What do you guys think?

well yesterday I finally found time to get some stuff done to my car... I installed my tails, sidemarkers, philips 85122's,decklid spoiler, and last but not least my cold cold air intake.. which surprisingly turned out to be a pain in the ass .. but I got it worked out... my advice would be buy your intake new.. that way you have instructions and the complete kit... DIY video wasnt too helpful.. anyway let me know what yall think.. idk about the tails I think ill tint them or something they seem to stick out, maybe im just not used to them yet. I have H&R sports on the way that I ordered 3 weeks ago.. National backorder .. and I bought an aspec lip kit from ACK last week.. still no reply from him money sent.. where are ya ack? haha.. anyway here ya go...


.... dont pay attention to the hooptie in the background ..dad's rebuilding an old lady's motor.. and dont pay attention to my tag either

Looks pretty good. Not a big fan of the rims, but then again I don't like any 5 spoke rim. Keep up the great work

Nice work, but im definately not a fan of those wheels. Some simple gunmetal A-spec's would do, but that's just me.

@imabeast....you're a fucking beast!
how long have you had the car, and look at all these mods!

you have more aesthetic mods than I do.
the wheels look great from afar! they look similar to stock except for the concavity( or is it convex???) which is what takes away from them up close.
all in all very nice car!

play on player.

Nice ride...the tails look really good. How do you like the 85122's?

I personally cringe when I see TL's with big chrome wheels, but if you like em, rock em.

thanks justin.. here lately ive been adding a little hp too.. with the j pipe and all.. so whenever you wanna race im ready man haha.. but I have to fix a leaking valve cover gasket first dripping oil down onto my exhaust making it smoke like a biatch.. embarrassing. and I cant find a DIY anywhere ..

actually I was hoping to get some flat faced wheels about like that.. but I settled, no patience what so ever. But ive been thinking about a wheel change anyway, depending on how it looks with the drop

thanks, and the 85122's are like night and day compared to the factory HID's worth every penny. Something i should have done a long time ago. And your right about the wheel thing different folks different strokes i think is the saying lol... Its crazy because I cringe at some of the lightweight racing type wheels i see sometimes too.. but some have grown on me so who knows...

i think it looks much better than stock... at the end of the day its your car and you have to look at it and drive it everyday so if you aren't happy with them then get them tinted

it wasnt about the cash I wasnt on a budget or anything I also wanted 20's because at the time I wasnt interested in a drop and I wanted there to be the least amount of inner fender well showing as possible.. and most of all I just wanted it to look good. But thanks for the pic man.. ill keep these in mind for future reference

It's just a personal preference. I don't really think they look good on any car, so nothing against you. Everything else is looking sharp though.

I love the stock rims.. like I said I had no real plans of changing them.. but wasnt interested in lowering it and I wanted something to fill most of the wheel gap 20's.. and these were 5 spoke like the stockies.. and they had the black in them which was perfect since at the time I was going with a darker theme for the car

That's my fave wheel from them thus far, but it'll have to be on my S5 one of these days lol.

And yeah, I've found some really nice Type-Ss online but they're nowhere in GA. I'll have to ask one of the members from the state I've narrowed it down to to go to the dealership to look it over for me.
