Before and After v.2k11
 

Kind of a spin off from the ghustle thread since i got curious to see where everyone came from to where they are now.

Rules of engagement:

1. One pic of when you first got it/before you did anything to it

2. One pic of how it sits/looks now

3. This is not a stance/slammed/lowered 'must be' thread, just a before and after pic thread....sooooooooooooo GO! :o

The car more than likely will not be modified more than this.

still very nice and under the radar

lol looks like 245/40s...i wouldnt tell him to roll the fenders, i'd have him stretch the tires if anything, but its still a nice look

stretch, spacers

245/40 . I rolled my fenders later that day . It was chewing up my tire . & I'm waiting for these tires to wear out until I get new ones . I'm thinking 215 stretched with spacers
