I've never been able to, but with the help from Ken, I should be able to get some pics on here. Its still pretty stock, but hopefully by next summer I'll have some Konig 17" Graphite Trouble's on some Mich pilots...Eibach springs and Magnaflow muffler will be done in about a month, and I'm getting a momo shiftknob too...couldnt help it. (I'm trying to create thumbnails, the pics are actually pretty big...a little too big probably)



















On the next one, the little coin thats on top of the coin holder...is a NeverSummer thing I got when I bought my NeverSummer snowboard...if any of you guys snowboard...you might have recognized it. Dumb I know...but I love cars, and snowboarding, what can I say. Oh yeah, and the shift plate in there, I accidentally ordered a shift plate from a '97 RL, so it was the same damn piece...so I tried to just strip the paint, it didnt turn out to bad. I'm glad I found these boards, you guys all help a ton when trying to just make the car a little nicer in your "own" way...or at least differently than the "normal people"





Ok I know this last one is kind of odd, but if I could post
this anywhere and have someone know how cool this actually
is (if you had the bad one you'd know)...it would be these boards.




I still have a lot to do (all the expensive stuff, lol) but its been fun. This car has always been fun to drive, i'm looking forward to putting the best parts on soon.

 

I really hate to re-post...but these are the rims I'm getting hopefully in the spring...if I got them now, i'd have to take them off in a month because of the damn snow anyways....What do you guyz think...? I love em, they're 17's (and it will be dropped by then too...)

 

sorry for this stupid question but how does snow affect a wheel? forgive me but im from the south and i have only seen snow like once or twice in my 26 years of living? and the snow that i did see was only like an inch..or less.

 

NICE!! Where you get the foot rest? I'm 6 feet tall and still can't reach the dam foot rest.

 

lol...its just more dangerous to drive in the snow with nice rims/wheels...you slide around alot and hitting a curb or two when its stormy and there's 6 inches of new snow on the road isnt out of the question. Plus the nicer rims let more snow get all up in your breaks and mess your braking up too...it plays hell with the ABS when there is a ton of snow jammed in the wheel well...plus nicer rims are usually lighter...all the weight you can get in the snow is a good thing. Oh yeah, performace tires usually suck really really bad in the snow...really bad.

Fillup05, you must have one of the few defective dead pedals like I and a few others on the boards did...it was the same for me, i'm 6' tall and I couldnt reach it either. You just have to order the new part...putting it in is really easy, either go to a dealer and order it or go online...the part # is 46991-SZ5-A84 (thats the pedal you want)

 

Looks nice and clean bro. Those rims are hott too. One suggestion though, please dont think im hatin, but you may want to consider those rims in 18's if they will fit. I have 17's on mine and wish to all hell that I would have gotten 18's. I guess depending on the series of tire you are running and a drop will make it look better if you have 17's, but i have 215/55 on stock ride height, and sometimes the rims just look so small. Those rims are gonna look smaller on the car too cause they are dished like that. But regardless of your choice, those are nice lookin wheels.

 

Ah, good point...i've been torn on that decision for quite some time now. I am droppin my car, but not much cuz ND is bad for lowered cars...shitty roads etc. I'm going Eibach Prokit so it should only drop about 1.3 inches or so...and I'd go with 215, 55's if I was goign to get 17's...do you think it would be ok to go with plus 3 tires and it would still ride ok? I dont want the ride to be really rough, but a little rough for looks and handling I could deal with...

 

Mike the mod with the white TL has a big drop and 18's and says the ride is still really smooth. Think having the prokit springs will allow for a comfortable ride with little to no noticable sacrafice of ride quality. If u went with the prokit and 17inch 215/55's then I dont think that u would notice a difference at all.

 

Arent plus 2's for our car 215, 50, 17's?...so for plus 3 It would be 215, 45, 18...? I'd like 220's but thats too big for the 3.2's wheel well I think....

 

Rims look good. Good choice.

 

oops, you are right. I have 215/50's and that is plus 2. And if u wanted 18's then i think its 215/40-18's. Thats what tire rack says. I dont know why I put 55's but they are 50's. My bad.

 

Looks good!! I originally wanted a white but that on was too expensive compared to the one I just got.
