I still need to get the ACS springs installed! But I got the tires installed yesterday. When I pick them up in the morning I'll do a test fit. I'll wait till it gets warmer to keep them on the car.

I didn't test fit them today. I picked them up and they are sitting in the garage. I put a ceramic coating on them and they have to cure for at least 3 days before I can put them on the car. Here are some pics.

Nice ride!
Can I suggest the black Performance kidneys (grille) in front?

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm eventually doing that but they don't make them for vehicles that have Night Vision. I would have to buy a new grill that has Night Vision and either paint them myself or have someone paint them for me.

You're right. I overlooked that you have Night Vision. Pretty stupid that it' not possible in black imo.

Are you satisfied with the Night Vision?

Looks great, but with 21s a drop is really necessary.

That is so true! I think 21's are the biggest you can go without looking like a Caprice with 24's on. But I do have ACS Springs waiting to get installed. I tried to do it myself but the shock would not come out without using a pickle fork to get the wishbone looking top piece off to able to slide the shock out. I didn't want to remove that piece SO I just put it back together.

Thanks Everyone! I'm finally getting the ACS springs installed today. I'll post a before and after picture later.

I finally got the ACS Springs installed. It looks 1000x's better and the suspension feels more taut!!! I dont know if it's me or just lowering with the ACS springs makes it feel that way? Either way it's a lot better!
