Looking forward to seeing the progression. Looks good so far....will look better once slammed on B&G's.. I noticed you removed the pedestal spoiler, did you cover the holes yourself?

^ that's rough man, sorry about that, at least you didnt get hurt, and those tires look like they are TERR-A-BAD for the winter. They look like my spring/summer tire's. I'd get all season tires or winter tires very worth it IMO.
