Man, I love it!! looks so good. I wanna set now!! lol.

Are they painted or plastidipped? Black out the headlights!!!

they are plasti dipped. they were originally painted phantom gray pearl but when i picked them up they had paint chips everywhere so i just decided to temporarily plasti dip them black.

blacked out headlights should be done soon!

O I see, good man! That'll bring together the darkened look a lot!

thanks. and yeah the yellow fogs are always a yes or no to some people. i was actually thinking of taking off the film and putting 5ks in them but i haven't really wanted to put time into that at the moment.

a few more things i got planned is more low, paint my headlights black. projectors some long ways down the road, tint, upgrade sound system, and maybe maybe do some interior work.

i took off the rear visors because the tape was wearing out and one side was sagging a little bit. also because i was going to get my windows tinted but never got around to doing that.

I'm sure a few members would hate me for saying this, but I think the car looks perfectly low as it is. Anything more seems unnecessary and sounds uncomfortable.

A window tint should nicely clean things up. I'd suggest you find a way to secure the rear visors back on to maintain uniformity across the sides of the vehicle.

Aside from that, best of luck with the rest. :thumbsupsmiley:

nice i like the wheels ;) look good in black with your car

I hate you too. Well ur the one that started it anyway...

no spacers... i'll just wait until i get some new rims and get the right size/offset.

They look pretty flush to start. Pic of it showing the flushness? Having them be that flush without spacer would be awesome. They are better than the XRS OEM 17's I had anyway...

Are they as heavy as the XRS 17's?

Planned on dipping the wheels again but thought I would try a different color. I was going to go with white but decided I would try this color instead. In the end it's easily removed :)
