I flew to Montana and picked it up, I drove through some of the worst weather imaginable and it handled wonderfully, saw like 100 accidents, and such. terrible, and snow drifts in Montana are scary. I wrapped my car and everything, the temperature was so cold that the adhesive came undone as soon as I drove out the dealer, so I had to come back with gorilla tape and warm car up and retape up the film to hold together better.
I put new wheels on it already, (except discount tires punctured one wheel front right,) they ordered a new one to replace the used one im using temporarily. Very happy with the new wheels. I put a new spoiler on last night, and installing the GT grille this week (I have a chrome pony emblem replacing the black one on grille)
Should I black out the chrome window trim? (it has black spoiler, black wheels, black grille) (It will have chrome front and rear pony, chrome lug nuts and chrome pony center caps in each wheel) Also, the stupid lug nuts are like 3 inches long its all discount tire had (35) dollars. So I ordered small diameter correct lug nuts for another 25 dollars online, I'll swap them out once I get them too. just a waste of money, no big deal.
Overall, the car is in great shape, no damage really. I washed her up once I got back. Spent 200 plane ticket, like 150 in gas, and 30 in food. I had a hotel room but the credit card machine wasn't working so they just gave me the room for the night. Nice little trip, saw Mount Rushmore too while I was passing through.
Edit. Do you think I can get much for the original 19 inch polished aluminum wheels? You can see the wheel on right of pic in the lifted car pic. May sell the grille + wheels if you guys think they are worth anything. Cant see myself ever wanting that look again.
