The wheels are on the way, friggen excited! Arrival date is the 23rd(Wednesday). I might take off work Wednesday if the wheels are in and get tires put on, I have to get my license renewed anyways.
I took the exhaust off today and the car sounds plain silly, want to put it back on but 4/6 bolts broke lol. The car is dirty as hell too, gotta love black.

I am psyched for you. A black second gen sitting on Rushforths is going to be a great looking combo. It should go without saying, but charge those camera batteries up.

Hopefully the tire shops are open tomorrow so I can get some slapped on, I was gonna drop the rear down Friday but all the shop bays were full.

Got the wheels on today and they are awesome. The front center caps don't clear though but they don't rub thank God. The rears BARELY clear, little bit more clearance than my finger, so glad I went with 295's instead of something bigger. Wasn't a fan of the tread at first but they really look good with the car and it also rides SOOOO much smoother. I didn't think a set of wheels/tires could make a car drive that much better. It looks so much better in person too, idk why but it just doesn't show well in the pictures.

The car needs to be dropped a little bit though, have to look for some u bolts since I already have the blocks.

God this thing gets so much attention it's crazy, went to Buc-ee's and every was walking up to it. So awesome lol.
