Phase II of upgrade complete!

Just wanted to share a couple of pics with you all. I added the 4.8is front bumber and got her some new shoes (Replica 87's with Conti Extreme DWS). Next phase will be to replace all fender flares, add running boards and replace back bumper with a 4.8 bumper. Look for more pics come April. Thoughts?

wow looks great. I've been wanting to do the 4.8is front bumper for a long time now.

Looks good. Style 87s are the best.

Edit: Looks like you have 9.5 inch wide 87s on the back. Did it for rotation purposes?

No...those are staggered...10.5 in rear and 9.5 in front...

are they OEM or Replicas? and what tires are those? The tread pattern doesnt look too familiar to me? do you like them?

The wheels are replica's. The tires are Conti Extreme Contact DWS. It's a new all season tire they came out with recently. Just got em...very pleased so far.

Where did you get the 87's ? How much ?

Got the replica 87's from wheelsandcaps.com. Paid $837 + shipping.

Double check the wheel width. I had a customer order from them about 2 months ago and instead of getting a 9.5" and a 10.5", he received 2 9.5" wide wheels. Just a word of warning.

Looks good....but then again I've always liked the look of the 4.6/4.8.

I suggest you get something to set it off from a standard 4.6/4.8 though - it could be something as simple as smoked lenses....just something a little different.
