Default Got my CCW Classics on, but...

my nightmare continues. As I stated a few weeks ago in my other thread, I had to send the front wheels back to have the proper faces bolted on(they didn't clear my brake calipers). So, I get them back and throw everything together. I leave her overnight at my dealer and returned this morning only to discover the left front rim/tire is flat. I was like, WTF??!! I had to dismount the tire and remount it. After that, my tech Mike and I can still hear the air hissing out. So we dunked the tire and found air leaking from 4 of the bolts. These are the same bolts that hold the face to the barrel. Well, long story short, I have to send it back for them to get it right again. I guess I can't be mad anymore...just not worth it. C'est La Vie

I did, however, snap some shots of the "good" side...keep in mind folks, I still have to shave the rear fenders, add a 3mm spacer in the rear, and slam it more
Also switched to 285's in the rear...although I think 295's will be perfect next time...LoL
Enjoy!!


Sorry, these are shot from my weak point-&-shoot Canon....

Damn... looks great and extremely clean! Sorry you've had so much trouble but the end result looks to be and probably will be worth it. I hate when things like this keep going wrong. Also, I really like the 92-96 spoiler with the 97+ body.

That's a stub antenna that came with the car...no idea who makes it or how it's suppose to mount. I don't mind it, because it's a thousand times better than the light-saber oem one...LoL

I will also be getting new headlamps and foglamps...they're a bit dull and the passenger side headlamp has condensation inside

Also, the rear rotors have a lot of surface rust. I'll also be throwing new rear rotors and pads on for good measure. It's only money right??? LoL

Thanks for the kind words guys

Nice. John recommended 295 for the rear so thats what I am going with. I will be taking a road trip to Daytona on Friday to pick mine up. BTW what offsets did you go with?

John did not provide me the offsets...however, the offsets are conservative...I'm guessing between a 35-38 offset. I didn't know what to expect since I haven't yest laid my hands on them. Now that I have, I'll be able to run a 295 in the future with a spacer and fender shaving. I don't want to pull my fenders. I don't want all of that hassle...

What finish did you go with??
