Nice!!!!!!!! I really need a set of those myself. Please get tires this time before it's too late.
Oh and we'll have to get together for a shoot some time.

Didn't you get Bilstiens not too long ago?
I can only do coil overs in the front because of the D specs but I will eventually get MM adjustable lower control arms to adjust ride height at all four corners.

I have bilsteins in the back, but still using some hydraulic struts in the front. My front suspension is all out of wack, needs a pretty heavy duty alignment and possible new tie-rods and I really want to get rid of this awful steering rack. There is about $1500 in suspension parts I have been jacking it to for a few months now and would really like to find a job so I can indulge.

Haha, when it was mounted on the GT he mounted it flush with the front, so both edges of the chin spoiler were about 1/4" from the edge of the bumper. It warped over time and wouldn't match up with the holes I had drilled from mine. So I lined it up flush with one edge (oops) and re-drilled the holes. It's flush on the passenger side, about 1/2" gap on driver's. I'm going to paint the little air deflector ***** under the bumper black so it's not the noticeable.

Completely black wheels look like dick-cheese.
DICK-CHEESE.
Don't forget about the $250 speakers and $100 seatbelt.
Turns out factory center caps are 1/8" too small to fit in aftermarket wheels (MOTHER ******) so I can't really do anything with them.

If you can't use them sell them bitches. Mine cost me $85 new. You could probably get at least $50 for them.

Yeah they're from AM. They fit loose and aren't completely flush with the rim surface (looking at your pic yours don't look exactly flush either). The only way I can get them to not rattle around would be to glue them in place...but that means they have to be broken off to change tires, lol.
I read that aftermarket wheels use 2.5" centercaps and factory are 2 3/8"

Ahhhh I see. You know what weird is the back don't rattle AT ALL but the front ones do for me a little (don't rattle while driving but not a tight fit). They both sit about 1/16th of an inch recessed though. It doesn't bother me though.
ETA: from anything over 5 feet you would never know they don't have a perfect fit.

Eh I might **** with them. I just don't want them to fall out while I'm driving.
I tried swapping out the metal ring from my black caps onto the pony caps (it's a bit larger) but it doesn't hold it in place any better.
I didn't try to put them in my front wheels, just the backs, and they both rattled. I instantly became a sad panda.

For the front I tried to bend the plastic tabs and the metal ring but that didn't help any. I can say for sure that mine won't fall out, they may spin a little but they took a lot of pressure to push them back out. If the spinning bothers you but the slight recess doesn't just try a small amount of epoxy (JB Weld or similar) on a couple of the tabs.

Yeah I guess I may as well do it.
I really ******* despise taking the wheels off of my car, though, I have to drive onto a 2x4 to get the ******* low-profile jack to fit under it. And taking off the lugs is annoying, I'm going to start using an air ratchet and say to hell with the wheel paint, it's coming off anyway.
Sigh

I tried changing them out without pulling the wheels. I was kidding myself and that only lasted about 5 minutes. You MIGHT be able to change them without pulling the wheels if you are willing to destroy the old caps (drill a hole in them then pry them out). I am still not 100% sure that would work though.
