Going to look good man, looking forward to seeing this outcome. I much prefer this brighter color wheel on your car color...gotta have that contrast. I'm a big fan of this rim design too, I think it was the Avant Garde M310 that first made me notice the design and I've liked it ever since.

I hear ya, I'm not a big fan of dark wheels in general, especially on a CBP. I've always loved this style wheel, can't believe I didn't go with forgestars after all the praise I've given them but I'm certainly happy with my final decision. thanks everyone for the support!

Wash it in the rain, the rain water doesn't have most of the minerals found in tap water that leave water marks. Then you don't have to bother with drying.

Wait, which Justin is this? Austin, help?

Okay, I didn't want to comment yet but fk you. I hate you. You officially have one of my favorite looking TL's on the forum. Absolutely incredible combination of wheel on car color. I do wish you terrible diarrhea in traffic for making me jealous. That said, congrats, man...you're doing things right. I know a lot of people love VIP and big lips and dishes some need massive concave or extreme camber or the car laying on frame to think it's nice...but for ME and MY style...this car is absolutely it. It will pain me to get into my POS for the drive home today.

Looks sick, perfect stance IMO.

What are those little holes next to the lug holes? Is it for a different lug pattern?

Yes, Justin, I have the right guy.
I'd compliment the other one but his car is always on jacks and he rarely takes pictures of it.

1, carbon bronze pearl is and always will be my favorite car. 2, the rim selection and color just match perfectly. Absolutely perfectly blend of two metal alloy looking colors perfectly complimenting each other. I am in love with it. Not like my old junker But I DO appreciate the sentiment. Just kidding, boo...you know I love you!!! (in case she's listening)

The ONLY thing I'd agree with you about is the 6MT. I love that and wouldn't trade it for the world. I had the option to pick up a CBP 6MT Type S once...I owed 12K on my car and they wanted 27K for it. It was filthy inside, I could tell it had been in an accident, the Navi drive didn't work and had a new clutch at 41K miles. I was like, fk that...couldn't justify pulling the trigger. In hindsight I'm sure I'd have had it paid off too but they only wanted to give me 8k for my car (of course) and I wasn't comfortable owing 31K on a car that was questionable AND basically the same thing as mine (for all practical purposes). So I've just convinced myself that I'm happy and my car is fine. No payments for over a year now, can't go wrong.

But I can still admire from afar.
