Here's a couple of better pics. Looks like i'm gonna need to hit the quarter panel a few more times, got just a slight rubbing.

Doesn't seem to be any now. It had 235/50 before that would rub bad when turning and hitting a bump at the same time-like pulling out of my driveway. But now that I put on 225/50, it doesn't seem to be hitting. I expected it to be better but not eliminate it all. Although I have been kinda easy on it.

This is more of a set back and fix rather than a step forward. After taking it out for a few drives, the fuel pump decided to go out. I ended up picking up another used one, but since there may be more upgrades in power down the road, along with a possible venture into e85, I went ahead and decided to upgrade parts of the fuel system. I put in a 16 gallon fuel cell to feed the new(to me) pump, and 1/2" aluminum fuel line. Not all of the line is installed yet, was running out of time, so from the pump forward it's still 3/8". Here's a couple pics, pay no attention to the rust, or exhaust, or wiring, or etc. Lol.

Haha, thanks man, much appreciated! They should have cost 1200 shipped, but I really only wanted 17's on the back instead of the 18's so they worked with me. I kinda regret to say it but, I think the time for satin black has passed, but only time will tell for sure.

I'm glad you like it, I do to, but i guess i'm getting a little bored. I figure flat black rims and paint were a good match but now that I have black chrome rims, I should get some shinny paint too.
