Congrats Winters your exhaust sounds great I think.
I would definitley install all new struts and shocks when
you can.The Tokico struts and shocks are a excellent choice
and I have been reading great reviews on them.

Bulldogwinters · 07-13-2011, 11:59 PM

Thank you blueovalman, my front shocks are stock, looks like the rears were already replaced.

Just got done plasti-dipping my wheels not sure how I feel about them yet

I'll get better pictures after work tomorrow

your wheels look like they need another cote or they weren't totally cleaned prior to spraying. i think they look good in black tho!

insidethreat07 · 07-14-2011, 10:51 AM

so i guess your not going to sell your wheels anymore then?

Ah, my bad. It's the exact opposite out west. It's a lucky day for me when I do see a hard top on the road.

She's coming along nicely, BW!

They need another coat, but I had to work at 5 in the morning and it was getting late on me pretty quick.

I may or may not, it depends on whether or not I get a second vehicle for the winters. if not then I'm putting snow tires on my 10 spokes. we'll see man. my income hasn't been as high as I was hoping for even with working 60 hour weeks.

That was my thoughts, and I LOVE how loud it is. And, one complaint I always heard was a bad drone on the highway.. but it was actually as quiet as stock when I went on the interstate yesterday so...

My .02, If you're upgrading your exhaust to be able to HEAR it.. go with the LM1.

Bulldogwinters · 07-15-2011, 10:49 PM

Here's a better pic of the wheels.. I've been too busy to get a couple good ones. plus every time I try it starts raining on me!!

LS1-Z28 · 07-15-2011, 10:58 PM

Wow

Those look so sexy! hahah

The black wheels contrasts the Pewter very well. I like 'em bro!

Now to get rid of the gender gap between the fender and wheel

I'm workin on it, I already have aftermarket shocks.. so I'm just gonna get some Strano springs

I might actually be getting a SLP Lid for cheap.. the ebay seller that I bought my exhaust from wants me to take my negative feedback off.. so I told em to give me a discount and I will
