First as Chism said where ya located at??
Second, good place to look for cheap stuff is in the For Sale Section. Stuff is usualy on avg $50 less and more than what you'd find from the actual dealers.

And Lastly Welcome to the club.

welcome hellishold! show us your new toy.

As far as personalizing your ride, you should think wheels first. Biggest splash for the money. If you have a GT I assume you have at least some of a body kit.

thanks alot guys,

first, i live in NY

second, im really not worried about a body kit that much. as i love the look as it is. wheels, yea, good plan, but arent they 225/75R18's to begin with?

third, forsale section = heaven

and pictures, i will take care of then monday, so hang tight and pay attention.

and again, thanks for the warm welcome guys, looks like i dropped myself in a good community.

225/45 R18. You may have just mistyped.

I haven't found a source that's always the cheapest or that carries everything. You'll want to shop around and check the for sale section a lot.

yea, my bad, the for sales is going good though, the one on the 7club got a lil unreliable. i was ripped off and lost $1300 on a Tii motor when i did my motor swap, but thats all in the past.

as for those meets, where in jersey and when? im already a good 2 hours away, but ill make one no problem
