By the way I liked your little tongue lashing you gave to DW Duke!
Congrats on conversation from enlisted to commisioned! I know it wasn't easy.

Thanks man, I just couldn't keep quiet any longer. That thread and that person were ridiculous.
As for the Xfire, the main thing is the wheels. I really like the look of a +1 configuration; I'm just not sure I want to lower the car with the new wheels because I may have some rubbing issues. I may not have to; however, the larger wheels may accentuate the gaps. All of the springs I've looked at drop the car a bit lower than I'd like. I don't really want to trim the springs, so I figured I could close the gap slightly with a larger side wall. Hmmm, the dilemma.
This is the car that inspired me. It's not lowered, and it looks really good. A slightly higher sidewall may be just right. I've lightened the pics so that the tire stands out more.
