haha keep in mind the front intrax with 1/2 coil cut out, are still in the process of setting in, the car should drop down a bit more once they settle in.. :evlgrn:

1/2 coil cut and it still sits up higher then mine on uncut intrax? :shrug:

As I look at all your cars, I just think that the slicers are the one case where the factory got it right from the get go. But I'm an old fart, too, so what do I know?

I have 225/45/17s on there, VERY low profile comparedto what it should have.. They are also about 300 miles old... With a set of slicers on there, and regular sized 16s, or 17s for that matter, it wouldlook a LOT lower..

You're tires have a 24.97" diameter while the stock is ~26.16, although mine are slicks right now, so I'm at 25.8. There isn't enough there to explain that gap! :p

I'm going to agree here too.... although I have seen some very nice rim setups on these cars, I think the slicers look real good on the SHO.

Count one more in agreement...I really like the slicers. I'd never replace 'em with aftermarket rims, even if they were free. But some guys have to in order to run the bigger brakes, depending on the brake upgrade, so they need 17" rims. Others do it because there are aftermarket rims that are lighter than the slicers.

bigger rims, lighter rims, wider rims to get wider tires. They look nci but there are aftermarket that look niceer IMO. But I get to have slicers for 4 months out of the year (winter rims):thumb:

Its still in the works, but this was a 3piece lip kit off of another vehicle, modded to fit the front of the SHO.. :shrug: Not sure if I'm happy with it, but its different, in the meantime.. Doesn't help that the tires are a bit too small for the car.. (225/45/17) :doh:

Wow, I'm really digging the lip! :thumb: What car did you get it off of / what type of modifying did you have to do to get it to fit?

I would also like to paint my rims gunmetal and my letter fill ins black, I really like the way superHO's sho looks, wouldn't mind going that route but I have a feeling it would take me forever to paint and I would screw it up.

You mean like these?

too easy.....flat black spray paint. If you get it on the tires, it just makes em look better. Best part is, if they chip, it costs $.97 a can at Wal Mart to redo em!!!! :laugh_ti:


And no, I'm not lying. We use so much rattlecan around this house that there's a big ******** in the Ozone layer right above us....

who needs fill ins? Just use Testor's Model Enamel in the jar with a small brush and a steady hand.

change the chrome for these after bumper and paint add the CF Cowl hood and that should just about take care of the aggresive looking front
