Yea your right it's pretty sick. You better let us know how it goes cause I am looking for a good exhaust shop. I have yet to find one in this area

I pressed a button in my Focus rental and the footwell lit up (a different color with each push).. and this happened



I also saw my car. The picture of progress, I'm so excited! Just a preview below. My next photo will be the finished product. Stay tuned!

Yes got her back last week but I went to SEMA so I haven't be able to drive her. I have been driving my other car to get enough miles for the supercharger to go in. I am trying to make the Elite open house but cannot be sure I will be able to make it since I work on Saturdays. Also waiting on some Nt05r to come in this week, car has no traction at all.

I ordered the Mickey Thompson radial 2 305/35/20.
Looked into the nt05r but heard the mt hooks better in dry.

As long as I can get 5-6k miles I would be happy. Also I will have to pray that it never rains when I'm driving lol. I really need to get out to a track soon, when you going next Jason?

Bitchin stuff Venom. Mike said your car is a beast. I can't wait to hear it.

As for the tires, the NT05R seems to be lasting 3-5K miles at most for a lot of people. I would assume the MT's will be the same due to the soft compound. The 555R's are a great street/track wheel that should suffice in rain as long as normal driving is maintained. However, the won't hook nearly as well as the MT's you purchased. It's a tough decision because it's either you get a tire that good or mediocre at street and track, or get a tire that's phenomenal at just one of them. I debated a long time with which tire I wanted, but decided on the 555R because the Camaro will primarily be driven on the street.

Either way, you definitely have a lot of power and will have a blast with that car.

so my buddy was installing the afterburners and cut the housing open and then we seal all the lights and mount them back on the car and screw everything together and finally turn on the lights and only 3 are working ! we were so pissed ! I hit up Jonathan at aac to send me a replacement asap so I hope its here before Friday. just sucks cause now we gotta reopen the housing and remove the defective led, and re do all the steps

On the bright side THEY LOOK SOOOOO ****ING BADASS ! also I can't wait for my sidemarkers to get here next week !

Yeah, the 555R comes in 275/40/20, and 305/35/20 (both run around $325-330 online). It's nice to haver he option to be able to have a DR that can be run on the streets every day without issue, and last 15,000 miles (according to Nitto). If this was just my track car, I would buy the NT05R and drive it very rarely so I'm not changing tires every 3,000 miles, lol.

Damn, that must have pissed you off. That's a lot of time consuming work. Post up pics when the new one comes in. That is going to look amazing!
