I only joined this site a few weeks ago and I am already addicted. I am installing 2.5 front and 2.25 rear RoadBully and putting 265's on in the next 3-4 weeks. I will post some before and after pictures.

NEGRETE- Could you provide more details on mods or was that intercooler a fake one that's really a CAI thing?

Stanger67- Looking good!!! I think you need 2 more lights on top though

Anyone know where to get some XLS wheels?

Gonzmexican, I think you just finally convinced me that if I get the chance, I will do the black headlights, black billet grill and possibly send my rims out for black powder coating!!! You ex looks awesome!!! Keep at it

Also, if you can loose the roof rack, that'd be a plus
