I appreciate the comment, but I searched all over for some rims to look nice.. I dont think you can go wrong with chrome. They sold me due to having a 4 inch lip on the rear.... I do need to lower it. Can you cut the factory springs? I have done some research and people say NOT to do it, and some say you can. Any ideas? Opinions?

Will do... Is there a particular place/company that sells them? I appreciate all the good and bad opinions/comments. The radio was given to me after the factory CD changer went south on me... Sounds great, better than my BMW all day. Even the factory sub sounds good after 17 years. Heres another pix...... Is there a good leather man around north Alabama? Anyone?

Yes it is a little bent. It was like that when I got it. I think the metal part behind it is also bent causing this one to look like that. Is there a way to correct it, without buying a new one? A simple fix? Also what exhaust upgrades does everyone recommend? I have heard deleting the front 2 cats, which I have done already, removing the 3rd one or center with a 10 inch x-pipe, and keeping the resonators, with Magnaflow exhausts. Any ideas?
