it makes him feel like he can still call it a street car if he keeps 2 stock wheels on it.
anybody ever notice the nitrogen tank he keeps in his trailer to fill the tires with?

I got the skinnies when the car was not going straight. I just left the rear stock ones since I already had ET Streets in 16inch. To get the Weld wheels for the back, they come in 15inch so I would have to get new tires as well and also grind the caliper so I opted just to leave the stock wheels on and save some money.

Team USA are all puerto ricans but because they live in florida and not in PR, that's the reason they're known as team USA.. Hope that makes sense

Ok ladies, I fixed all the pics...... They have been resized and all 890 have been added without editing so you might need to tilt your head to the side or maybe just put your screen on its side
not bad for my first attempt at a online gallery

I'm not sure, but last year I spoke to a fellow by the name of Raffy? who did the paint on sporty.. He said it took him 1 month from start to finish.. Sporty's paint job is very detailed, from far it looks like real CF
