Dave,
Looks like you may have some of the reflector strip bowing? ....Cue Roger & the toilet bolts...

Nice find - looks good! Glad you got the right transmission - welcome to the clan...

They are nice Borla tips.

Looks like the muffler shop couldn't figure out how to make them come out even using the bracket they fabricated, so the welded them in offset. Freakin' idiots.

Those are coming off this week, they look like ****. But the rest of the exhaust was very well done.

BTW what sizes didi you go with on the PS2's?

Stock 225/45R17 & 255/40R17 or larger?

Its easy to source PS2's in 235/45R17 & 275/40R17 with no fit issues - I'm running these very happily - probably can go wider too - though wider sizes on factory 9" 17's seem a bit limited.

Its fairly easy to loose traction with the 255's if you get on it too much...

I went with the stock sizes, 225/45 front and 255/40 on the rear. I wanted to keep the stock sizes on the stock wheels. I may switch out to some RH 18"x8" and 18"x11" wheels later on. I will keep the Cup wheels since they have the RDK sensors installed.

I like the PS2's so far. They are fairly quiet and have good grip, believe me, I have already tested them!!!

I have always had excellent experiences with Michelin tires.

I was thinking that myself but it seems like David just put a set of brand new PS2 on his stock GTS wheels.
