[PICS] How my night ended Part III

So I've thrown up a few pictures in the past of some of my on going mod's, but tonight was the first time I was able to take some pictures with something other than an iPhone. Now that the wheels are on I thought it was a good time to show her to the world. I'm only two months into ownership, but having fun already. I must say I love that I can do all the "show" modifications because the car already has GO, but next big items will be a trip down to CO Springs to visit Kleemann. Enough chat, here are some of my pics.

Can never go wrong with Monarchs R63's, they look phenomenal. That said, I originally thought I wanted black, and well I still have that itch, thus I'll probably switch.

Diffuser - I do, a CF. That was "How my night ended Part II" . I took pic's of the rear and they are in this album, but the quality was poo as I was shooting into the sunset.

Thanks man! Though not as nice as yours, and I do mean that. Sorted out the rear spacing, and rub. As it turns out I don't need any spacers in the rear. Just threw some K&N's in as well, wow it feels nice.

Damb. Those wheels are sharp. Good luck with your visit to Kleeman, I've heard nothing but good things about Cory.

Links. And btw I'm near the top end of the links, I was holding off on going lower till i get the 20's all settled. Now I need to do some minor tweaking.

Not on the rear, but I had to on the front.

Love it. Just beautiful. Those wheels would look great on my Pewter SL. I have looked at them, just never pulled the trigger.
