Finally stopped raining out here so gave her a wash and took some pics. Not as cool as the others, but has the limited edition vibration features!

Gotta say, with all the evidence of AWD owners having vibrations after lowering the car and wearing aftermarket wheels, I would leave it stock if I had AWD.

Do you even need an AWD in Nevada?

Nope. I'm an idiot and didn't really think too much about it. I didn't even want to mod this car - until I joined this forum. I just came here to look for recalls to take care of before my warranty expired...now I'm hooked

Tires: vredestein ultrac sessanta
Rear fenders cut - but not flush

They were originally all chrome, but I had them taken apart to brush the faces to the nickel finish and had to reseal them all as they were slowly leaking.

I need spacers in the front.

Wow . . . that is looking sweet. Super clean. Love what you did with the rims: the nickel finish on the mesh with the chrome lip. Nice work.

Didn't your vibrations just start? You've been dropped for a while now right?
