But 9-5s like these had me thinking my 9-5 needed some modding. In some way. As soon as possible.

Fast forward a bit and I put my racks back on and had some tint done.

But hey, an inch is an inch. It's at least not stock height anymore! haha

Sorry for these shit "updates" but I like whoring pictures of my car. I got the lowering springs on the rear after breaking out the torch. It needs to settle A LOT or else I'm breaking out the grinder. (I might break out the grinder anyway...) Also, the last pic previews things to come....

I say that all the time. On the bbs how about white centers, but gold looks dope doe

I thought about white, but the only thing is, it would have to be matched to the car because it's a weird off-white. Any other shade of white would look "off" to me.

So I haven't had my car in a month. I'm getting pissed. It just stopped charging one day, and I took it to the shop that replaced the alternator last year. They put a new one in it and it still won't charge. Now they say they have no idea what's wrong with it. Hoping I get it back soon so I can give it some more low!

In the mean time, I've been working on my wheels.

Must be hard for you to find parts for this. Enginewise there is a lot to find but cosmetics are rare. Nice ride though! My dad used to own one of these and the nightdash is totally awesome. Centerconsole keyslot is also a nice gimmick.

May I suggest an aero lip, skirts and rear valance?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks! It's actually got an Aero front lip on it, it's just painted black. I didn't want to have paint matched for it, so I just did it in satin black to match the body trim. It's a lot more noticable in person. I have the Aero skirts for it, just don't have them on yet.

I did a calculation. With 15mm adapters (Puts me at a 5et) the Style 5s should stick out two more inches then my current wheels. This should be fun.

Should be perfect! I swear I'll tear my style 5's down one of these days to get you a barrel lol

Hoping it will be. I'll probably need to get some camber arms to dial it all in.

And it's all good! Current deadline for the wheels in Water by the Bridge, so there's plenty of time.

Sweet we have the same date as a goal in mind lol. I may try to get a spot at Carl Casper if I get my wheels done earlier but we shall see.

That "sob story" 9-5 on the beginning of the page, is it on Insignia OPC 20'' wheels? (or Regal GS)

Yeah, I'm shooting for breaking some neck at WBTB. I'm Trying to get my bolts done this weekend so I can assemble one and test fit.

They are Insignia wheels, but I think they're 18". I love them.
