Gonna look sick!
Car is being dropped off on the 24th for the trunk to be painted 
I f'n love my body guy. Takes great care of me. Is having me come in on a Saturday morning to make sure the car doesn't have to sit outside at all, will be driven right into the shop to be worked on first thing on Monday and be picked up either Monday night or Tuesday~ Not to mention, he was literally HALF of what a local shop (HEPPNERS) quoted me...

Getting them in in the brushed titanium finish from B2autodesigns. Specs:
F: 20x9 +25
R: 20x10 +35
Gonna wrap them in Yoko S.drives I think. Going with 245/35 up front and 275/30 in the back. I spent a lot of time investigating offsets / width combos for the sedans so I think it should look perfect. Should be here in 6-8 weeks!!!!

Thinking of ordering the motordyne XYZ straight pipe or some new slotted/ drilled rotors and some pads today.... I definately know the brake upgrade will look good with the rims and caliper powder coating

The rims really killed my budget so I decided I will just rework my current exhaust set-up. Since I have not done any major engine mods I prefer the single exhaust over the true dual since that's what the current engine setup is designed for. I ordered some oem cats to replace my berk HFC's and I will switch out the y pipe with the Motordyne xyz pipe and leave the rest of the Ark exhaust depending on if their is damage to the mid pipe. I think there may be I hit the speed bump one night last year in my subdivision pretty hard and I think it hit the mid pipe.

Did you receive them yet?I think taking the HFC off will definitely help. I have been seriously contemplating putting my OEM cats back on it to quiet mine down a little and get rid of the rasp. I love how loud it is 99% of the time but the rasp just doesn't appeal to me. I just don't want to lose the power :/
I would think you could just get a section fixed in the mid if that's what happened. Shouldn't be too bad? You should get the XYZ asap and let me know how it is lol. I am curious if that would help my rasp issue which I sure it would. I just can't justify spending as much for the y pipe as i did for the y back.
Pics of my detailing "mod" that came in yesterday. Not quite as substantial as Dan's pile but it will do the job for a while.

Once I get the car up in the air I will check out the damage.. actually gonna have the OEM cats put on and check it then to see if there is any damage.
Actually thinking of just getting a nice indash multimedia unit instead of the XYZ so that I will have my tunes right for the long ride in May. I want to do something custom in my trunk
I am getting the wheels by May 1 with an extra air ship charge to make sure i have them for NC and MIA.... just debating if I want V12's again.

This warm weather made me ambitious and I simply could not wait for the potential suspension installation day haha. So I just installed Z/G springs and clear corners. Pictures coming after I give it a quick wash this afternoon.

Did you not like the V12's? What else are you considering?
It better stay like this, that's all I have to say.
Car looks awesome Mike!
