Default Got my wheels on.

It's getting close to where I want it, got a ways to go yet. I need to take it to the body shop to have the front bumper repaired (those aluminum bars you see are hiding a nasty secret thanks to the original owner). Click my cardomain link for mods if you're curious.

The car looks good dude. Spray those aluminum bars satin black or gloss so they blend a little better. Just mask off the surrounding area's and spray!!

It's been in storage since September, I just pulled it out for a quick picture. I'll have a different plate bracket eventually.

I might, not 100% sure. The roads out here where I live aren't the greatest. If I do, it'll be a minor drop.

The nice thing about them is you can't see them under the car cover I'll be removing them in the summer and having all the black on my front bumper repainted, including having the holes for the license plate bracket filled.



Thanks for the kind words everyone.
