Hey, what size are those tires? It does look very good and IMO doesn't need a drop.
I was actually worried that a +35 offset wheel 8.5 inches wide would stick out too much and look like crap. But it came out real nice as evident by some of the angular shots. They are still a little tucked under the fenders which is what you aim for!

Not much of a tuck for sure, but yeah they're definately still under the wheel wells. I like the stance now, it looks a bit more aggressive from the front and rear.

BTW, not a factory, it's the Engineering HQ for a manufacturing company. We don't make anything here, just design and test. Like all other MFR's these days, the product building takes place in Mexico, India, and China.

Thanks for the props!
Went with 18's because of potholes and ride comfort. Too many guys are complaining that thier expensive 19's are always getting bent and cracked.
I won't lower it for a lot of reasons, mostly because I don't need issues with warrantees and because we get some crappy (SNOWY) weather in the winter.

BTW I like the stock rims, can't tell if there's a lot of brake dust on them.

I personally belong to the camp that freakin hates those OEM rims. THUS the new wheels.

Yeah, I agree it is nice to see another MRP. Fact is the reason I bought this color (they had all of them on the lot when I chose it) was because aside from the KBP it's the rarest of TLS's. I like it being hard to spot! I've only seen one other on the road, and it was a TL base. I love the WDP and NBP but there are a lot of 'em around.
Anyhow, I like being a member of the more 'elite' MRP Club.

hey, that baby looks MEAN. Instead of a drop (IMHO, it'll looks better either way), what you really need is a Corsa or HKS exhaust to make it sound as beautiful as it looks. It kinda looks like a Ferrari. and the best part is, if you have a kid that goes to that school (or any school, for that matter) you will definetely get all eyes (and ears, if you get the exhaust)

wrong.
I purchased some led replacements that actually dont light up but the DRL light doesnt come on.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=200144714943
the bulbs dont work because the polarity is backwards but i didnt want drls anyway so I didnt fix the wiring.
In case the link does not work the auction title was....
2pcs HB3 9005 Fog 1W High Power LED (Xenon White) Bulb

No you are not, but not much we can do about it without the idiot light coming on in the dash
