Looks nice! The front looks nice and flush

I'm not a fan of the chrome, and i think your car would look hot if you had cf side skirts - but i don't think that's the topic here..

I'm diggin the over-all look tho.

Props!

p.s.-Did you preload the springs? just wondering

the sides are CF aero flares. i have a set of R-Magic sides but i'm still not sure what direction i wanna take with those.

i agree with the chrome. it was all on the car when i bought it and i kinda liked it when it was more stock but now its not going with the overall theme.

it still might look high because i haven't driven it after having it jacked up.

RMagic sides would look awesome IMO. I'm not sure how they would match up w/the burnout lip tho...

The car looks hot none-the-less.

i knew someone would say that. i liked them too, but these are much better tires and they are lighter than stock. also the same size all around will allow me to rotate tires now.

Look at the first pic. Dont tell me that doesnt look like a tmic scoop at first glance, cuz it does.


And if I had any bud, I would graciously pass the bowl.

But unfortunately, those days are LONG gone.

SSR's gotta be lighter than your old wheels. They also gotta be wider as well.

At the very least i would think your(nuke) new wheels would be a lateral move if anything.

I really like the new wheels.
