Video of my exhaust mod & pictures of my new wheels!
I recently got my secondary cats and resonators removed, also I got an x-pipe put in place of the resonator. I'm loving the sound, while revving the tone is smooth and tame but under load it has a classy subtle rumble. Its not loud but you can clearly hear the exhaust note. I want to thank MJ50 and Benzoboi for their help.

Also I got some new wheels, thanks to Mike from One Autosport.

Jun, glad I could help 
The wheels look great on your car! Shaun is correct though, they are facing the wrong wag. Swap the wheels from side to side. Make sure the fronts are facing the correct way as well. On the sidewall there should be an arrow showing you which direction the wheel should turn.
Now time to lower this bad boy!

Man, I love those wheels, and the exhaust sounds great. But agree with others, that car needs to be lowered. The Forgestars look absolutely perfect on a lowered car.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Another pic just for kicks!
As far as lowering, I remember reading that alignment is an issue after lowering and I would need some crash bolts? Is this necessary? I think I'm going with lowering-links instead or star.

You don't need anything else, just the links and that's it.

Update: Lowered the car via spacer/bending method .80 all around. I'll eventually get lowering links since i wanna go lower but gonna get the diffuser and front lip first.
