Couple Upgrades

Well,

I decided to personalize my car a little more. I had a couple rims with curb rash and the tires needed to be swapped anyways, so I had them repaired and painted 'triple hyper black' at least that's what the guys at Alloy Wheel Repair in Houston called it. I switched out my tires for some Michelin Pilot SS, 285 in the front and 315 in rear and they hook up soooooooo much better.
I also decided to swap the front grill. It would have taken about 2 hours, but I decided to clean the entire wheel well, springs and everything while I was doing it so it took about 2 1/2hrs. Overall I think it looks great! What do you guys think??

Oh yeah.. I removed the flat black hood cover when the experts at the Carwash Barn decided to wax it......and it wouldnt come off so I removed the cover.

BTW, the last pics are the cars I drive during the week so I dont put miles on the Chevy!!! LOL

If you paid for 315's I'm afraid you got ripped off

If it's the due to the first pic, I believe that's the original tire at 305.

The first picture is a 305....my mistake that's your original tire not the new ones.

That's what happens when you try to be a smart ass on only a few hours sleep !!

BTW, the 305's are hard too get everywhere. I just bought new Vredestein Ultrac Vorti's in 285/35/20 and 315/35/20.

Maybe it was a good thing I couldn't find the 305's
