saleen rims finally on
 
well, my pop just can't wait til saturday to put his new wheels on. the plan was on saturday when i'm not working, him and me suppose to go to tire shop and mount it on my monte carlo first to see how they look. well, i guess the plan change now looks like i have to wait who knows how long. i don't feel like switching any tires now on saturday. i guess i'll just stick with my bullitts for now. i took some quick pictures last nite, yeah i know the car needs to be lower. i talked to him about lowering it and he finally agreed after about 3 years later. the tires are Nexen N3000 255/45/18

:rolleyes: `Ryan, Saleen Rims look great on Pop's Ride, and I also think it will look a lot better when it's lowered.
Great Pic's, thanks for sharing.

ChibiBlackSheep 04-16-2009 08:29 AM

sexy car.

if that isn't already lowered, i don't think it needs to be at all!

Very Very nice GTP. I've always had a thing for 'em.

AwesomeSS 04-16-2009 10:12 PM

Very cool, they look great on the GP. The center caps are real trick! BTW is that the SLP cat back exhaust on it? If it is, how does you/your dad like that system? I am thinking about getting that system for my Monte.

Five's are the way to go! Absolutly love it! If you do decide to lower it dont do it to much looks clean as is :)

I think the stance looks right just the way it is.

Sexy looking car too!

the car is going to be lower for sure with ssc springs like my monte. i'm going to have to take day time pic and you'll see why it need to be lower. lower it will even make the stance better. yes that's slp catback. my pop likes it. it's not as loud as mine, lol. it gives a nice rumble sound to it. the gp have the same setup my monte btw when the video was shot. it's little louder cause of the xp cam. awesomess there's a fair muffler shop in lagrange that been doing custom exhaust for the gp and other wide bodies local club awhile now. i heard they good. if you interest going that route i can give you their info.

did you build this one up like your monte to? but the rims definately look great

Enzo354 04-17-2009 05:55 AM

Mabye someone, somewhere, owns only fords with only GM rims :D

That's the SLP cat-back in the video? Sounds great.

I hate the sound of the stock exhaust on my supercharged 2004, and was trying to figure out which exhaust I like best. I want a beefier sound than stock, but I don't want to rattle people's windows too much either. I work night shift. And people wouldn't appreciate me waking up entire neighbourhoods as I drive to work late at night.

The SLP exhaust sounds about right.

BTW...
I noticed you were "rockin out" to Stevie Wonder in the video. Was that a comment on the exhaust? "You can feel it all o-o-o-ver..." :D

ChibiBlackSheep 04-17-2009 08:04 AM

more and more I wanna get a good set of thick red spark wires...

rj 04-17-2009 10:43 AM

Nice!!! :)

AwesomeSS 04-17-2009 07:47 PM

Thanks Silverbullit! It sounds real good. I think it will be louder than the Dynomax that I have on my 03. I probably will order it next month - maybe sooner if I get a permanent job. I want to stick with the SLP theme LOL - I already bought a chrome badge to put on the back after the exhaust is on.
