No more Pin Stripe! It was flaking off, I think it looks “More clean” now

^^snow tires in Florida??

Not feelin the kit, but the car does look cleaner without the stripe. That's the first 'mod' I did to my car

As for wheels, I'd suggest the Mille Miglia Evo 5 knock-offs on Tire Rack. I think they look damn good on a white max

Yes, why do you need "snow tires" in Florida?

its all by VIS, the front is their R34 knock off

I bought it from a kit dealer in caly, said it was molded in the US

They are great if you use some boat fiberglass on them!

my '96 is black, and it had one pink pin stripe and one gray one. It was the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

It is a pain in the butt, 2 hour job
Soak the pin stripe in decal remover, this will not harm the paint
Carefully lift the pin stripe with a dull razor blade, sharp ones will cut into the paint more I found,
Scrub remaining residue with more decal remover and polish

I followed this with several coats of wax but I am a wax ***** and prob wax the car every other week

FYI I am ok with the quote I get to see my car more :-)

too many folks making worthless comments.

phenryiv1, you could edit that post.

capital15, glad you don't like the wheels. how about you make a recommendation with that flame? that dude may like his car, just as you might like yours.

so give some input, don't just speak of how much you hate something on someone elses car. my bad, i spoke out again before making a donation. disregard this post.

I had white Motegi 5 spoke's on my pearl 96. Been a while though and do not see the style on their site anymore. Anyway, I loved the look of white rims on a white car, it was a pain in the azz to keep them clean though.
