Pics of my clear lights and 18" rims... (finally)

Ok, sorry this took so dang long... I really really need a digital camera. Something went wrong and it took me forever to get these processed, and they didn't even come out that good...
Anyway, here they are.

Do you have any pics that show of your rims better? Do you get any tire rub with those wheels and other passengers in your car?

Buddy said LA cops were getting heavy and pulling/hassling people without front plates

they want all the $$$ from the stop light radar. They could just hold the light green, but we all know they make $$$. If they make $$$, then the copsters go for the $$$

ARE you sure about the $10.

Is that $10 1st time, 2nd time, 3rd time, etc.

I'm very tempted to take the phoney fogs out too, but I think rather than filling up the holes, it would be better to use them for something useful, like cooling ducts for the brakes.

Your car looks great without the foglights. Has more of an agressive look. Would the opening actually help the cold air intake?

Am I the only one that notices his body part next to the road lamp is silver? The little strip that is between the middle and the roadlamp housing.
hey Akim did you photoshop it or paint that portion for real?

excellent looking ride...without the "fogs" it looks more like the last gen CL

BTW, I'm calling photoshop on this one. It was the first thing I noticed looking at the pic.
