Looks great dude! I love the Ordens!!

I think the car looks naked without the emblems, but maybe that's just me
You should put the bike rack back on

Thanks y'all for the kind words.
I'll get a few more pictures uploaded soon. I'm not really good at snapping shots, so I don't do it much.

They're actually Eurolines, not Ordens. I had the rack on there, but for some reason, it didn't look right.

You're right though, it does look weird with the rack on.

To be honest, I've nevre notcied the difference. I need to eyeball a set of Ordens and compare.

Back to your comment on the emblems... I was thinking of doing all gold emblems with gold lugs. I just need to photoshop it to get an idea as to how it'd look.

Here's my friends car with his old ordens.

Hmm, if you do the gold emblems, what about the chrome trim on the trunk?
If it were me I'd keep it as is. The rest of your car's chrome trim would look out of place

I have a friend who owns a vinyl shop and can apply gold vinyl to match the emblems. I was going to have him to the trunk trim and front grille outline. The only chrome would be the door trim and the bumper trim. But that might flow with the lips on the wheels.
And those ordens are HOT, by the way.

Does your front mud guard scrape when going over speed bumps? Mine does most of the time so I cut off a good 2" off the fronts and 1" off the rears. By the way, your car is hot...and super clean! What are the specs to those wheels?

Thanks!
Funny... I would like a black one instead of this white one.

Yes, my mud flaps scrape EVERYTHING. If I turn sharp, you can hear the fronts just rubbing away. It used to be real bad when I 1st dropt it, but driving and road trips have trimmed it down for me. I dont care too much about the noise... It's just an excuse to turn up the radio.
The wheels are 19x8.5 +32
