Yea, it took me forever to get my hands on a digital camera so I took advantage of it. It was so easy to upload them and stuff I figured why not??

Thanks for the compliments

Whatever you do Luke don't buy a sony. I have their PC-110 Digital Camcorder with Karl-Zeiss Lens and everything (was the top a year ago when I bought it), and it just doesn't take clear pics. Resolution isn't very high either, not over 11XX.

EDIT: I just asked one of my electronics-knowledgeable friends and he said the Nikon Coolpix 4500 for $520 is an awesome camera. Also the Olympus Camedia D-550 for $300 is very good he says. Araffio I'll stop whoring up your thread now.

Also, I was on the cross island and the LIE with my sprints/koni, and it was a mess. Too many bumps all over.

They are the new ones. One of my old ones ripped off and broke, so I had to get a new pair. I also had to replace my clearance lights because the old eyelids were held on by glue, and I couldnt get the glue off the old clearance lights. I didnt mind getting new ones, they are crystal clear compared to the old ones.
I like the new design of the eyelids better anyway, more aggressive and better fitting.

Nice deep tone, not too loud, but not quiet at all. Combined with the 2.5" B-pipe, it drones a lot around 2500rpm. Overall I really like my exhaust setup (OBX muffler, custom b-pipe).
It looks A LOT like the Greddy Evo IMO...

The only thing I don't like about them is that it looks imcompelte. If they still make the original ones, I would just make them a two piece eyelid by cutting it so that it doens't overlap.

I would NEVER get the upper grille. It is way too much for my taste. Personally I happen to love the stock 97-99 body colored SE grille.
Sometimes less is more William, know what I mean?

Yea I know you had this head unit. You got it RIGHT after I did in February I think it was. My girl bought it for me for my birthday, I love it. She paid somewhere around $300 for it off eBay, I dont remember exactly how much though. It's well worth it.

My car will be featuring the same wheels in a few months. The car looks good araffio. Keep up the good work man. I'm liking just the Trenz Valance too.

Hey araffio,
I think your wheel/tires combo and the drop look outstanding. I have a couple of questions. How do you like the Sprints? Were there any alignment issues with a 2" drop? Any rubbing at all when the car is loaded down? Thanks.

Thanks bro. I've heard nothing but good things about just having the valance. I don't know of many others with the same set up.
You'll LOVE the wheels when you get them!

No, my car didn't come with the Bose. It came with the same head unit as the Bose (Double Din CD/Cassette), but some crappy speakers pushing like 25 watts each. I don't think you should have a problem putting this head unit in to replace your Bose head unit. You'd probably need a harness of some sort, but it should work fine.

I love the Sprints, so much better than the H&Rs as far as the drop goes, and the ride is MUCH stiffer. I wanted a harsch ride and great handling, thats what the Sprints give. I had my car aligned about 3 weeks after installing the Sprints, that way I'm not riding on the inside edges of my tires.
Dont worry about rubbing, I've never rubbed anywhere even with 3 people in the back. Sometimes I'll scrape driveways or speed bumps if they are big enough, gotta go sideways over them.




Thanks for all the compliments fellas

It's because they have no lip. The spokes (or whatever you wanna call them) go all the way to the edge of the rim.
