Blackbird's 2011 GT/CS
Been wanting to make a thread documenting progress. But it never happened. So here it is now! 
Stock
After Koni STR.Ts and Steeda Sport Springs installed:
275/40/19 Michelin Pilot PS2s wrapped around Miró 111s:
Grabber Pony shift ****:
That's how she looks now.
Next mods planned to be done are hidden side exhaust with electronic cutouts and 3M clear bra. I'm also planning on changing the hood to the 302S from Tiger Racing and the grill to the Saleen. The grill and the hood swap isn't for sure but i'm thinking about it.

So a little update... none of the things I posted have been installed yet because I was going back and forth with the shop guys getting different estimates in Superchargers. I've decided on the Kenne Bell 2.8LC. So probably about 2 weeks before the kit arrives and they can start installing everything. I'm pretty **** excited.

Been a little while since I updated this. It's currently in the shop having everything put on. They did a baseline dyno with the Steeda CAI and tune on and it produced 406rwhp. I saw it yesterday in the shop and they're making progress but they ran into a hiccup when the tech checked the pulley on the supercharger and found the bearings weren't right. It wobbled when he tried to move it around so hopefully the new pulley will arrive tomorrow.
Pictures of it in the shop:

I so want to put a supercharger on my car, but I find that I don't really use the 400+ ponies I have on any sort of regular basis. I wonder what the heck I'd do with 600 other than play mine is bigger than yours. Man, I hope this isn't maturity, I'm only 51.

Thank you!
Not sure if you meant diameter and width. 19x9.5
I don't always use the 400 I have... err had either but when it's there it's a friggin blast. Now it'll be just insane. Pretty sure I haven't had that thought process though seeing as i'm 30 years younger.
