Mounted: Bronze Nurgburgring

You guys requested some pics...here ya go...







What do you guys think? Dropped on Tein S...may need to roll my rear driver side fender.

Love the look. The flat bronze is very chameleon like - dark brown indoors, and bright gold in direct light.

The yellow fog overlays really clash now. I may ditch them.

Looks great. The yellow fogs don't really flow IMO.

yup. think im going to pull the overlays. although the daytimes and fogs are yellow bulbs, so the theme isnt going to change much by pulling off the overlays. but at least it would look cleaner without them when the lights are off.

Yea, its the lens thats screwing you up. Yellow bulbs are hot, overlays not so much.

The rest of the car looks gorgeous. Get some pics in the sun.

It sounds like your kidding, but I'll just state the obvious anyway, do you really want someone else to touch your car?

Is there any affordable lip kit for the front bumper? I generally don't like IS too much because it looks a little too vanilla.

But the rim set up looks great man!

Love the color and the style , beside taking off the overlays I would suggest also taking off the headlight eye brows They make the car look like a 4 door scion tc.

The Nurburgrings are definitely my first choice when I do get wheels. Not only do they have the impossible 5x120 pattern I need, but TSW says they will clear my calipers.

Great job! They look really good and have only furthered my desire to own them.


JnC, this car has 4 doors?

I just came a little. I think with a few more mods the yellow overlays will flow a little better. However, they don't look too yellow to me?

Should I break it down for you?


IS has four doors
tC has two doors

If IS with eyelids/brows looks similiar to tC.

And IS has four doors

IS with eyebrows look like tC with four doors.

Nice.

...but to make it even better: delete goofy looking yellow fogs and headlight eyebrows.
