Got them on about 2 days ago...I LOVE IT.
What do you guys think about a spoiler? Should I get one? It looks good without it too. I can get a spoiler or window tint for xmas from my parents. or anything else that is about $200

Well since you kinda have a budget ($200) limit, I would go with springs for now. H&R Sport Springs would be awesome. BTW- Wheels look really nice.

PS- change your sig out now that u have the new wheels.

Skip the spoiler for right now. Get some H&R Sport springs asap and treat yourself to a 14" antenna cuz that big old mast antenna has got to go.

Here's the problem I'm having with this now. I don't have anything else to drive in winter. (Wisconsin) So im going to have to put back my old rims/tires on and i dont really know what else I want to do to this before winter. I guess springs wont make a difference in winter, im just having problems deciding what to do. Maybe i'll talk to my parents and find a way to store this baby and buy a $500 pos for the winter.

Sell your old rims and buy a POS for the winter. Youll be glad you did. You should also get rid of those stupid replica caps and buy some different ones.

Your center caps that are black with the cobra. Replace those with something different.

Don't listen to him, why tf would anyone care about center caps?...

Yo how much tred do you have on your old tires? it may not be smart too put them back on if they are balding...instead just use the new one, the 10.5 in the rear should give you enough grip to get through most light snow...

As for next, i still say go wit H&R's, then you can worry about a spoiler, the only thing is if you get a new spoiler with your old paint coat on, it's guna look really different. Ebay is great for small things, but just remember you get waht you pay for...

I was told that the salt will eat away at the chrome rims too, so id have to take them off. My old tires only have about 5-6000 miles on them

Dont listen to grimmz. why would anyone care about your bald tires.
Dont listen to grimmz. dont worry about what he says about springs if he doesnt have any to compare to.
Dont listen to grimmz. You can do whatever you like with your spoiler.
Dont listen to grimmz. He doesnt know anything about getting what you pay for.



If you use those rims in the winter here, they will be pitting before spring rolls around. Remember, im like 30 minutes away from you.. I know our weather.

Is there a good way to take it off? Or just pick at it?

thats what i did for mine. chances are, it hasnt been on for too long so it wouldnt hurt paint. just take of a little at a time and see if paint is affected.
