I have always loved those rims, those look sick, we have several staggered members, but i dunno about that wide. Cocoa would be the only one you're close too, and maybe fliplyricist and dragon

that's good company then

no stagger for me though, +25 all around. i had to massage the fender lips on the way home cause i had the oem 16's with rubber in the back seat and trunk. probly good for 120-130 lbs. the rear was almost tucking when i left the place and when i took right turns with any speed it was rubbing a little. i think it's fine now though. need to throw some paint on the fender lips though.

i'm gonna go out in a bit and wash it.

thanks guys.

cocoa, you and flip showed me the light, and entertain my crazy idea's

flip, try driving up here as low as you are, it's not even possible really. i live 15kms out into the country. plus i deliver pizza so i need to be able to get in and out of driveways. the lip is acutally just sitting on there for the pics, i snagged it reversing out of a driveway one day and it snapped off at the rear support. it's fixable, but i'm in no rush cause it's much easier to raun around town without having to worry about hitting stuff, like raised manholes.

oh and to 9" +15's

97BlackAckCL, it's all good

GianJ30a & mitch14, go check out the "foglight's don't look good on cl's" thread for details.

southernjerseycl, i got my eye on a wing atm, but it's not oem, for the cl anyways.

Looks amazing! The wheels really set it off. The only thing that would really set it off and make it look a little wider is an oem wing. I freaking love your car davzila!

Those corner slits still annoy me tho..

cool, i think a wing would make you car look super ultra sexy, instead of just super sexy. and i don't think you need to lower it anymore, its at a great height as it is.


i still drool over your fogs. amazing.

Im trying to guess what part of an airplane you snatched those wing looking things on the back from....not to mention they look glued on

Looks ridiculous, but other than that sharp looking car.

Actually they're front spliters from a scion xb or xa. they're screwed into the bumper and follow the contour of the rear end perfectly. it looks alot better in person, i dunno why it looks so goofy in the pics.

it's all good though, no offence taken, i mean, you drive a miata so...

haha yeah man, mucho props your car is lookin sick aggressive now! I totally hear ya...especially being a pizza delivery driver...as I am right now I have to avoid 40 percent of the 'usual' routes to take detours as I'm not able to get over most large speedbumps, even without any sort of lip kit. I can't even imagine with your mugen style lip

The WORST feeling in the world, is driving at night, and hitting a huge ass pothole without even knowing. it's literally like the brutha Jax from Mortal Kombat just came and shook the shit out of your car. omg. hahah

I'm really jocking your accord fogs though, would look SICK with the vip style I'm trying to go for...man, I wish you had an extra set, I'd cop em off you with the quickness!

One of two rotas that I actually like, I think they're a good mix between Work Meisters and SSR Professors. Looks pretty sexy imo.

thanks man, that means alot comming from you. i'm getting the tanabe springs i think, the back is just a little to low cause eibach is stupid and does even drops instead of leveling the front and rear gap like, oh, everyone else.

there's only a couple areas left around here that are bad delivery roads and most of the rasied manhole covers aren't too bad, but i'm not nearly as slammed as you are

if you can find the fogs i'll show you how to do it, but i'm not posting a DIY for the masses.

nope, big ass carbon fibre drift wing

kidding, but it is CF. although i would consider the drift wing once it's RWD, but that's at least 4-5yrs away. lol maybe i should get another pair of the rota's in 17x9 while they still make them.
