I am duly impressed with your ride.
Kinda made my mind up on rims..since I just scored a job.
Probably go with some 19"TSWs since they work great on your car

yeah my struts might be getting old lol. Nice score on the job n me n pappas was talking about thw 19s a little. I think they fit the car perfect l, especially with the lower. That might be why ours are differwnt too, because of rim n tire difference. I love it thanks!

Also went n found a sweet spot for pics ill be uploading soon!:thumbup:

Then I blasted the rears n tried the same with a little breaker bar n hammer n stripped them both. Ill mess with them another day n figure it out. I painted the rear calipers red for now but I wanna get the drilled n slotted rotors on eventually. Thanks tho I will give that a shot.

What size were your fronts again spazz? If you remember, if not ill scroll back n see lol

Ya its clamp that you twist this knob on it and close it, my buddy used it and got his 7 bolts out of his engine in like little less than an hour. I never tried it so i dont know for sure if it can help you but just throwing it out there to help.

BTW car is looking gorgeous bro, keep it up.

possible they could work with a stout vice-grip brand, although they have a tendency to spring open when you smack em.
Harbor freight time for some bolt extractors.

Just noticed the tint rev bar yep yep, you redo the spoiler yet?
when I did my rotors the front was a b!tch from the locktite but the back came off esy. I just used a 1/2 inch ratchet with an impact socket and tapped with a 3lb. mall. Did you round out the head of the bolt?...small pipe wrench time?

Haha yeah I love the way it sits now, beating myself up cuz I just shoulda got ssc from rip, but I just might keep the DNA fronts on for now. N no I haven't done the spoiler yet, still have the paint sitting but when I get a day off work now I usually just wanna chill n not get into something cuz then I have to finish lol. But I was thinking I could throw my old one back on n take my time as well too. N yeah I rounded the bolt heads. Them harbor freight sockets look nice tho. Maybe ill pick them up or try other suggestions before I buy them. They can be a lifesaver tho.

right now I'm currently waiting on an overkill pcm, and new hid kit w. harness from ddm w. 4500k bulbs. I have court tomorrow for my hid 12k headlight ticket, stupid ones on from when I bought the car. So ill be switching headlights to stock in case they look at it with some sylvanias lol. I bought a cheap relay off ebay n think I fried my amp or something. My subs have been out for a week or so n they went out when I hooked up the cheap relay. Fml. Pappas13 dad checked all power with voltmeter thing n all was good. My amp lights up the blue like it should but doesn't push anything out to the subs. I checked all my fuses and connections, ground..n all checked out. So maybe it's time for a new amp? I went n bought some tb cleaner n I think m gonna clean my throttle body. I sometimes get a p2101 since I did my headers n it hesitates when I'm on the freeway. Grand Prixs Of North America • View topic - p2101 there's what the code is but idk man I hate ses lights lol.
