Do you think I should cut my coils down and inch, too?

Thanks I'm pretty happy with it. I'm assuming because you're powder coating your wheels you plan on keeping them for a while..I would if I were you. But I'll causation you, I got a lot of rub on my front inner fender with the stock tires. I'd swap tires first.

Those powder coated wheels will look great on the gray.

Ok thanks, good advise. So drop the tire profile down to what?? I don't want too low profile, the max height I can fit without rubbing...

I am definitely keeping the wheels, and I love how the powder coat looks. Did you see the pics in my thread?

I had the 4" stubby antenna. Maybe its just my area but it did not work very well at all. I haven't yet, but planned on picking up one slightly bigger to see how it works. I rarely listen to regular radio but when I do, static makes me consider suicide by telephone pole. So I sold the 4" on craigslist for $5, and I have the monstrous stock antenna back in place. Will be looking at pepboys or autozone soon.

Got a 12" one now. Works better and looks better
