Default finally... the lex gets new shoes! (56k headache ahead)

well guys and girls, it finally happened. my sc finally got new wheels and tires. it's been a long time in the works, but when i go to spend a lot of money i make sure 5000 times over that i'm spending my money on the right thing. our good buddy brandon helped out with the purchase, so i'd like to thank him for all he did for me. well enough talk, on to the pictures!

i took a few today at a couple different places. the first few are on top of a parking garage on city island (an island in the middle of the susquehanna river... has a baseball stadium, volleyball, mini golf, etc). the next few are down on the island where you can see harrisburg in the back drop and a few of the bridges going over the river. lastly, i went up to a park overlooking the susquehanna river and harrisburg to take a few pictures (this was my favorite location by far). the view is beautiful up there!

the setup: 18x8.5 kazera kz-a front, 18x9.5 kazera kz-a rear with 235/40 fuzions front and 265/35 fuzions out rear

wheels look good- I've been dropped so long, that I didnt remember that stock SC's have that much wheel gap! drop that bad boy, and your looking GREAT!

(but minus the drop- the car still looks very nice and sporty!)

i KNEW people would be howling for a drop

don't worry fellas... its coming. with college bills i just can't do 40 things at once, has to be one step at a time. i'm planning on a spring drop when the wheels go back on after the snow stops.

Ah, don't say the sn** word, it's a curse.

Car is looking good though, a drop will complete it. BTW I like your exhaust, what are you running?

haha... as much as you may not like the sn word, i love it! snowboarding is as much a passion of mine as my car. as far as the exhaust, i'm running a 2.5'' magnaflow Y pipe with custom 2.5'' pipes heading back to dual magnaflow mufflers (the infamous 14829 w/ the 4'' tips). you can find a sound clip of my car on my website by clicking here.

Good choice. The 5 spoke design is definitely clean.
