These tires are great. They ride great and have a 90k mile warranty. I've never been one to get cheap tires. I'm a firm believer in you get what you pay for. I'd buy them again.


Thanks for all the compliments! Its been a labor of love, thats for sure. Just based on everything I've had to replace I think its safe to say that this car has had a bit of a rough life. Slowly but surely this car has come back around.

I really love how it mimics the look of the 2002 DE edition. If people didn't know better they would think it wasn't boosted, and then you'd surprise them

Looks great!

Thanks! The previous owner did that paint job. Eventually I will get the car repainted but I've yet to decide whether or not I'll go back to the original all black or leave it as is.

Oh I've surprised a couple of people with this car. Most people have no idea.

Very nice! I really like the black. I think I have you beat on what I've replaced so far on my 2004 Dale Jr. I've replaced:
Plugs
wires
pcv valve
fuel filter
cabin filter
air filter
intake manifold gasket
valve cover gaskets
MAF sensor
New Cooper tires
All 4 new replica wheels
both serpentine belts
thermostat
coolant flush
radiator cap
gas cap
pre-cat O2 sensor
Borla Cat-back exhaust system
Onstar digital upgrade
changed supercharger oil
changed tranny fluid + filter

I think I need brakes soon as I'm getting a noise when I apply the brakes but when they put on my tires they said that only one pad on the front was getting close. Most of the stuff done was maintainence stuff since the car was getting close to 100,000 miles. I used all AC-Delco parts except for the plug wires which I got Delphi. My original wires were made by Delphi.

Hopefully I'm done putting money into it for awhile. I just need to get the Onstar issue fixed and everything will be good.
