Is it the VIS AMS? If it is, I'd definitely get that hood! It looks so good! I've been looking at that hood and the z force from MPD as well. I'd definitely do painted though.

Looking at replacing rims and tires for a new setup. Getting rid of my RS/Pzero's. I know I either want Nitto Invo, M/T Street Comp, or Michelin Pilot SS.
Should I go with a 20x9 and 20x10 setup OR a 20x10 and 20x11 setup OR 20x10 on all four corners setup?

I have 20x9 front and 20x10 rear. I def wouldn't go wider unless you need the traction (fi set up) but I'm running just fine.
What is your goal? Just for looks or for performance? If performance more autox or drag? I ran a 305 nitto 555 tire in the back but man it didn't last long granted it did several burnouts AND it was my daily tire. Amazing grip though. I'm gonna step back from drag racing and try to get more involved with autox. So I need to go to a little bit more narrow tire. I'm looking into the michelin pilot tires. I'd go for 20x9 on all corners which would allow tore rotation. Or go with a similar wheel set up as mine. Sent from my SAMSUNG Galaxy S III using telekinesis.

I eventually either plan to get the RX roots s/c or upgrade to a SS so whatever tire/rim setup I get will go with me if I do upgrade.
My goal is performance and looks. I want something that looks mean and really is too. I've only done drag so far and really love it, but I eventually want to try autox. Cool! What is your best run Baylor? I haven't been keeping up with your build as well lately. I am not worried about tire rotation. I've just gotta pick the right rims first. So many choices.

Sounds good.
My best run is 13.0 but that was a while ago. I havent been to the strip in a long time. I've gotten kind of bored with straight line racing. Looking to do more autocross. Sent from my SAMSUNG Galaxy S III using telekinesis.

I have PFADT lowering springs, sway bars, end links, rear trailing arms and bushings. It's all in my sig
 About to buy some pilot super sport rear tires in the next day or so. Still need to tweak my tune though, especially now that I changed the filter orientation and intercooler set up. Sent from my SAMSUNG Galaxy S III using telekinesis.

Just an update if anyone was curious my gas mileage is at 19.6-20.1 mpg city so the ECU seems to have compensated a bit. I really can't believe the difference in power, I must have lost power with the previous tune and only felt the firmer shift points. Driving in D was no fun at all and S felt like D before my tune but with better shifts. Now it's just perma-grin driving 24/7.
Also, to not change topics completely, SS sway bars don't offer any improvement to the V6, what about SS springs? And what rear sway bars would you guys recommend?

If you're not going to be doing the zl1 rear sway bar configuration, any reputable companies sway bar should be good. I know the pedders, pfadt, hotchkis, and bmr sway bars are all really good.
