Default finally took some pics...

took some pics of the car while i was in NC last month at a friends place. just missed the lighting i wanted so there are some shadows, and did not have a camera with adjustable f-stop, but they turned out ok. hope to get some better ones sometime this fall.







and the reason why i missed the light....enjoying this with a tasty beverage...

Nice shots, Ryan. Car is looking great.

Is that Wrightsville Beach area? I remember you mentioned Wilmington before. I was down on Pawleys Island (between Myrtle and Charleston) a couple of weeks ago ... good times.

yup - friend's house is on the inter-coastal. the tip of wrightsville is to the left of the jetty, which is straight ahead in the pic, past the island. Masonborough inlet is exactly what you are looking at.

very Nice my friend. I love everything about your car. Can't wait to see that small addition that imo will give it that much more distinction. Great pics and don't blame you for missing the lighting opportunity, that other view is just as gorgeous. Are you running spacers? If so what size?

Geezz, this car look familiar, minus the tints and maybe color. Is your car green or gray?

lol - must be the carson kit, eh? couldn't pass up that deal. cypress pearl is the color. it shifts from very green to grey/green depending on the lighting.

thanks Ron! much appreciated. all i have left is the processor, roof spoiler, and grill. then i'm done. i swear.
running 5mm spacers up front on 20x9 +20's and no spacers on the rear, 20x10.5 +25. rear fitment is perfect, though i do need to shave to eliminate all rubbing. need to roll my fronts also, but the rubbing is not all that bad all things considered.

your car looks great Ryan! What size tires did you end up running? Also did you run extended lug bolts to add that 5mm spacer?
