  • The Grimace

    Well just over a year ago I picked up a 2005 Black Cherry Mica NB with the LS package. Its an absolute blast to drive. I don't think anyone really understands how much fun they are until they drive one . Ive finally gotten around to buying some much needed new toys for it

    Wheels
    Schmidt Modern Line
    16x9 +15

    I should be getting most of my parts this week. I received my Coils yesterday, but everything else should be here soon, as Im impatiently waiting. This weekend the fenders are getting rolled and the coils are going on. If the Schmidts come in time Ill get the tires mounted and hopefully be rolling on the new kicks late sunday .


    Heres some pics to hold you guys over for now...Enjoy!

    I Picked the car up from getting the fenders rolled and Installed my coils Sunday. Heres how the car sits now.

    So I emailed Tunershop asking why my wheels haven't shipped yet and got a reply that one of my Schmidt's were damaged during transit! So its a waiting game until they receive my new one and can ship them out to me. Once I get them then I can dial in the ride height and stance

                Yea I am on CR under the same username. I have a build thread going there too. As for coils I went with Megan EZ streets and they seem great so far. They seem to go damn low and have good dampening settings

                    Just a iPhone pic teaser. I need to trim the fender liners and lower the front along with a bit more camber tomorrow.

                      I like it! I actually scrolled up to check the wheel size, because they appear larger than 16". It's a refreshing look for sure.

                              Im hoping I can get an alignment tomorrow. I need more negative camber because the car is a rubbapoloza right now
