I had so much hope coming in here. Those wheels are horrible and completely kill the look of the car.

Great shots! The first shot looks great-your tires are blacked out really well.

Don't worry about that douche, he never has anything nice to say. On top of that, he never posts pics of his car so we can criticize him.

Looks good Darkness

Your wheels are ugly as fuck. I hate you and the fact that you ruined your car with disgusting wheels. They look like you got them out of super street magazine.

My car? It's a 2007 CBP TL-S with OEM window visors and Aspec kit. Few exhaust and suspension goodies. Just enough to make it fun.

I hate all the dick riding that goes on around here. His wheels are ugly so I'm telling him. Other cars I love on here.

Darkness (brothers?)...I think it looks good, not my style, per se but I don't think the punishment fits the crime with that criticism!

Thanks! Im a big fan of 5 spoke design wheels. My next set of wheels will either be TSW Mirabeau or Vossen CV3's. In a much wider width than what Im currently running, and lower offsets.

TSW


Vossen

Thanks dude! I do feel like the wheels are a dated look, but they are better than rolling around on my beat up stockers!

it's making a squeaky sound?







Okay...had to...
Well, it DEFINITELY sounds like rubber so you have to figure out what's associated with rubber AND turning the wheel. The steering endlinks? Is there rubber? Endlinks for the front sway bar, springs seated right? I'm not sure otherwise...you need to jack up and see if it does it under no load...take off rim and see if it does it without the rim...if so, get your head in there and have your gf turn the wheel so you can see exactly where it's coming from.

J.

Also...dude, if you hate the black barrel vossen...have you seen the guy that has "VOSSEN" decals ON the black barrel? Not to talk ish, but man did I despise that look!

I found out it was the lower control arm bushings making the noise.

On another note, made a short exhaust vid today. Enjoy.

Went for a nice trip to Kelowna, B.C. over the past weekend after doing a bunch of maintenance including new front control arm bushings, inner/outer tie rods, upper/lower ball joints, new passenger axle, and a fresh alignment. The car rode like a dream through the Canadian Rockies, couldn't be more satisfied with this car





I find my car to be pretty damn low for being just on Tein S-tech springs

dat KBP

To each his own, but I'm diggin the wheels. Definitely gives the car a different look though, I don't think I could bring myself to ever swap out the stock Type S rims.

The aspec kit w/ the yellow fogs on kbp is really, really nice.

Decided to go back to the Okanagan this past weekend, except this time to Pentiction, B.C.

Really racking up the mileage on this car! Going to be adding another 7000 KM's or 4000 Miles for you americans :P. Heading down to Mexico for a beer, then two nights in Vegas and back to Canada!

Pentiction B.C.!



Just after the Alberta border in the Rockies by Jasper, AB.



And home!

Dude the wheels were no good when I got them and only have gotten worse, the clear coat is peeling on all the wheels, and the lips are soo pitted, I may get them refinished this winter if I dont end up buying new wheels.

Indeed they are. I want the lips refinished smooth, and get them polished to a chrome finish. The faces of the wheels are in great shape.

Crazy you're driving all the way down to Mexico?!? That has to be one insane road trip.

Btw is your left fog light dead? Mine has been acting up lately. Sometimes one bulb turns on and sometimes it doesn't. Turning the fogs off and back on fixes it. Ballast issue perhaps?
