Second pic looks better IMO, shows off the white more.

That's what I was thinking. The flash makes it look white lol but it's grey and matches the seats perfectly.

Nice, let me know what your thoughts are on it, once you're done tinkering with it. I was considering buying one of those.

Will do. I was so tempted to take it out for a drive but I didn't. Wish I did. I was having problems for a while and I probably spent an hour an a half in the car and installed two tunes.

Need some opinions on some wheels. I'd like to get a new set of rims next and I'm not completely sure which to go with. Give me some opinions on what y'all think.

I would go with any finish on these rims except all black. I just think all black rims on a black car look odd.

I kinda like the GS rims and the ones in the third picture.

Those are my favorite. I think they will look great on the car. And they are ultra deep dish.

The 10th anny rims are always good looking, never seen them on a non new-edge though.

Black chrome can look pretty good, but they vary in darkness, some look almost black.

Does it tend to look better on a black car over regular chrome?

Here's a pic of a black car with black chrome rims. I want to say I think it looks better in person then in pictures.

The iTSX has become the biggest POS I've ever dealt with. I'm so disappointed in SCT. I wish I never got it. A few months ago when all those issues with the SCT tuners popped up, I left mine alone because it had been working fine. Well I went in a couple weeks ago, to swap back to the 87 tune and it wouldn't let me do anything because the dongle needed a firmware update. Fine whatever. Plug it into my computer (Mac) and download the update. It's a .exe file, and I go back and read the instructions - obviously you need a PC to install this. Why the f*ck would a company come out with an iPhone app that you can only update with a d*mn PC?!?

So I borrow my buddy's PC, install the firmware and everything is fine. Plug it back in the car, and now it doesn't light up. Phone sees it but won't connect, so I reset it multiple times. Blue light flashes but nothing happens. Still wont connect. Delete it from my Bluetooth on the phone, try to reconnect. Nothing. So basically I'm stuck with a 91 performance tune on my car, which I hope passes smog next year, unless I get this figured out. I used to work at apple too, so I know what I'm doing with tech stuff. The app is/was crap, never reliable and now it's pretty much dead. Luckily the car still starts, for now at least.

It was very difficult to deal with. However the car feels much better, I couldn't help myself but I had to get her out and onto the salted roads, she has been parked for what feels likes forever now.

On another note I'm really looking at some o/r mid pipe and still not decided on what to go with. Thinking of going x pipe. I know lots of people with GTs get the Mac pro chamber and I might end up getting that.

Really considering dropping some money into the car and I was thinking either long tube & mid pipe OR cams.

Only cams I seem to find are for nitrous or super charger cars so I'm wondering if I got cams would they be a good bang for my buck?

Also I was thinking Mac longtubes and prochamber mid pipe.
