Car stereo stuff is easy. I can tell you for sure I am NOT going to help on a remote entry or start install...those hardly ever turn out good....

Good luck with the body kit too...I dont know of anyone on here that's done body work, save for POR-15..

green one was 18's white one was 20's.The fit was non existent.I had to cut the fiberglass and remold it.Duraflex would be a much better option.Install not too bad,but is time consuming you wanna get it right the first time Smile

If your not concerned about speed I'd say go for it.They do weigh alot when you factor in the rim and the tire.Although they do look nice and get alot of compliments Smile

Concerned with speed?? I have an SE with a 3.1L if that answers that question. You'll be seeing me in all your mirrors if you can see me at all.

ahhh we'll if you dont plan on a major swap anytime soon go for it that or 19's are a good alternative.Although I have seen quite a few GP"s with 18's that look very nice.So it's up to your like and dislikes

i think I'm gunna go for the 20's... shit... it IS mine, lol, i love that, it's so true. The swap is actually postponed to december at the earliest, some recent events have taken priority, i just replaced a hub, i need tires, and i rearended a jeep, so i'm lookin at the body kit to clean up my bumper damage, and a ram air (f1) hood to take care of the nice dent i put in it. which then leads to the ram air intake, am i right??? i mean, if it has to be fixed or replaced, it might as well be upgraded

Getting back on topic... if we come up with a date and location for a mod day, I will show up for moral support, simple assistance, and picture taking.

Looking at the first weekend of August to move into the house... which means I won't have concrete poured anytime soon... so if you guys want to work on gravel... my place is an option.

Like I offered before, if you guys don't mind working in a parking lot, we can do it at my office....there would be a bathroom, vending machines, AC for those who don't like being in the sun for to long.

Just an option.
