Great looking car...as much as I hate keeping black clean, to me it does look the sharpest...and on the 13's I think it is the best color.

Do you have a part # for these speakers? Are they plug and play or is some kind of adapter needed?

Currently have the Borla touring catback. I like it but I'm going in a different direction. I think it shaved off 40 lbs.

Well.......I must say that it simply just doesn't get any ruder looking than that, BackinBlack.

Your car is simply outstanding.-----Bill

Matte black 5.0. Blowdryer/fishing line/goo gone.

This adhesive crap took longer to take off than I thought.

Wow, used to be in years past, a few minutes with a hairdryer and stuff would come off with very little residual gunk to clean off.....guess they don't want them coming off very easy!

How did you like those 285's?
They look really good on there ... I'd love to see some better pics showing the wider rear tires ...

near Gaithersburg.

Thanks, i'll see what I can dig up Gabe. Honestly they are too big for this wheel. I don't like how it drives past 65 mph. Now if its a 19x5 or wider they should be fine.
