we took it to my inlaws house today so i can get started on the front suspension.....we ended up pulling the front bumper off with the chain when we fastened it to the trailer.  I forgot that the bumper shocks were removed for wieght reduction and pulled the welds off the aluminum braket that replaced them....opppps!  Lesson learned.... won't do that again! It will be an easy fix, no harm. Pics really show...aftermarket rims can really make a car, especially if they are shiney!

 I think you could step on the brake and get the tires loose, shift into high gear and spin at about 1000 rpm\ under 40 mph. Then take them back and demand a refund becouse they are only 1 day old............... ;D
