    Also, might I suggest Yokohama S-Drive's for tires when you do drop down to that size. That's exactly the size I'm running on the vette wheels on the front of my car and I absolutely adore them.

    They're cheap, too.

    Keep it up!
    Thanks, I try to keep it in good shape and pay attention to the small stuff. it's the details that make a good car excellent.

    I do like the mudflaps for winter mode, but I'm excited to take them off. It's time for smaller tires, already!

    As for the tires, I'll probably stick with Falken 512s, since I've used them before, I liked my experience, and they run narrower than S-Drives. I've heard the S-Drives are no bueno in the wet.

    Thanks for the kindness!!!

    UPDATE:
    Finished the pre-cleaning today and removed the rest of the red pinstriping.

    • I should add that it took nearly two hours to take the damn pinstripe off the grille.

          All STs came with a color-matched ring and silver mesh.

          • Got a good-ish pic of the car the other day. it is as low as possible right now. If you can't tell, it is tucking HARD. The thing is not at all near a height that I'm happy with, and I can barely park it... Smaller tires will be the next purchase.

                            Thanks! I've been thinking about de-badge, but I'm not sure what I want to do. I'm thinking about getting rid of all of them, but putting a euro ST badge in the location of the stock one.

                            The tires showed up early, today.

                            Yup, the car looks horrible. The plan was to lower it on Friday, but it can't wait that long. The wheel gap makes me want to kill myself and the S***TY OFFSET makes me want to take someone with me. I may move spacers up my list of priorities. Current GTFs are 22.5" front, 22.75" rear. The car will come down a full inch to make it tuck some tire again. There's about .5" of wheel gap in the front and .75" out back.
