GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 It's almost 16yrs old and knocking on 200k miles, but it still looks beautiful in my eyes! After owning it nearly 11yrs, I still wouldn't trade it for a brand new anything. Man, it will look so good when I get the rear lowered to match the front. I didn't really want to share pics with the world till I got the rear lowered since the difference in height looks pretty ridiculous, but like a proud papa, I couldn't help it. I guess it's time to cough up $300 to send to ol' Mr. Smolen. :shock: How many 28yr olds still have the same car they had in high school? It's still got a long way to go till I'm happy, but I still love it. Quote
cutlsp Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 God what a hot lookin Cutty:withstupid:well we know that leaf spring is still good Quote

It's still got a long way to go till I'm happy, but I still love it. well, if I still had mine, it'd have about 250,000 miles on it approx. And when I turn 28 I'd estimate it'd have about 430,000. But so far I have the same type of car, does that count? Quote
dsgrntld187 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Sweet rims you got there. What size are they? Quote
bluegp Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 How many 28yr olds still have the same car they had in high school? I'm 34 and still have mine. However, I won't tell you what it is since it's name was bashed so much in the "hubcaps" thread. Your Cutlass looks awesome with those wheels. I've liked the Internationals ever since they first came out. Quote

Guest TurboSedan Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 looks REALLY good Shawn!! i'm going to have to order a FAF spring soon, i've been having problems with my TDC coilovers lately Quote
Dannymik Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Sean that Cutty looks ausome. I just turned 28 and if I was to show you my 1st ride right out of high school you would probably whisper something like "ill". I bought an '83 Monte Carlo with the 305 4 barrel. It had nice wheels but the paint was bad(that goldish bronze color). One thing that I have to say about good ole "Betsy" was that she had a very comfy back seat Quote

runt Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Dammit shawn I LOVE those wheels. That is one hella clean car. Quote
RareGMFan Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 I concur, those wheels look absolutely bad ass. What kind are those? Quote
Euro Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 that is really sharp!!! 220,000 miles? no! it looks like 20,000 miles Quote
slick Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Very very nice looking! The stance kinda reminds me of my Z's, but the front sitting lower than the rear looks good on my car. Most definately get that rear end lowered. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Posted July 18, 2004 Thanks for the compliments, the wheels are CSA Gladiators. They are Mille Miglia EVO 5 clones without the fake bolts. http://www.mullinswheels.com.au/ Quote
Psych0matt Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 WOW!!! that is one hot car. can i borrow it for a while? Quote
Garrett8 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 nice car ill prolly see it around town in a month or so when i go to school Quote
bbender85 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 Thanks for the compliments, the wheels are CSA Gladiators. They are Mille Miglia EVO 5 clones without the fake bolts.http://www.mullinswheels.com.au/ wow, no kiddin... i've drooled over the evo5's for 3 years now... were they substantially cheaper than the evo's? (i hope) Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Posted July 19, 2004 Yep, MUCH cheaper! $570 shipped from National Tire in Canada. I couldn't find a distributor in the US so I had to get them from Canada. 18x8 Evo5's are $992 shipped from Tirerack. So a savings of $422 and the only difference is lack of fake bolts. Plus, I actually prefer the cleaner look without the fake bolts. When I found pics of the Gladiators and discovered they were Evo5's without fake bolts, I had to have them! Quote
cryptnix Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 I did the best I could do but ... man that does look nice :-D Before After Drop Quote
sl3196 Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 Definently looks better with the rear lowered! Quote
