Having instant access is very important. What if your headlights both suddenly go out and it's really dark outside and you're on the wrong side of town and you happen to have an extra bulb that you ordered ahead of time for just such an occasion? Who's laughing then?

Atilla is a G, he isn't worried about what side of town he is on no matter what time it is.

Yes I have. It's no different than Detroit, LBC, NYC, Baltimore, East Los, etc. etc.

But it gets more bad press. Always on that damn list every year. Ooh, the east side is the most dangerous place in the country. Look at us.

Mr_Pieper, I'm not sure about aggressive lip thread, most of my car is balanced and overall aggressive. + I am from Downtown and SW Detroit. St. Louis ain't ****.

I know but it always wins on that list published every year and it has the most murders per square mile or something. I don't count East St. Louis as part of St. Louis anyway because it is in a different state. The rest of the StL is pretty casual. Except for all those damn cobblestones down by the riverfront.

How about some more pics?

my inner liner on the drivers side is completely gone. i figure i should fab up a little plate to protect the wires for the lights from becoming completely disintegrated from the tire.

Aggressive wheel pics tend to become off topic around here.

Cats are people, too. So why can't Honda punks live like people?

That's not nearly enough camber for this thread. I bet the whole width of the tire is touching the ground. It does qualify for the chin spoiler thread, though.

+1 w/9k

@ bad press

Don't base your opinion of how dangerous a place is simply by what the media says. Just because the media doesn't report all the dangerous events in an area doesn't mean its not incredibly dangerous. Its just considered 'nothing new' - it's not "news". I still strongly believe some parts of LA are more dangerous than people understand because people still get shot for wearing the wrong colors at night but the press won't care because its been happening for about 30 years.

NY/Detroit/ATL/STL/LA - it doesn't matter. Just as a rule to keep in mind, never underestimate the idiocy of stupid people in large numbers.

Yeah if he can afford the wheel he can afford to get the bumper repaired and to get a decent exhaust. It would really clean up the car.

I hear you Atilla. I was trying to ooze sarcasm and apparently failed.

There comes a time when you have to stop drilling holes for zip ties and buy a new bumper. Possibly BEFORE the fancy photo shoot. The wall will still be there next week.
