RAISS (ram air kit):
Wow is all I have to say! There is a very obvious 'seat of the pants' increase in throttle response over the K&N FIPK. Very easy to install and sounds mean as hell.

18X8.5 OZ Nova wheels w/ Dunlop Sport Max 235/50/18:
With this tire size I gained half an inch over the 255/45/18 Michelin Pilots I had before. They ride great, very quiet! The wheels are absolutely wicked! As always, I had to be unique and got some Caddy centers on it...

What do you all think?
Take care,
Elias :thumbsup:

That is rather "bitchin'", If I do say so myself.

Hmm, I like it. The rims are the perfect size to pull off that look.

Well done! :)

The more I try to hate those rims, the more I love them. I would have gone with centercaps that matched the emblems on the rest of the car though.

Thanks!

My next modification will be buying a CTS-V and putting the Fleetwood to show duty only :thumbsup:

I can't wait to see how you mod a CTS-V.

Outstanding! Looks excellent, can't wait to see it in person in May!

gotta say

i really LOVE it!!!

Love it too, and as I said in the other forum, now with the slightly toned down silver vs. chrome look and tuner style, it very much looks even closer to a factory done tuner-sport version. And yes, the RAISS is just oh so pretty, which is something to say when it's an intake!

IMHO those are absolutely the most beautiful aftermarket wheels I have EVER seen on a FWB.
But that is the most unusual #20 wheel weight I have ever seen.

:thumbsup: Thanks gentlemen! Trying to keep her classy yet have some "oomph" under the hood

All I can say is AWESOME. Wow a job well done.

Those are the best aftermarket rims I've ever seen on a Fleetwood. The size is perfect. Just perfect. Ram air is certainly different! Let us know how that affects things like cooling, etc.

Elias -
When will we see a scan of your 1/4 mile tape?

I have my dyno appointment on April 21st and the 1/4 mile shortly after that :thumbsup:

Love those wheels! I never would have imagined BBS style wheels would look good on an FWB, but it looks awesome!

Looks killer!! My only recommendation would be to remove the sticker from the rear windows. Stickers do not flow with the outside of a FWB.

I didn't even notice those, what are the and why are they there?

Stickers: Viper alarm and ISSCA

I like it those new rims are outstanding :thumbsup:

I just noticed, after re-reviewing the pix of your GORGEOUS vehicle;
- are your backup lights "yellowing" or is it just a reflection of a dull day? :confused:

Acutally they have been getting very small stress cracks in them and at times collect a bit of water. I bought a brand NOS pair of them from eBay a year ago but haven't got around to pulling the rear bumper to change them. Very keen eye you have there! :thumbsup:

Not a keen eye. It's more like spotting a hangnail on a beautiful woman.

It's funny how different people notice different thinks, I noticed that he didn't dress his spare.

It's also rim face down, so if he did the trunk liner would get full of tire shine.

that's a beautiful machine, Elias

I'm in chicago too. i would love to see that car in person. your fleetwood is the kind of cadillac my fleetwood wants to be when it grows up.:)

Removing the rear bumper is not necessary to replace the back-up lenses.
