Well, my new bumper is painted, and I should get installed, along with my 98 RS edition lower grille finally (having this plastic welded to the foglight baskets), and I just ordered 5 SVT Dark Argent rims this morning....$165 each....not bad for a 17x7" rim eh?
Anyways, once the new bumper is on, and I get a chance to wax the car...again...I will post up some new pics. Now I need to shop around for the best price on the tires that I want.
l8tr!

Sorry had to be said.
Where did you get the rims from? Not a bad price at all.

I bought the rims from Northway Lincoln....a Blue Oval dealership on Colbourne Street in downtown Brantford. They gave me a good price on them like that because I was order 5 instead of 4 (wanna have a full-size spare for summer), aswell as I am a good customer and they get good prices from Ford Motorsport directly on certain things.
And ya, I'll get pics of the redone bumper and grille etc once it's installed (doing this in the morning tommorow).

If you have a unidirectional tread pattern on your summer tires then you would need 2 full size spares, one for each side.

I just ordered the tires, and the rims already came in for the car this past weekend. They are the SVT Euro's, and the tires are a 215/45 17 Fuzion ZRi...I will see how these are for now, since they are only $168 each installed and balanced, and wait until next year to buy something more expensive. I will get some new pics up once they are on the car....

I have Fuzion ZRi's on my car too. You will find that they pick up everything. I drive down the street and all I can here is small gravel bouncing off the undercarage. They are great tires. The tires have a rim protection lip by the bead. The tires preform excelent in the rain. I am very happy with them.

Here we go...not the best quality pics ever, but the waether wasn't the best either when these pics were taken...I am really pleased with the overall appearance, and the response of the tires seems pretty good so far...nicely weighted feel to the steering wheel, and less steering input needed to turn. I had a stupid grin on my face while I was driving the car around the last day or so because the car gets noticed by more people now...not sure if this is a good or bad thing...lol
