Getting these babies installed wrapped in Hankook V12s tomorrow, if spacers arrive in time. A proper photoshoot will be coming in the next week or so, if weather cooperates. So excited!



I gotta send a BIG THANKS to John (M55555) for all of his help and motivation via pictures to do this. I'll soon be his East Coast jet black slightly louder brother LOL

Those are going to look sinister on your jet black.

Make sure you take GOOD pictures, not like these half asleep/half drunken pics

Hah, will have my friend with a REAL camera take the pics..I'm only good at "certain" photography that wouldn't be appropriate for here really.. unless, it involved Mieke of course. I'm going to work on that actually..Terabass had some shoots that inspired me some time back

Yeah, I've been having trouble concentrating on work with these sitting a few feet from me..SO anxious to get them on!

I'll try and get some video in addition to the pics too..praying for clear weather this weekend! Not likely for FL summers though lol..

Recently dropped with B&G springs and may go to Koni yellows depending on my stock shocks hold up. So the tires fit the wheel wells rather nice.

Just snapped a few quick shots on my cell of her stance with the B&G springs and OEM shocks outside. Parking lot is a ghost town by 5pm! lol

I think it's gonna look great, but then again I'm going with what I know is proven on most of my mods. LOVE the forums for this reason!
