They are holding up very well actually, not much rain in AZ but they do a great job of letting me crack my windows an inch or two without being completely obvious to thieves.

Thanks, my girlfriend almost had me convinced it was going to make my car look like rice but I thought the CF lips would tie it in alright.

If you say it looks good, thats all I need for confirmation, haha



Hey Sciontistical there was a topic like that, your not going crazy lol

Funny thing, her taste is great when it comes to the mods she plans for her car, but whenever I want to do something to my car she gets all pouty and says she wants her box to be "modded" too, lol.

She likes it though and said it looks alot better on the car than in the ad, plus I painted the grill inserts black. Chrome was terrible.

Onto the search for new wheels again, starting over with my options.



edit: also, what do you guys think about painting the sides FM (not very original, but I like it)? I'm undecided

Cool thanks, I am trying to decide which ones to get. Heard some bad things about them but also good things.

Thanks man. Your rife looks greta too, we're almost twins.

I like the style of them but the offset sucks, haha. I have pondered just getting wheelspacers for these and calling it even, but iduno


marx, yup I bought it...it was a good deal, so I figured why not. I painted the grills for the hood black but this weekend i'm thinking about doing plexi with some 3m doublesided tape to hold it in place. We'll see how that turns out.


DJ08tC, I like them... they are clean in-channel style and look/fit great.

captainlaziness, someone seems sauced. bottoms up! LOL, kidding.

I like the carbron viberz though, lol

if I paint anything it will be the overly-whored sides only type job. It's popular but I like it

I'd love to paint the whole car Tambora Flame
