1lowls; do you have a clear picture of the front of your car?

I'd like to see a base model with an SS bumper but without the lip. I'm finding it relatively easy to buy the fascia, just not the lip...


--Nevermind; I went into your images...very lovely! haha; what did you use to do your evo mod?

i used all new napa gaskets when i put everything on, i was going to try to use exhaust wrap on all of the joints in the piping and see if that cures it, other than that i thought maybe the flex pipe got tweaked a little bit

Guys; I need your advice here.
I've been looking for new wheels in the springtime for a few months already, and I came across these tonight.

My ideal wheel would be one that either looks like emotion's cr-kai or volk te37s (exactly like nate's)

I KNOW these aren't the nicest wheels imo, but seriously; for 18s at 250$ for the set.... --you guys think they're worth it?

thanks actually!
if anyone else has feedback; let me know.


Without the covers they're not bad either...I have red muteki lugs so I want to show them off too

and as for the tires; I don't really care because most people selling with tires have like 35 or 40 profile with their 18s and that's too thin for me. I'll just get new tires; maybe some nankang II's or something.
