Looking good but maybe some new new upgrade, like supercharged, AIR, and maybe some BBK's your ride will be hella sick like someone I know in FL :**p...

lol at 'pimp sauce' - call me irresposible, but i ride at the same height year round. when there's inches and inches of snow on the street though, i don't drive... but here in NJ they keep the roads pretty good after a snow and are usually clear within a few hours

And I guess the biggest question I got was, what wheels are these via PM's... well stupid me sold my stockers, and when winter came around my tires were pretty much brand new - so I had a choice of buying brand new tires & wheels, or just new wheels - so I found these wheels darn cheap (on blow out) at discounttire.com

they are Private Reserve 19x8 +30 (i'm using a 10mm spacer so I'm +20) & 19x9.5 +25 - excellent fit.

I think you can still get em as there's still some left, hella cheap, under $150 ea

Once again, thanks for all the comments. CL FTW
