Nice drop, I hope you raised it a bit because I don't know what would happen if you hit a pebble riding that low. Looks nice though!:flamer:

i debadged it the day i got it from the dealership...no one needs to know its a tls

i love the way they look. especially since the car is black. matches handles toooo...that is why i never had any intention of getting regular wheels...the look isnt the same.

ive thought about it, but the mud flaps scrap alot cause of how low it is, so a kit is out of the question. im gonna get rid of the mud flaps and touch up all the nicks and such though

So I looked at how much you dropped the car and I must ask - when you have passengers in the car, doesn't it drop even more? And with the rear tire being so close to the wheel well, how does that work out for you?

so far it has worked out just fine. as long as it doesnt rub...thats all that matters. im probably gonna raise the rear end a little more though, if it bottoms out too much when i go down bumpy streets(i havent yet)

Maybe the rims look good in person, but if a picture is worth a thousand words then....
Love everything else about the car though.
