I raised it just 1.5", check out the pics below.

I sold my quad retrofits in Feb.
Thanks!
I actually got the WW rear in the BM, so keep you eyes peeled!

Thank you. But kudos to my retrofitter for doing an amazing job.

Nah i dont plan on tinting my windows, but if i do it will be like 50% tint.


I miss how stockies look on my ride, they fill in the wheelwell more than my 18s, my car looks lower now, even tho I raised the front a bit

damn, I have to take my summer wheels off now too. I have been putting it off for as long as I can but it is getting cold fast in CT. I really need to do it this weekend, hope it doesn't snow here before then

say i dropped my car 2.0 inches in the front and 1.75 in the rear - keeping the stock oem rims but mount 205/50/16inch tires on them instead of the 205/60/16inch oem . would that look funny? cus a thinner tire looks better. but i dont know how that would look because it wont fill the wheel well as much but then again it would be dropped.

the tires you have on ur winter oem wheels look to be 60 not 50. and it looks pretty good but with the drop, but if u were to put a 50 on there i would need some help trying to picture that. and i am also thinking that a 50 might make the car sit to low for a 2.0 inch drop. bigger rim can take a smaller tire, but a small rim with a small tire might not be alway good.
im short on cash now and i want a better look (thinking 50's with a drop) - not the 4x4 oem look.

thanks

Just dont opt for 50 series sidewall tires, they are generally more expensive and your speedometer is gonna be off by quite a bit. I'd stick to stock tires size with a drop.

VoLLy, did you sell your quad retro's to a guy in the GTA with a NBP?!?

VoLLy

iTrader: (8)

I sure did (back in feb). He used to have a SSM, but he re-painted it. Did you see him recently?

Me0w

iTrader: (12)

haha what a coincidence.. i seen him back in the spring/summer time.. my tl was basically stock during that time.. when i saw it i thought he had the sickest tl in the world lol
i was tellin my buddys about it all day.. yeah thats the story lol

Me0w

now that i think about it.. i dont remember what he had done.. it just looked like a real clean nbp, night rider look, it was the lights that blew me away though

Oh, im suprised he still has em, the last time i talked to him, he said he was going to take the quad retro apart and make "an Audi R8 style" headlight, whatever that means. He's just basically kitted, with retros, tint and stock type-s rims the last time i saw him.

I like my current setup better than my old one tho

gold2003tl (90)

yea i am going to refinish my stock rims and keep the oem tire size. ill just drop it with springs. thanks for ur help. ill post some pics when i do it.

gold2003tl (90)
