Falken Torque 5s + Nodic Green=
Well, here they are. I still can't post the pics so here are the URLs. I went with the Falken Torque 5s. The tires are 245/35/19s. I think they turned out great,with the dark color of my 8. I like the way the calliper reflects off the lip too. I'll try to get some better pics on a better day. I already had to wait 3 days for it to clear up. I also installed the chrome exhast finishers, but you guys have seen enough pics of those. lol. I guess I'm going to work on some spings, but with the tires I won't be able to drop it more then about a inch or so. Let me know what you guys and gals think. I'm sure I'll get my critics!

Cobalt....looks awesome!! What other mod plans do you have??? Diggin the yellow calipers. Looks like a slight drop would really take the look of you 8 to the next level. Nice one!!

Exhaust is definetly my next investment. Of course X-mas set me back a little, but it won't be to long. After that, a body kit is definetly on the list. I was really torn between wheels or a kit first, but I guess you see which one I chose first. I'm going to order the side strakes from D-Menace. Thinking about getting them in yellow to set the calipers off. What do you think?

He cobalt, those are nice rims. Ehhhh ... your rotors come off orange. Either its rust or just weird lighting. Nevertheless, nice calipers, it goes well with your dark 8.
No insult intended but yellow strakes would just be tacky.

Ok I just did a quick photoshop (I'm not that good at it). I used Adrian 1's black 8 because I couldn't find any greens with strakes in place and with calipers visible. Take a look.

I just bought caliper paint today as well. Mine will be red though.

With the gold flakes in the paint, the Green looks wonderful in person. Excellent at night since it kind of looks black too. Kind of like now the old FD Montego Blue used to look different with different light.
