Ill add to the bashing. LOL.

Your car isn't "one of a kind". It looks very very similar to every other pewter TA on here. The hood doesn't look good at all, the wheels are boring and played out, the ride height is too high, and the calipers are the wrong color.

Your car is clean, but needs some work to look good to me.

I guess you havent seen the big notice at the top asking you to "follow these steps" to search? I'm just kidding!

There is nothing wrong with 9.5 wheels on the back, but the backspacing of yours make it look funny. If you lower the car, it will be a lot more obvious. You COULD get some spacers for that if you wanted to. The calipers dont match anything else on the car..........at all. The disks ARE on the wrong side. If it was me, I would have replaced the hood before new wheels.

Everyone knows the economy sucks. However, you have the money for a DD and a "toy", not to mention money for new rims. You sound like a nice guy, take the comments, good and bad. You asked for them.

Rims look good, get some of the black plastic nuts to cover those stock lugs though and a logo'd centercap, that will help with the direction you're going.

You commented just to bash my car. There is no reason for that. Constructive criticism is fine. Your post = being a dick.

You haven't driven it, so how would you know about seeing over it. I see over it just fine, so your "impossible" is very possible, so don't open type something if you don't know what you're talking about.

+1 that just looks totally out of hand

anything more than like 2" cowl begs the question, why? My superhawk hood already sticks up enough where I wouldn't want anything more than that.

only thing that can justify it is a big *** car setup and single digit times.


as for the wheels, I do think they look nice, although i agree the pewter/black/red is a bit clashing.

I would totally get torn a new on in here with my little *** 18x8s....working on getting that taken care of though.


also pretty sure your front rotors are backwards.....

No. I like constructive criticism. I have no problem with it. It's just when people purposely bash for no reason or just for fun that makes me mad. Especially since this is a month old thread.

What does the thread being a month old have to do with anything?

Either way, I believe that the majority of the posts in this thread are 'constructive criticism'. IE. "the calipers dont match the car", " the hood is too damn big" etc etc. Unfornately for you, they're comments that you obviously didn't want to hear, but they are "constructive".
