After 3 years ..

I finally mustered enough willpower to save for these.





19x8 Ace Allure
+43 offset
235/35/19 General Exclaim UHP

Pardon the shitty pics, was raining last night .. Rolled the fenders to get 'em to fit, but they look pretty damn good to me. The rusted calipers take the sexiness down a notch, but that's also cool because my rotors seem to be warping. There's an excuse for some Rotoras.

oh shit another pdg.....anyways rims don't look bad and I like the drop. Do you have any more pic of the car. Would like to see the fron't (custom grills without fogs) and the rear (current pics look like that exhaust is sticking way out). Also wouldn't mind seeing this subtledreamer custom LED shift indicator (auto? why?). If you can post them up or please PM them to me on here. Thanks in advance. Clinton

Wish granted. Here goes!





Last pic was taken a few years ago, the exhaust suffered some hard times since then .. the very tips of the exhausts started to peel its chrome exterior, so I was forced to shave the chrome off the tips. Looks quite a bit uglier, probably gonna replace the tips themselves with something else. And for some reason, I can't find the one pic of my shift indicator .. I'll retake one in a bit.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I love PDG! You car looks good. I am going to own PDG one day... Though picking rims for that color seems pretty damn hard.

Those rims look exceptional on your car. Nice choice.
Looks like it was well worth the wait.

My grill was custom-made.
I didn't wanna go chrome because PDG already sticks out .. didn't wanna make it "worse" haha.
As far as '03 headlights, I might do that down the road, I'm not sure .. although I'm more leaning towards painting the housings gold. But at the same time, I don't wanna copy Farabeast's car, which has gold headlight housings -- I already have the same wheels he does and I didn't know until recently lol.
Oh, and apologies for not taking a pic of the LED shifter. I've been busy since it's finals week, so every extra thing on my mind is being pushed out ..

Didn't I? What did you do with the plastic fender guards though? I don't like how my intake is exposed to the elements in front of my wheels ..

Here's some pics I took yesterday, had a quick wash. Detail is being done tomorrow, finally .. Since school is OUT.




And yes I know .. My car is Dent City.

Im surprised your hitting the inner fender lining, must be the slightly wider tire. My back tires sidewall & fender only have about a 1/16 of an inch gap between them. Turning when the fronts down way too low is slowly burning through my front fenders lining.

Give us a little more info on your fender problem, maybe me or someone else here can help.

I actually don't have the fender linings in; I took them off before I got my fenders rolled so the body shop could work easier and it was lighter on my wallet as well. When I tested the fitment of the wheels before having the fenders rolled, I saw that the tires were pretty close to hitting the top part of the lining, so I thought it'd be better if I took them off and left it as it is. Yes, the wider tires are the culprit.

I'll go ahead and put the linings back in tomorrow and see how it is, I'm just worried it'll start rubbing like hell in the front when I hit a bump or something. But if you're having minimal problems, then it should be the same case with me.

I have about the same amount of space between the rear tires and fenders btw, and I started rubbing like when I had stuff in the trunk or passengers in the back .. I recently found out what was causing it, was a fairly obvious thing.

Shopping carts, doors swung open, and in one case a baseball bat by someone who was looking for a fight.

I went ahead and took the drivers side lining out today. I thought it went well until I entered the freeway and all I heard was wind wooshing between the door frame and body. Plus my CAI is completely open and can be seen through the well.

Yeah it's quite a hassle for the linings to be out while you're on the freeways, I still haven't put them back in for a test run. Plus the idea of having my CAI completely out there is a little scary.
