The wheels look good Robert, but the black HRE's you had are still my favorite. When you get tired of these and go back to the Carlssons let me know, I'll take them off your hands.

I do have to agree with everyone else . . . Love the new wheels although the Carlsson's looked a little better IMO.

Factory SL55 mufflers. Hope the right one will clear the spare tire tub.

I have the car @ the perfect height so it won't scrape.

With a splitter?!

Mine scrapes the driveway every time, and it’s not even low.
Kinda surprised you’ve never mentioned, 'it needs a drop!'



Did you get the SL55 exhaust to work? That would be very cool.

btw, the GMC drives over curbs and parking partitions…it has never bottomed.

It's actually a LOT smaller. Here it is next to a sz 9.5 shoe:



it may fit your coupe!

Car looks great but why not lower the front a little more to balance the back?
