555s for about 100 buck cheaper than the KDW NT like Leo has. Should I go with the Nitto tires for 1800 or the BF Goodrich KDW2's ???
Only thing is, I was planning on spending about 1500 or less for the wheels/tire combos and hoped to use the rest for gauges. At 1900 bucks I'm not 400 bucks over wheel and tire budget cutting into my gauge money.... argh
. At this rate I might as well spend 2K on wheels and tires and just be over the whole dang thing. 
Oh yeah... I still have to consider the Adj Panhard into the equation.
With ANY luck I should have my new shoes by R&R on the 16th.

Brian: Guess I never noticed that little bowtie in the logo before. 
On the tires, get the Triple Nickels if it's the better deal for you. I've read that they're great performing tires. How they compare to the KDW's, I dunno.
For me, it's looking like the Toyo Proxes 4. They're the only performance 20" that come in 295's at the overall diameter that I want to stay in.
At first, I wanted to stick with the ol' all American brand stuff on the Mustang, but blew it with the Alpine and (soon to be) D-Specs & Eibach(?).

295s Very nice. I could go 295 and have a taller tire but I think for the first try the 285 ought to be big enough. I don't know the Toyo's well enough to know how they stack up.
Anywho back on topic....
Nittos will be cheaper and although I LOVE the tread pattern of the BFGs I may have to stick to Nittos......
SO next Tire mod will be a set of 17" with DRs !!!!
Wonder how much I can get for my Bullitts. Curb rash and all ??

If you can get $600 for them, that's pretty good.
Well, that rules out the Mexican chili tamale.
mmm.. those are tasty!
