Default New here, not new to modding

New to the PT world, I just picked up an 02 Limited. At the moment it is the family hauler but it's not going to stop there - the day after it came home it already had new wheels and tires on it

Most modifications will be performance related, since that's my wheelhouse probably starting with brakes and suspension at first - but I am sure there will be some appearance along the way.

I am sure you guys have seen a thousand stock PT's so I'll just throw up a pic with the new wheels.

Welcome to the forum, those are good looking wheels, what brand are they? I could use a set of those in chrome.

Ken S, welcome to the Forum. Used to live in MI, Harbor Beach & Gladwin. We came to Shipshewana IN last year for their PT Show. It was a great show with many cars from a lot of states.

My wife is driving the 'girly car'.
Oh wait, we both have PT's.
Love your Silver one,
wish my bumpers and lights looked that good.
