Nice, I've been thinking about installing one on my car. Did you put the button in your glove box area?
Is that just a regular GT badge with adhesive on the back?I finally got everything sorted out with k&n and me new CAI, I would have never replaced it if it wasn’t for the cracking in the first pic, I have seen too many cylinder walls dusted by sucking in non filtered air(and this intake was obviously for a 05-09 not a ‘10) I ordered my new CAI ON MAY 7 and just today got everything installed kandn had to send me bolts a new air box and lid. I had to get a different tune since I removed the JLT, and it’s still not right I am having an issue with my engine dying intermittently when slowing to turn, I just got the cheap Bama though, I’m gonna have to get a Lito I just know it, which is fine, just not in the
immediate car fund budget, I’m glad I got it installed finally though

I put the SVT wheels back on today.
They have almost-new front Continental DW 285/40/18 tires and almost-new rear 305/40/18 Nitto 555R's on them.
Much better than 6-year-old Eagle F1's and bald 555R's
And every time I put these wheels back on I realize how much I love the look

I drove it on some back roads up to the property I’m closing on in two days. I haven’t driven her in 3-4 weeks at least, and it was nice to ride with the windows down

Thank you! That sunset view is looking down my drive towards the road. I can’t wait to sit on the porch in the evenings...You definitely have some very beautiful scenery driving towards your new location. Also, want to say congrats on your upcoming closing
I love the look too, Gabe. Just one question about the 285/40/18's you have up front. Do they rub up against anything at all whenever doing a full lock turn? If not, I'd much rather get my next set of tires as close to stock height of 27" as possible over 275/40/18 which have a diameter of 26.7" Thanks, Rocky
Thanks Rocky.
No rubbing. I'm running a small spacer, about 5mm, just to give the tire a little more clearance against the strut, but it fits without it.
Not much difference from 26.7 to 27" overall height though. You gotta remember, only half that difference will affect vehicle height, chances are good you'll never notice the difference once installed.
^ I also ran 285/40-18 tires on my 2014 GT. When I pulled the wheels for a tire rotation I saw slight rub marks on the front struts (from hard cornering) but nothing severe.

Lowered motor mounts? Maybe a new BMR K member with lowered motor mounts? Of course if you get the K member then you also need the matching BMR adjustable A arms for the front suspension.
With the suspension lowered was just another reason against swapping to a high-flow catted mid-pipe, as I was also concerned with clearance issues due to the number of speed bumps we have here in southwestern, PA. So I ran O/R for over the last couple of years and then just recently paired my Mac ProChamber with the stock cats by cutting off the stock midsection and clamping on the ProChamber in its place. I also considered the Magnaflow high-flow catted X, but I'm not really a fan of X-pipes, as I much prefer the classic rumble of an H crossover.I'm already scraping paint off speed bumps with the cats so I didn't want to lower the motor. I might can loosen up the exhaust flange bolts and roll the pipe to lift the cats back up after I lower the motor. I'll take a look at it.

Perhaps by adjusting the hood stops by turning them counterclockwise might be just enough to clear the hood from making contact with the intake
