Quick overview of the latest stack of stuff:

Some goodness for the hands:

The steering wheel swap was straightforward, my girlfriend handled moving the buttons over and installing it. The feel is awesome, price was right, and so happy to not be burning my hands anymore.


The front Konis + GT500 mounts (one of my stockers fell apart when I took it out, ball bearings everywhere

)

Can't say enough good things about this setup, a total change of attitude for the car.


I have another thread on these wheels earlier, but some quick shots of the new wheels in different light:

Man, what an awesome ride!! I love everything about it.
How much did the springs and struts run you?

 

[YerBuddysPony]

That's just plain...plain pretty!

 

[ssimaniac]

Love it, looks great. I'd also like to know how much did the lowering setup cost? total

The springs and swaybars were provided by eibach in exchange for marketing use of my car, but the koni yellows and GT500 mounts ran $740 after all was said and done.

I still want to get some M/M caster/camber plates or other adjustable mounts down the road.

$143 from Tousley


Last mod for a bit showed up today:

I'm still on the fence about installing it (they're gloss black, straight from the Boss302R Grand-AM program, the oem was able to remove the boss 302R logos and make a custom set).

What say you?

They'd look like this:

A little more wheel detail for the ignorant please?! What is Tousley? I only ask because that may be the best wheel combo I've seen to date. What's the manufacturer and model? Are they 19"? You have the OEM Brembos, correct? Did you have to flash the computer for different wheels? Thanks!

Ok, My bad! I've scowered the internet looking for those wheels at $143, but it's the steering wheel @ $143 not the wheels.

 

[chris_red_v8]

lol, the wheels were somewhat more. They're in the 800-900 range for a set of 4.

eurowheelsgallery.com is where I picked up mine.

 

[z28th1s]

Looks very good!!

 

[YerBuddysPony]

I'm not crazy about the stripes Chris. It's a personal preference and I'm sure, with your talent, you'll make it fantastic. I just love the way your car looks without them. The pic above, at the gas station, is one of my favorites of all time. Looks so very clean with a mean stance. Just my simple opinion.

 

[BigTuna]

Looks very nice, even better with the Brembo wheels IMO...

 

[Mattmonay]

Sick steering wheel man! All in all, verrry nice!

 

[MoStogies]

Awesome ride! Love the color. I also see the AZ background...sure do miss the place! :bigthumbsup

 

[glyppus]

What color is that? Looks awesome all the way around!
