Your GX Rules!!

Questions:
How hard was it to install the CarID grille?
What width are those wheels and what is the name of them (other than Dub) and do you have any rubbing of an sort? What is the profile of the tires?

The grill installation was rather rough going, the main grill is an insert into the factory frame and it was to big so I had to cut it and the lower parts bolt directly in and I had to use a grinder to form the mesh so it would not scratch the paint while installing them and they have 4 studs that I was supposed to use a washer and nut to hold it from the back but 2 studs on each insert were not long enough to get the nut on so I had to grind some plastic down on the GX.
Wheels are 9 wide and my shop insisted I keep the same specs so the TOYO Proxes 265/40VR22 keep the same circumference with no rubbing http://www.carid.com/dub-wheels/x-58...sh-816934.html

Cool

I'm digging your quad tip exhaust set up! is your spare tire still mounted on the under carriage? Can you post up pics of your under carriage on how the custom exhaust piping was routed? Clean ride

You never answered the question about your spare? You can't get the spare up there anymore?

No I have no spare and I plan on getting a revaluation to get it back. My link shows the answer to your question.

How is your exhaust note? Did the big wheels help your handling? I bet it's great now.

I have a nice rumble now and I didn't drive it much before having the wheels put on so I cant say how much it changed the handling.

The grill looks very nice, and the exhaust also. Gives it a meaner look. Very stylish.

Not digging the wheels though, sorry.

Exhaust looks great, I too wish that was a standard feature on the car! All that chrome trim around the headlights and the grill are too much for me - just don't look like they integrate perfectly with the car lines and definitely have an add-on/bolt-on feel but that is nearly inevitable with customization. Nonetheless, that is only my individual opinion. Hope you are enjoying your ride!
