you need to space front wheels more, I think it looks weird with the back wheels being where they are, and fronts sunken in that much. But other than that, nice car. SSM FTW haha

they don't have holes in the back of them where the studs can go? Weird. I was planning on running some spacers on my wheels too but never checked if they have those holes or not.

Car looks good but you should raise the front a little to even it out with the back OR lower the back to even out with the front IMO. The car looks weird like that. And I'm not a fan of those big exhausts either. You should change it.

But besides those things, the car is looking good.

How wide of rims do you have in the back? spacers? they look like they fill out the well pretty good.

originally all 4 rims are 8 inches wide. i threw on some 25mm spacers for the backs which makes them about 9 inches wide. i cant remember exactly whatt he offset is though

Wow, car looks great!

May I ask what you used to black out your front grill?

Paint, or vinyl?

Did you also paint the whole grill, or just the middle bar?

I like the fitment of the rear wheels, can you layout your setup (wheels, drop, etc.) for us? You said you have 8" with spacers but those wheels look wider than 8", especially in the rear.

Looks clean man...the front wheel does look a little sunken in though.

thanks man, the wheel are kyowa evolves in matte black. they are 8 inches wide with an offset of 38 i believe. for the drop i have tein basic coilovers with about a 2 1/2 inch drop i think. exhaust is greddy evo 2, full aspec kit, 35% tint all around including windshield and then other little stuff here and there. i do have 25mm spacers on the back wheels which gives them that nice stance you are talking about. i want to put the 15 mm spacers back on the front but its to much of a pain cutting the studs so the wheels will fit and then rolling the fenders. the back fenders were rolled also.

also thanks everyone for the comments and compliments!

Nice pictures, the car looks good. My only gripe is that it's hard to see the style of the wheels because they are black.

Damn why is SSM so good looking?

You might want to clean the leather on your driver's seat. It looks a bit greasy. I use lexol and it'll make your leather look new if you use it enough.
