present for myself..hehe

wassup guys..i bought myself a Christmas present.. racinghart cx 19x8.5 with 38 offset.. i raised my car back to stock and slapped on the wheels.. the tire rub even with my fenders rolled, but after advice from some pros, i decided on the 38 offset.... the offset is perfect for my mild fender flares (wheels stick out about 1/2-3/4 of an inch from stock fenders).. decided to go with fender flares instead of the widebody... i hope to so some photos with the fender flares in the near future...

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

here are some photos.. i had to destroy my grille in order to make the new ones..(almost done for the 3.2, 2.5 grille completed) oh yea.. and my car is still being worked on so don't mind the dust and parts missing from my car..

nice rims... especially with the kit on... congratz on the present...

for some reason, the TL w/o the grill kind of looks like a beamer... wonder if some inserts from a beamer fit right up in there??? hmmm...

Nice rims BTW!!!

i have to agree with the beamer look. i think half is the grill being out and the other half is the headlights kit. not quite 'frog eyes' but hey.....s'all good.

looks pretty slick. I like the new rims, and the whole car looks really nice and classy at stock ride height. Keep working on that kit and thanx for doing so. Happy New year.

i wonder is he knows that people want that kit? i'm not sure, but i think every person that has posted has asked him to continue his work and cheering him on hehe. well i haven't yet..so .. keep up the good work and let us know when you're done. i think the car is very nicely kept and looking super duper indeed.
