Yes we do! I appreciate it. Now, to find a set of 20" Sport wheels like you have. I am just not sure I like these wheels I got. I should have put a little more thought into the offset.

Right now, I plan on running these wheels, they've grown on me. Would like a slightly wider tire, those are 275/55/20, I'd like to go to maybe a 285 eventually, but then I'm tending to get into taller than I want, 33" max, I want to keep the launch capability of a shorter tire.
It's a far shot, and you've heard it before, but maybe look for some takeoffs. Those aren't the wheels that come stock on mine, they were an option, so takeoffs might be rare,

I'm gonna have to figure out my camera to get a video, maybe break down and try to decipher the owners manual into English I understand.

Thanks on the grille.
That shop is in Alpena, Larry's Collision, Dan is the guy that I worked with. I got there at 0800, we removed the grille, and I was back at 1300. There's supposedly a lot of touristy things to do in Alpena, maybe make it a day trip for you, I could even meet up there.

Thank you very much. I got it waxed up yesterday, and plan on getting some photos in the sun with the grille. I'm liking this color more everytime I look at it.

Some photos as to what I've done so far. Remeasured the rear end, and found it only lowered an inch, good enough, just have to make up my mind if Iwant to raise the front 3/4". 37 1/2" and 39" in the photos.
