Updated Pics..

So last year in december I bought some wheels because I thought they'd
look nice but I did not like them and took them off the first day. I've been
trying to sell them and have had no luck. Last week I got a flat and did not
have time to go to a tire shop and get my four tires replaced so I quickly put
the wheels on to go to work. Lately I;ve been so busy that I still have not
gone to get new tires. But I think I'll leave them on until I purchase new
wheels and tires even though I don't really like the these.

Here are some pics I took today before I have to go to work.

Those wheels aren't so bad, they seem to kinda grow on me the more I look at 'em, nice stance. They really don't make your car look any worse, it's an awesome looking ride.

Most definitely, I'm doing well, just busy working
myself, and studying. Life should loosen up for me
in the next 3 months though. My car's still bone stock.

The rim looks pretty good I think, but if you don't like it, change it.

save. I really need to think about how I spend my money
now that everything is all F!%ked up. Hope you are doing
good.

Thanks, it could be that my car is not dropped enough or even the way
they look at certain angles. I dunno but it is something. I am going to
go with something with a lip next time. I was experimenting with a different
look than the whole lip thing, but I like lips better. I was inspired by seeing
a M3 with the M6 wheels on it.



I wanted a similar look but without going 5 spoke. Maybe 5 spokes would
look better.

Those look nice!

That's not an OEM front bumper is it? I'm so used to seeing mine with a license plate on the front, it's hard to tell. The LED fogs look amazing!

Thanks

I have a-spec sides and rear. I want to, but probably never will. I need to
cut down on all expenses, especially stuff like modding, eating out and
just plain spending money on things that I don't need or that dont make
me money.

If I had the money I'd get coilovers and slam my car, full mugen kit, ducktail spoiler
carbon fiber roof, hood, trunk, 06' jdm headlights, some hre's and I'll call it done.

How did you go about installing the custom fitted LED? DIY?

I soldered each LED into a custom PCB with 470ohm resistors and had them mounted to a custom made acrylic baffle. All holes in the acrylic were drilled in a precise angle so that the light is aimed perfectly. It took a week through trial and error to get them right and takes two to three days to complete a set because of time needed to let glue, paint and silicone to dry. Everything was made by my father and I at his home. To make them you need a drill press, a table saw, a band saw, soldering iron , some skills and patience.. I was going to market and sell them but it was not worth it. I even applied for a patent because of how serious I was about doing this but forget it. A lot of stuff happened I didnt get the patent and I just got turned off by the whole idea..
