Default !side molding + new wheels

These are not the best photos I have taken, but I was not really in that kind of mood.

The location kind of sucked, but it was getting dark and I had no other place in mind. Car is leaning a bit, and make it look higher on the pass. side than what it really is.

Thanks everyone

Yeah, the calipers are painted orange, and are a bit dirty. They could use a real good cleaning, and a re-paint. I was expecting everyone too say lower it. It is a work in progress, like most cars.

side markers are just the black ones, not nightshaded.

The car looks so much cleaner with out the side molding. It was very easy. Just grab a hair dryer, and heat up the pieces. Then grab a corner and peel back... I would go slow. Used my thumb to remove excess glue, and then just wipe it down with some detailer spray to remove the left over dirt. No color difference under the molding at all.

I think the wheels look great man. Would actually like to see more pics of that wheel at different angles. Is the back lip bigger?
