Here's a better picture of my bumper tuck that I posted previously.
Right now I have 2 zip ties on each end and it looks like the center is starting to droop down a bit so I'll be putting another zip tie in the middle also

Thanks brotha!! I took that picture yesterday when I installed my new GTSPEC bars. And I love the Vredesteins!!! I like them so much that I want to get them again once these wear out. The only thing that sucks is that they have a distributor on the east and west coast. A few months ago their west coast location went out of business so I'll have to have them shipped across the country which will cost more, but I'm not sure how much. They're really good tires and handle much better than my last 3 sets (OEM, Nitto 555 and Dunlop Direzza DZ101). And they're also very reasonably priced. I paid less for the 19" Vredesteins than I did for the Dunlop's on my stock 18" wheels.

damn dood looks like you're ready to go to war with them cannons

question about the gtspec's. do they give you any noticeable performance gains? talking about tracking, not dd'ing obviously. seems like they'd cause me more trouble worrying about bottoming out than the performance they give in return? I'm not too low though so maybe that wouldn't be an issue... looks sick man, keep it up

I haven't noticed any difference at all so far, but I only daily drive my car. From what I read, you only feel a difference if you track the car. And even then it's a very minimal difference. I really only bought them because I like the way they look, especially with a tucked bumper.
