yea I agree with Josh, looks good till I saw the rims. I..................probably would've bought stock type s rims. I probably would've lowered the car with the money before buying those rims. On a bright note, thats a good deal on that car! good buy

because i'm just stating my opinion about them..

which is they look bad. and I would have stayed with stock until i can afford something else

but in your opinion, they look good. thats all..


people voice their opinions here.. if they don't like it, they will say that.. get used to it. its serious business.

Agree with everyone, nice until I saw the last pic. But it's your car and that's all that matters!

Man it looks like a 4x4, is that what my ride looked like before I lowered it? I don't really like the rims either, but maybe after you lowered it, they MIGHT somewhat better.

Black out headlights and drop it asap.

Wheels..........as long as you like it.

Just keep it clean on the outside, cream on the inside and don't drop any icecream.

i agree with what everybody else has said about your car .. that last pic really killed it though ..

if you like it .. then that's all that matters .. just get a drop .. you'll fall in love with it more

oh yeah .. i realize your right exhaust sticks out WAY more than your left

For the person that said my right exhaust is longer...its just the angle the photo was taken. i know it looks like a 4X4 thats why I wanna drop it. I know someone who can do it for me he just said for me to buy the coilovers...anyone know where i can get some for a good price?

The guy said to black out the headlights which on this forum most likely means to open your headlights up and paint the interior chrome piece black. make sure you don't paint ur reflectors! Wheels are not the best for this car but i guess when you drop it it will look a little different

spoiler, get some wheels that are the same size and width so you can re-use the tires.

those wheels are hideous man. sorry.

to tinted headlights
to cleared headlights w/ amber strip removed

as for coilovers.. depends which brand you're looking for. function & form type 1 is the best bang for your buck. if you're interested.. PM Thomas (mrchan625) about them. He'll help you out.
