Wow. Just... wow. Big pat on the back for you, Ryan. To be honest, I (like most people here) am brooding with jealousy right now. Car is great. Build up threads are the best! Congrats.

I will let you know. Just made a 8am appointment tomorrow morning to set it up. After it gets done, will post some numbers. Granted some of my other cars are getting 500-2500 mile per tire and each tire cost 650$/per tire, the LS seems like a cheap beater

After the alignment tomorrow, thurs-fri car will get new brakes and full TB/waterpump/plugs/wires/hoodstruts/filter change. Then good as new

Hit Mike up for his billet grill - he was going to sell it at one time.
Trenz used to make one. They were bought and the new owner discontinued it. Maybe Luis at Carson can still source the JDM billet grille now. He tried to get me one however the supplier never confirmed the order. Maybe a Fabulous?
Definitely will meet up with you at Gooses Acres if you are around sept/oct. Will ask Mike if he wants to sell the grille, not sure. Thanks for the info.

My friend bought one of the GTS I had for sale. He will probably drive it for a year and sell it back, he gets bored easily, like me.

Thanks for the kind words.

Its got a V8 rumble at low rpm, thats about it.

I used a blade to cut it, and then smoothed the part out with sand paper gently. No paint was needed (not sure where one would paint). I can take specific pics if you like.
COOL! and it sounds nice!
Could you take some pic on the work you done on the cut out?

Sorry, the close up pic of your bumper cut out. I really like to see how smooth the cut can be around the exhaust tips.
Yours looks very clean.

I welded mine on too, but I was wondering if I can do a quadexhaust tip setup.
