I've got angel eyes on the way and that's when I'll clear the headlights. I went out on a limb and got 20" wheels with a 34mm offset and I love 'em. I using 245/35 tires and there is no rubbing whatsoever. I don't have any more money so I won't be lowering it anytime soon. Thanks for the Red Stuffs and LSE grille Ken. It's been raining everyday here so disregard the dirty car.

Nice ride I like the chrome with black as well, looks sharp....but I would have got the foose's....I may be bias though....j/k

I would also suggest a set of the drilled and slotted rotors. They look great behind these type of wheels, very noticable

I have the EBC Red Stuffs and I bought some CRC Disc Brake Quiet http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/rodi_1943_14582333 and put it all over the back. It hardens up a little bit and thats what gives it the bright red look. I like it too.

Looks sharp man. I really like the wheels. Quiet a bit different from the last time we meet. Oh, and don't worry about the money thing, I don't know a lot of ppl that do.....Well, maybe the exception of Ken.:D

Nope. As you can tell, all pics are from her good side. :D I got a new chrome piece but I still need a new bumper. I just figured wheels, tint, and angel eyes would be way more noticeable than that scratch.:rolleyes:

I've got 20% on the sides, 5% on the back, and a 5% strip across the windshield. I love it. I should have done it a long time ago.

okay, thanks.. did the lse grill come with the chrome bars or did you buy that chrome bar stick on kit from ebay?

Are you going to get the back surround to match the black? It gives it more of an LSE look.

Looks good!

The '04-'06 has the chrome waterfall and the painted surround. I got it from www.lskoncepts.com. Thanks Ken.

Not for $229. No way. I like the chrome anyway.

I'm actually from Tennessee, but the Air Force has me stationed at Whiteman AFB, MO right now. It's about an hour or so south of Kansas City. I drive through both O'Fallons at least once a month when I go to Tennessee. I'm guessing your on the Missouri side of STL?
