bRO IF THAT was a p71.... then the last owner spent a boatload of cash on converting the whole car. The pedals, gauges, interior, exterior, seats. This was orignially a marauder (it was black).

Looks nice! I would definitely like to see pics of your car with ImpalaSlayer's gun metal gray wheels on it! Also, please invest in a set of OEM floor mats and get taller tires on the back.

Very TASTEFULLY different!

The tires in the back are slightly bigger then the front. I just posted the sizes in this thread. Also I plan on really doin a complete makeover on the interior. I want to get my engine work squared away first.

Stock Front is suppose to be 235/50-18
Stock Rear is suppose to be 245/55-18, most people change up to a 255/55-18 because the stock rear is pretty hard to come by.

I would not want to be driving around on that skinny of a front tire unless I was at the track.

Well the good thing is your current rears seem to be an "okay" tire and all you need to do is put those on the front and either get the same size 235/50-18 or 255/55-18 to replace the 225/45-18 tires and put them on the rear.

Make sure you get a tuner also that way you can adjust the Revs Per Mile to correct the speedometer since 235/50 tires is going to make the speedometer rear slight faster than you are actually going and the 255/55 tires is going to be vice versa, reading slower than you are actually going.

When it comes to this type of info I'll need alot of help. I'm new to this kind of hobby. How much is the tuner and where can i get it.

Tuner runs $380-500 depending on the unit you buy and all.

These are two vendors for our site that sell the tuner with pre-loaded tunes on it.
http://www.alternativeauto.com/
http://www.reinhartautomotive.com/

You can contact either one.

I love the silver. Wish they came like that.

As far as the ebay interior, how does the drivers seat get messed up like that? Someone rubbing in and out of the car over time is my only guess. Still how does it get that bad???

On todays edition of Point-Counterpoint, Marauder colors: Should they have made Silver ones? First caller, go.

I love the silver. Wish they came like that.

Point taken. Next caller.

Counterpoint!

Tune in tomorrow when we debate wether or not Marauders could have been made in 2003.
