Talking Finally Pics of the Passnu2 Matador Red GS430!!!

Okay so here are some pics for those that couldnt wait to see...

We were not able to install the Rear BBK I cant find anyone that has the right hex 12 point bolt to take off the Drive Shaft bolt. I ordered one and it was too small?? So I have to send it back to get the right size. But the rest is done and on so I guess its good enough for pics!!!!

HUGE Shoot out to the following:
Parts:
Nigel for the great service on the parts!!!!!!!!!!

Installation/Custom Fabrication:
Tommy Chao - Ill Garage, Villa Park IL

I know I started to see everyone posting with them...oh well...I had to wait 6 mos for them...and to top it off Discount Tire damaged one of my rims while mounting the tires. They had to order me a new rim at not cost to me. I couldnt believe it but they did take care of the cost but I have to wait a long time for the new rim with how long it took just to get them.

I wish I had pushed the offsets just a little more both in the front and the rear but overall its not to bad. did 20x9 fronts / 20x10.5 rears.

Still searching for side skirts and something for the rear.

I will post some better pics when we do a photo shoot in the next few weeks with the car all cleaned up.

I have been looking but there isnt much out there. Have you installed one on your car?? I want to do this and tint the windows and paint the roof black and install the shark fin for XM and get rid of the dam black box on my trunk. I like the Job Design bumper but not so sure it will look good on a red car like it does on the black car

Yes it was and the Mgr wanted to blame me for it Good thing the young kid that helped me stood up for me and said they where fine when I dropped off....Then I was told to get my rims/tires and get out of the store and I am not welcome anymore I have given them so much business and sent them a lot of business Now I have to wait ~ 3 mos or better for the new rim but I guess I have a spare rim unless they want it back. I must say I was pretty bummed when I went back but its done and over with and I spoke to the guys at Work in CA and all is good.

Yea, Mike...Way to be original. You need to drop them off at my place. Get yourself something different.

Your car is looking good Mike!I like your Works, BBK, and exhaust. I just spent a nice chunk of $$$$ on some new 19" wheels that should be shipped to my residence around mid-late July. I wish I had the money for a pretty brake kit.
