Finally, new pictures of my 97GT

JiMi_DRiX · Dec 9, 2010

I FINALLY, after about three or so months, and nine months since I originally got the wrong tires/wheels... have the right ones and they are back on the car!! I also since bought an extra set of tail light bezels and painted them satin black.

I gave the car a quick wash and wax and snapped a few pictures. Hopefully I can find some time in this beautiful December weather to take some professional looking shots soon.

Staggered 9in and 10in American Racing Torq Thrust M's, BFG KDW Tires. 275/35/18's in the front, 295/35/18's in the rear. Eibach Pro springs and shocks. Just over 35k miles

The new rear wheels/tires fit SO much better than the previous ones. The old rears are now on the front, and the rears are now 18x10.

295s are perfect!

The headlights look extra blue for some reason..

I still need a black wheel!

Thanks for checkin it out

Looks real good.

Thanks. and before someone says it, I cant lower the front anymore, not for a daily driver anyway. I know it'd look better if it sat lower in the front, but its just not practical for me!

I had actually found one complete on ebay with the base and cruise switches, for not much more than a stock black one. BUT, the base was also charcoal, and I need a black one... It would be cool though. I also want the longer reaching chrome Roush shifter arm with white ball, but both of those items are ridiculously expensive! But they would make the interior look very nice.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying. All FR500 wheels are closer to charcoal however I don't think they're quite charcoal because Ford wanted it to match in all of them. Are you talking about the rest of the wheel? You can always dye those parts.

Sorry, its been a long day, my brain is tired. lol. Yeah, I'm talking about the base of the wheel that is typically not part of buying the FR500 wheel. I dont mind if the wheel itself is charcoal, but the mounting base needs to be black. Sure, I could dye it, but I'd rather not dye anything that I dont have to. I dyed my dash because its a pain to remove, and my console because they didnt have a black 03/04. but otherwise, I've swapped everything else. I'm picky. lol

Only one thing im not too fond of is the carpet on the dash. Other than that, its a sick ride bro!

CompOrangeSN95 · Dec 10, 2010

^+1 Love the car minus the dash carpet

JiMi_DRiX · Dec 10, 2010

haha, I live in AZ, Its 120+ in cars during the summer, and the reflection of the shiny dash on the windshield is also terrible! Its just laying on top, I didnt velcro it down. I'll pull it before I take pictures next time to make all you weirdos happy, lol.

Looking good man!

Thanks bro. What we've all been waiting for. And to me, it was worth it. Car looks very nice! The wheels look proper now! Are you a fellow Detail Technician? Car looks pristine down to the tailpipes. Good work!
