Dont be afraid to pull them off. It should just be double sided tape. Take some goo gone, to the residue then buff out with wax.
But if you like them, thats cool too.

Looks nice. I never was in love with those style Cobra wheels, but they look good with the teal paint.

Like the giant said, those wheels look pretty good against that paint colour.

Ira hush..I;m going for the factory look!..Everyone is afraid of a teal SC at car shows..Commoen now!
Ed the tires fit real well suprisingly enough...I only got them because it was an amazing deal for the tires and the height is perfect. Hopefully this weekend I will be done! Picking up donar rear spindles tonight

Factory Look.
You somewhat lost that by getting those wheels.
Although I think they used to do 3 mods only to be in the stock class.
Wheels one
Tires Two
One left SVT emblem three
One right SVT emblem Four.
Not stock anymore:D

The Nittos are generally a bit narrow for a given size, compared to some other brands and models ... so you may not kill yourself right away, it will be prolonged. :p

Ricardo..Didnt say stock look..Factory look...And of course thats a personal opinion. Trying not to go crazy like I did with my last car and end up with a POS. I almost did at a point but stoppe dmyself
Not even counting emblems it has way to many minor appearence upgrades from stock to be considered in stock class..Then again a judge wouldnt even know its an SC...I had one judge tell me at a show the Supercharger was an upgrade....Need we explain everything!
Lowered, rims, brakes, radiator, intake, tints, dam emblems, raised top, pulleys, airbox, MAF TB..>All detract from a stock look..But overall dont make it appear that off..Just different..Or detailed.
Just hope I can get the rear brakes done this week along with my slave cylinder. Would love to bring it to carlisle

Red car sstill at Daves house waiting for my 2.2 liter A/R to show up. Dont know if I told you but I had sent it out to get work done to it and its MIA for the past 2 years. Dave should be putting the DIII on it so I can get it back on the road. The way I look at it its a good twin turbo candidate at this point once funda allow. That car had the 98 cobra rims which I really liked as well. The cars in my signature.I look at it every so often and just get angry haha

Yea I remember you telling me about the blower thing. But I figured you would have made some progress at this point. Its been like 3 years. :eek:
Stop buying so many cars :p So funds allow you to finish it.
You should get locked out of the cars for sale section. Seems like you are always looking.
Hopefully I can finish with mine this year. So I can leave it alone for a while and drive it. Its seems like its a never ending proyect for a do it yourselfer.
I wonder if the car will qualify for the fastest SC list with the My M90/112. It is technically a Eaton M90 except for the guts. Maybe the same that applies to the engine will apply the blower. "must look like a stock SC engine".....Must look like a Stock M90. Did I find a loop hole under the rules????

Ricardo,
Yes it will qualify for the Fastest SCs list, but not for the most Powerful SCs list. Current Fastest SC list allows for any blower, turbo or nitrous....even multiple blowers. "Must look like a stock SC" is a very subjective term and doesn't really make much sense given the rest of the rules.

Most powerful list is what I meant. I dont think I will ever be any where near the top in the fastest, since I am am afraid of Slicks.
The way I look at it we can do anything to a 3.8l right. But as long as it looks like one it qualifies, well if the charger looks like a M90 and the guts are different why does it not qualify. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut and summit the Sheets and see if they notice.:p
