What wheels? I know what you mean that it's almost a shame to do all this stuff to a 20k mi mint car!


...I said 'ALMOST'!


I personally don't care about the 63 look and diffuser but the spoiler looks soooo much better! JUST MAKE IT FASTER!


Good luck with it whatever you choose to do!

 

Don't worry I talked to Mr. Hawkins @ BI not only did he help me out big time! He's going to hook me up with some performance upgrades

 

Welcome and congrats bud. You will be mighty pleased with your switch. Torque for days.

 

He is having custom wheels made for the cream puff, and I had them come measure the specs off my car this past weekend.

 

I see Steak n Beer in your future Craig!!!! Different color combo than shown but same wheel #BRADA really nice guys

 

Pretty cool wheel...what does that weigh?

 

I ordered the stage 2 "race prep" Which is a wheel lightning process they offer. From Brada: Race Prep Lightening, a feature we offer in two stages that can save 1-1.5 lbs stage 1 or 2.5-3 lbs per wheel for stage 2. So, 19's will weigh between 20-22 pounds with stage 2, and 23-25 ish without any lightening (depending on the backpad/width).

 

What do they cost?

 

Guess it depends on size finish and options between 4-5k

 

sup baller

 

Gonna look gooooood. Why don't you fly up here and help me install all of the performance mods I'm going to get LMAO

 

Nice creampuff!

My 2004 only has 26K miles, I thought I was pretty low... but you have me beat.

Cheers!

 

26K is LOW too I did feel bad about modding this beast but I can't help it.. I literally have a pile of parts in my office to transform the exterior over the next week or so. Then I'm going to get Craig at Buckhead to send me all the goods for the motor. Should be done by April.

Not many low mileage 55's around! You and I have the responsibility of keeping them clean so there are nice examples left in another 20-30 years.
(says the guy who's tearing his apart)

 

This thing is going to be a street brawler at Timmayfest

 

You should be receiving goodies this week homey

 

Thanks! I'll be installing all the motor upgrades over the next week or so.

Lowering module just came in..



And Rims halves are ready and being put together at Brada!

 

Baws status

 

Got some goodies from Buckhead today! Thanks Craig



Lowering module went in last night! Never done one before and it took about 3 hours with help from a friend. Just need to find a good place to hide the cable and remote now.





Just some iphone pics for now... Once I get all the new exterior parts painted and installed with the Brada wheels mounted i'll get the SLR out

 

Your CF front spoiler ships tomorrow homes

 

Sick.... going to paint and body shop in a week

 

Did you try the lowest option?? Is it go low my dude

 

looks good. All C clips face towards the front of the car.

 

Ha Ha yes, but the rear goes way lower that the front does it seems.

Thanks! all install tips welcome

 

We support this build thread. So excited!!!

 

I'll have to make a separate thread for the wheels once I get them mounted!
