I've actually owned the car for a little over a year now but never posted up very many pics. Well yesterday, me and buddy of mine headed up to a local lake/resort to snap a few pics. I was using my Nikon Coolpix 5700 and he had his new Nikon D70....... D70

Please let us know what you think!

Nice! Those rear tires look too wide for the wheel though, how wide is the wheel?

P.S.: the photography rocks!

They are the "home made" converted '99-spec tails.

You're right, the rims are 17x7 with 225's up front and 265's out back. The rear tires are too wide for the rims but it has not been a problem in the 2k miles I've had them on. Some 18x9s or 18x10s are on the wishlist though.

What the tools? ...because the sub-enclosure, 10" sub, amp, and head unit weighed in at 18lbs all together. (Yes we weighed it, lol)(Sub box is fiberglass)

Oh, and I'll never drive my FD anywhere without taking the tools along, haha.
