lol, as i said the body needs some TLC, and the reason i haven't post any full pics is because the car has no hood on it at the moment as its dirty as hell. ill post some up when i wash it lol.

thats sick man!

not a fan of the neo gen's though, my friend and i, burned through a set of them over a 4 month span, (in his 2007 Cobalt SS SC) they were recommended to us for casual track use/ every day driving and autocrossing, they sucked! compared to his old Pirelli's even though they were low end ones. and even too my other friends Nexen's N3000. I would rather go for nitto's invo. thats just my .02 cents

you are correct as far as them wearing out quick goes, and i knew that before buying them. 205/40R18 is kind of an odd size for most manufacturers and these Neo Gens were the best bang for the buck, plus they are made for negative cambered cars, and I'm running -3 all the way around.

Nankang ns2 has almost every size and personally, I think they are the best bang for the buck. I've got mine, 215/40/18, 4 brand new for 350$

no hard feelings taken man! i did pull, and roll the fenders and spent over 10 hours messing with the strut tower mounts, ginding, and aligning the fenders, different camber bolts and alignment, cause i was doing it all by my self and no air tools (manual labor FTL). but once i did it all, its def worth it. i've turned more heads in the last 24 hours than i've ever had with solara.

i got done putting the hood back on the car, and cleaned it up but it was dark already so i snapped a couple of "artistic" half ass pics with my phone again. full shots to come soon.
