Bump for a new start! Looks sweet, I'm sure the money you saved on not going with the bbs package can get you a sick set of rims/tires.

Congrats on finally picking one up. That was my first mod too. I left the rear one on for the first week but the front went as soon as it was home. I've got my real ones now but I still don't want to mount the front one , so they still aren't on yet...
