Never posted any pics of my ride. So i figured I woud given the fact I just bought Dark Pony's wheels. Almost done, just need GT500 spoiler, Pro kits and a front lip.

This is with the 305 DR's.

This is with the Bridgestone 285-35 RE070r's. Same as GTR uses. HAd to replace one of the DR's. Dark Pony HAd a flat and the inside of the sidewall was paper thin from rim rubbing it.

Looks good man! Any close up pics of how the 305/35-20s fit? Looking at putting some Nittos on a 10" wheel, trying to decide whether to go 305 or 315 since they run so narrow.

I may have one pic. I have a set of 305's nittos cheap if your interested. One is brand new other 50%. They tuck even with the rear fender. I was worried about it as well.

You did it wrong then.

I just used plenty of Goo Gone.

A little Goo Gone, a little heat gun and a little 50 pound test braided fishing line (with 2 sticks on the ends, used like a saw) and they come off quite easy. Also helps to do it on a hot Texas summer day.

Did you use double-sided tape on the new spoiler?

Yes, 3m. Followed the same outline that it came off with.

Might want to go over it with a hair dryer at some point. I can't be sure but, I was told that the tape needs to be warm to properly adhere. I have not tried to prove this on my car by removing the screws and pulling on it.

I believe pressure is a more important factor then temp. I usually put C clamps on them for an hr so before removing.

I have 315 NT05 on a 20x10 and they fit well. i've had no issues with them.

I like it. I'm torn between it and a boss 302s grille. 300$ is a lot for a grille though.

Anybody know if the GT500 spoiler will cover the four forward holes left by the GT/CS?

Right now I have them covered, but I'd like to do it better.

You did not like running the 305's on it?

They were drag radials and I did t like the wobbly feel I got from the soft sidewall. With my power level 285's are sufficient.
