Personally, I would have gone with 19's (at least) especially with the design of your wheels. If you want 18's, go with a design with no lip, but then the grills won't match. Grills look better than chrome.

i know , i will for the summer, this was acutlly a quick fix from splitting the right driver side whole rim in half yesterday, took the rims back to the place i bought them, they swaped out some new 18's and swiched my tires over , was just a quick fix so i dont have to wait 2 weeks for 1 rim to come.

indeed the grille looks much better blacked out. Honestly, it's still not my favorite look but atleast your different. And you should invest in some lowering springs or coils!

the grill is nice before and after.

I like the grill. I am thinking about getting the whole set top and bottom. I can tell we have similar taste. Most people on this site doesnt do the chrome look its cool. They tend to go with the racey ricey look. Nice work on the car.

I showed your tail lights to my attorney friend and she was licking her lips. She would soooo love to represent the guy that hits you in the rear end. Oh, and nice grill!

this car used to look nice at some point when it had a-specs/blackout grill

this looks some shit id expect to find parked on the street in brooklyn like 10 years after release because someone could finally afford to get one used and proceed to put as much chrome on it as they could

not feelinnnn

Yea, the way your car was in this thread...pretty nasty. But now that you've put your stock grille back on, black it out, changed your wheels, etc...much better!!!!

older than you probably
and yes reallu

and yeah i vaguely remember seeing your car and thought it looked good, then i saw this and couldnt believe people were complementing this look

in general some shit on this forum that gets praised is fucking ugly (not in reference to you). i dont spend enough time on acurazine anymore to really give a fuck these days

lol i hope u older than me... the way u express your self over someone else' car and mod is ridiculous.... and since when does spending time on acurazine became a job, people on this forum spend their time on this to learn and to see everyone else mods and point of views other than your self....

I bet that grille would look nice if it was all black, and had a ronjon style bar across it.
