Thanks, I'll snap a few more once I've given it a proper wash... The only thing I've done up to this point is gutted the air box and installed a K&N. Not planning on getting to crazy with this one. Up next will be urethane end-links & sway bar bushings and cross drilled rotors. Out of the box this car is substantially more stable than the 98 LeSabre I had before this one with all of the same mods I'm planning on doing to this one.

Looks wonderful! Love those wheels on there. Totally change the look. Devin used to have one just like it, but supercharged and green.

Thank you, I happened upon an image of his car whilst researching wheel fitments and I was like Yahtzee! I'd definitely consider supercharging it and embracing the whole sleeper vibe lol!

Thank you and thank you for the inspiration... I didn't want to go with the exact same wheels to I went with the silver. I'm really digging the overall look of the car since installing them ;)

Seriously! Since the swap I've had two different gentlemen ask me "What kind of Buick is that!?"

I was gonna ask if my car was an inspiration, but it seemed a little egotistical. lol

Absolutely! Got to give credit where credit is due ;) I was originally looking at Chrysler wheels but the offsets weren't quite right...
