Got the exhaust redid and put some 17 tt 2 on it. Looks ok but needs to be dropped down some.

I will be making another video with the new mufflers shortly.

Upgraded to some more meat in the rear. 245/45/17 in the rear now.

MMMM Sounds so good 🙂 Mufflers are 1 chamber mufflers. They are extremely loud, vibrate, and shake everything.

Looks good, my bumpers used to look like your front then I hit them with some Flitz polish and the finish was like looking into a mirror. My girl swore that I bought new bumbers do to them looking brand new.

Not a big fan of orange, but it looks great on your Regal. Nice work.

Thanks. The color took me 2 years to decide. Wanted something that would catch the eye but not be overwhelming.

It worked IMO. Anaconda Green actually works on a new Viper but I don't know that works on a gbody. Some try to accomplish that with yellow. I have never found a yellow car that could not look better in another color. I think if and when you finish out the accents and trim with black it will look even more complete.

Sounds cool!

What wheel width and backspace did you end up using front and rear? You think you could stuff any more tire in the back?

I'm thinking about doing 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back on mine, just researching still.

The front are 17x8 and the rear are 17x9. I am not sure of the backspacing. I can stuff some more meat back there. I am thinking if I did I would probably have to run a small 10mm spacer though.
