Default The "Butt" Factor

I was glancing through some old pictures and perusing the forums when I came across a year old picture of my car prior to the wide-booty conversion.

Wow! What a difference a year makes!







I wanted a wide butt for tires and rims but IMHO, it sure looks meaner. The STS tips look better also.

I agree. Just different. I do like the wider tires and the tips better.
