3 Year Anniversary! Pics inside

[LSblack00]

Been meaning to post pics for a long time, never got around to it until now. Here are some before and after pics. Since I bought the car 3 years ago on V-Day, I've added the LSE grille, 15% tint, blacked out the side markers, put on 18" wheels, and painted the calipers.

That was my next mod! If I decide to hold on to the car, that is. Kinda getting the itch for something different.

Thanks, sully!

Your car looks really good. I like the little touch of chrome in the grille and rear surround.

Ive been looking at 18's for a while now. I need something to run stickies on. I've been concerned about running a 5 spoke 18 on these cars. Generally speaking the mor space between spokes, the smaller it looks. I have found a few cars as of late that i absolutely love how they look..... yours is one of the best of late!

Very nice man. I love your style, you need some springs though.

I like it. I love the chrome grille. Clean all around.

Love the look. I've got a set of 18's waiting to be put on what size tired did you go with? I've been thinking about 245/40/R18...

I wouldn't do a 19" wheel personally because the tires are soooo expensive.

I went with 245 40 18. I did consider 19's but tire price for an extra inch wasnt worth it. Plus, the wheels only come in 17 and 18 and they were exactly what I was looking for.

Thats probably next after the rear surround, or the next time I have $300-400 burning a hole in my pocket .

real drag tires dont come in 19's or 20's. and for drag style launches you want the tires sidewall to flex promoting traction. The more sidewall you have the more flex you have.


and before anyone posts about nittos or BFG's, those are NOT drag radials! There is a reason people with those tires on most the time, take them off and put Mickey Thompsons on!

Mine with 5 spoke 18" looks bigger and some people ask me if they are 19"s

Suspension:

- Energy Suspension Swaybar Bushings

Suspension:
- Sprint Springs

i saw that they only make sprint springs for 00-04. any reason they won't work for an 05? i was thinking maybe there was a change in the suspension from 04 to 05, but the same eibach springs will work for any year ls. so my question is, is there anything stopping me from using sprint springs on my 05.
i want sprints over eibachs bacause of the 1.75 drop over the 1.1 drop.
