Thanks guys I need ASAP so I can fix and ppost my pics.

james yeah i haven't even washed them yet so back off. JK but no I live in the sunshine state and during rainy season it rains damn near everyday plus i work at 2pm today but off tomorrow so I figured tomorrow I would devote to shining her up nice and pretty. Plus it is long over due. And I will make sure I shine my tires up just for you! Either that or I'll supply the shine and you can come over and wash her up. Kool with you. LOL Peace

Hyghgynx looks into his crystal ball and exclaims...

"Lowering Springs are your next purchase, are they not?" j/k

Looks solid bro. Will look even better lowered and slathered with some tire shine!

shouldn't have didn't drive it that far maybe around the block just to hear the intake thats it and oh yeah i drove to work but that was after remounting them... also ? for ya'll they came with a plastic ring looks kinda like a spacer or something for the back of the wheel where the center hub part is... I sure hope I was suppose to install them becuz I did and there was no instructions what so ever with any of this stuff so I had to wing it.
