New Wheels and Grille for my GT/CS

Just bought a race red GT/CS and I've already got new TSW Willow wheels and a Roush grille. I did have to modify my front brakes to get the 19x9.5in wheels to fit. The driver side fit with about 2mm clearence but the passenger side was barely rubbing as I turned the wheels. So I had to file down that brake to get it to stop rubbing. Its all good now.

Thanks, I was thinking that black wheels would look best with Race Red and I was looking for wheels with a lip, so these TSW Willows fit the bill.

Fabulous! I like the race red. I had to go black for mine though!

How hard was the grill to put in?

Thanks. I didn't do it myself, but I think you have to take the front bumper cover off. So I let the shop who installed the springs and exhaust do it.

Did you get the new tpms installed with them or do you just drive with the tire pressure light on??

Yeah, I ordered them from discount tire so I was able to get new sensors wih the wheels and tires. I mounted them on my car but my TPMS alarm never went off even after a 600 mile trip. I was sure I would have to buy something to get the car to learn the new sensors, or at least take it to the dealer.
