Sorry for the late reply, fellas! Been off the forums for a while.

The wheels are Shelby CS40's (20x9, 20x10), painted satin black, and the tires are 245-35/295-30. I'm going to bump the rears up to 315-35's in a couple weeks.

I never did get a chance to take detailed pics of the lights, but will do so as soon as the rain stops this week. I'll take pics with lights on and off.

I do currently have some condensation inside the lights, because I used window weld to seal them, as opposed to clear silicone. I'm hoping they'll be good once I silicone them; if not, I'll have to purchase a new set and call it a failed experiment, as I will NOT attempt to do it again.

Thanks for the compliments!

no close-ups yet, but my buddy just sent me a bunch of pics he took last week, so I figured I'd share a few of my favorites...

I love the stance of your car. The wheels fit perfect under the car, it looks fast sitting still.

I like the stance of your car, looks killer, I swear. I want 315's also but it looks like your right at the edge now and 315's would take you past the fender lip. I'll wait til you post pics before I buy 315's.

thanks, greg. i punked out and got 295/35's though. glad i did, cause the sportlines are way too low for the 315's i was looking at. as it is, i can barely get one finger between the rear fender and tire. no rubbing yet though...<knocking on desk>

sorry i took so long to get some closer shots of the lights fellas; finally got some today (still using a crappy camera though). please ignore the filthiness, just got through several days of rain...





rear's gonna look a lot better once i delete that godforsaken emblem...





i'm lovin the new rear tires; debating some fatter fronts now...

i'm not usually a fan of LEDs, but this was a fun $25 mod...







my wife, forever the horse person, love them because they look like horse shoes (haha)! never would've occurred to me, but definitely fitting.

Nice! You know you can do white LEDs for the reverse lights and they will shine through as white, right?

really? I was planning on putting the reverse lights in slots on lower fascia, but if they'll shine white trough the red tint, even better...

thanks, patrick!

No prob. LEDs don't have the same properties as halogen bulbs. The white light will shine right through the red tint. Obviously it won't be as bright, being that the tint covers up the clear reflector, but the LEDs themselves will shine through.
