Default Paging Mike ! ! !

So I was looking out the window at work when a 2006 Crystal White GS slammed on Work wheels pulls up...I say "WoW" looked so sick!! Tell my co worker a friend of mine has the same car with the same wheels. A while later I browse thru the GS forums on CL and see the same car with a new "check out my wheels thread" and I'm like WTF those are Mike's wheels I'm crushed!
Hope everything is well buddy....Eric

I got a really good deal to "try" to boost my car. It may not work but I only need a fuel pump to complete it. Right now I want to test fit and install it with out the belt to make sure I can fit everything under the hood.

Rims I have no clue what to get....I have so much going on that I wonder if I will even have rims before winter I will be driving her car more often in the summer I guess for now.

How has work and things been for you?

^^^^^^ Things have been going really well @ work. My boss says i'm a natural coolest thing Mike he let's me order/build our allocations in whatever color/trim I think will sell things are headed in a great direction for me over there. I'm having my wheel fixed this week @ a shop out in Highland Park that has fixed Work wheels in the past & I'm having the airbrush touch up Gytis did last summer painted in 3 weeks. Car seems to have more power than last summer maybe it's finally broken in (only 6k) and the coils have really settled now....I barely cleared the floor beams at Jiffy lube when I did the oil change!

Thanks Brian...I'm thinking of getting the matching CB roof spoiler to even it out...not sure if it will make the car look ricey....not trying to go overboard on outside mods.

That CF rear wing roof spoiler would look great on your pearl finish and having the carbon fiber weave (black contrast).

Eric has one bad @ss F!

The member that purchased my rims let me borrow his OEM for a few months. He made a visit to Dr Gytis to have his fenders shaved

Another baby? There goes the modding budget down the drain

^ not much left to do with the GS at this point. I need to find rims regardless I just may not spend what I was planning with a baby on the way and trying to move. Right now I am torn between the Zone 10's, they are not cheap at all, or the New Vossen CV1 Concave for close to half the price. I will take a pic of the car with the 5 star OEM rims that I borrowed. I really like how the car looks right now. I need to have my camber corrected first so I can see what size rims to order with my camber back to positive. I'm close to just finding these OEM rims and calling it a day for this year and wait.
