That does look great, especially with the color combo you have going on with your car. VERY nice!

Thanks! I've had that sticker on for 8 years and forget it is even there.. I think it looks naked without something up there.. I forgot what gave me the idea for that. If I recall it was on some project car when they where first coming out with the new body style in 98.

Splitter looks great man.

Hey, I've got an odd request though, those are Nitto NT01's arent they?

What size is in the rear? Can I get some pics of the tires from the rear/front. I am thinking about getting a set of 275/315's for the car. How do they ride/handle?

Yes, NT01's if you are going to Auto X the car and not street drive it a lot then they are great, handle awesome. Otherwise, if you are planning to put a lot of miles on the car with just street driving go with the NT-05's.. The ride is a bit rough, you can feel everything in the road and they pick up just about every little rock or debris in the road.. I really wouldn't recommend them for constant street driving. Some is ok, but that's about it.







I don't have a good back shot to show the width.. I will have to take one..

They are 275/315

Awesome man, yeah, get that rear shot if ya can.

Did you have any rubbing issues with them?

The car get's driven maybe 1k miles a year, if that. It's just a toy. I'm wanting to get set up with strano's setup and a nice set of handling tires. These seem to be awesome, just don't expect much life out of them and don't get caught in the rain is the responses I've been getting...

My entire suspension is all race setup so for me rubbing was not a problem because I was able to adjust everything easily. With a stock setup I am not sure if you will have rubbing issues or not. But the tires are awesome.. My car get's just about what you get on yours mileage wise, maybe less.. I'm only at 11,200 miles on a 2001..

Yeah, lol we're in about the same boat... I've got 17k on my 2002. It just doesn't get driven much. Just stays in the garage.

Nice. Your car looks great. Only thing I would do is a set of black corners and black rear bumper lights to go with the other black accents.

I've been looking for the smoked ones. I am not sure I want to completely black them out.. I should photoshop it to see what it looks like but that is a good idea to change that.
