Those are the 16X8 wheels right? They look okay, the stock wheels you had on there looked better though. You should get the 17x9 ws6 wheels though, they're simliar to what you have now but look much better.

Re: New rims, white face gauges, sub box, and other mods
about your guages, where did you buy them from. They look great! Ive had trouble finding ones that display in km/h... all ive seen is mph.
The whole car looks great man!

How hard was it to take them off and re-do them...The manifold gasket on my firebird's right side is messed up and I need to change it...makes a little clicking noise when accelerating
...I was looking for some advice on how to do it and any tips...did your bolts break when pulling it off?? Any drilling?? What size bolts?? any advice??

I don't see why you would have problems with the tinting due to your t-tops.
Tint away!

Re: New rims, white face gauges, sub box, and other mods
I think I still have a set of Mcewan white faced guages in km/h but they were for my 89 GTA which I no longer have. If you are intersted I could look. If they are around you can have em.

Re: New rims, white face gauges, sub box, and other mods
I agree with Duratys. When are you coming back with your car??? I think yours should handle a little better but I woud like a ride to see just how much nicer the KYB/Eibach is over the Canuk/Tokico stuff.

Re: New rims, white face gauges, sub box, and other mods
I had a similar box in my previous setup except it was angled toward the front. I was able to store the tops resting on the box, but I had grilles on my woofers to protect them.
Memphis is good stuff, are those M-Class? I have a single 12" MOJO in my current setup, it rocks.

Re: New rims, white face gauges, sub box, and other mods
Looks really nice, defently needs some lowering springs tho, those wheel gaps are huge. That windshield decal is kinda ugly too, other than that it's a really nice lookin clean car

Re: New rims, white face gauges, sub box, and other mods
the gauges werent that bad but make sure when you put the gauges back in put your gas gauge to full then top your car off otherwise it will be off, thats what i did at least. for the box i looked at plans that other people built and then just went from there
