    I think it was your truck being White that made me think of it, like a clean canvas ready for art. Some people go crazy with it, some are just sporty accents, some are functional like the vinyl over the hood scoop that stops the glare. Basically anything in this search:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=tac...hUCQK0KHQ_aDugQ_AUIEigC&biw=667&bih=299&dpr=2

    Just throwing that out there, not really going after the skid at the moment otherwise.

    Both are cool cars in their own right, no doubt. I would love to get a C5 or C6 generation Z06 and not worry about driving it... drive it like it’s meant to be driven. I feel like if I got a GTR I would baby it wayyyyyyy too much. Lol

    I want to say a sincere thank you to @FirstTimeFirstGen for coming through earlier (I guess it would be yesterday now) with the shocks.

    And also a huge thank you to @foxrcing07 and @CalTacoma09... they just left my house after midnight helping me wrench on my truck. I'll make my alignment appt. in the morning and the run to Relief Reservoir on Sunday.

    Cheers to all three of you guys :proposetoast:

    Just for the record. Want to get this off my chest. Sitting at McCoy Tire on McHenry (Modesto) waiting on my alignment. Came here because everyone I talk to says they are the best and know how to adjust SPC upper control arms.

    But let me say unequivicolly... the guy behind the counter is a TOTAL FUCKING ASSHOLE.

    I'm sitting here, and he has been a total fucking punk to 5 customers in a row. If my truck wasn't already on the rack, I'd tell him to fuck the hell off!

    I didn't measure before... but it sits higher enough that I almost fell on my face getting out the first time. @CalTacoma09 thought that was pretty funny.

    It rides GREAT!!!

    I liked that setup a lot. @2BeersPlease broke it in for me and once I lowered the preload, it felt very cushy.

    Like I said, I dont need those back til winter. If something doesnt work out with the 881s or you dont like how they feel, dont rush to get those back to me. Keep em til you get your setup dialed in (which I'm assuming will be before winter)
