Nice H, looks sweet. Seems you have the same exhaust problem I had. Damn muffler is like 4" behind the end of the rear valance. The car looks sweet though. Btw how wide are the rims that you got 8" or 8.5"? The reason I ask it I dont know exactly how low you can go w/o any rubbin with the 8.5" wide rims. I dont know if you can sit on Sprints or Teins, they will definetly look better thats 4 sure.

Welcome to the gang although its just me and you in it. Those rims made your ride look bad ***. I wish I went with the 20's but 18's will do for now.

Just to give those who are asking about the sidemarkers a heads up a bit earlier. You use paint and remove the bulbs from the sidemarkers.

That grille was actually made for some type of Ford. I cut and trimmed it to fit my grille opening. I did have to cut the factory grille out...it was not that fun to do.

All I did was get some Night Shades tint and kept on spraying till I got my look. The front marker was sprayed, then I had some leftover vinyl sticker which I cut to mimic the rear marker. It works great...the front is no longer yellow when it lights up at night...its red just like the rear.

No **** you kept the lights functional? Steve used paint on his so obviously the light wont shine through his side markers are no longer funtional. Looks good though.

For the eyelids, I took some heavy paper, made a template out of it, and traced it onto some silver vinyl and voila...

No worries at all...I mean I am watching the road alot more now than before...but overall, the ride is not what people make it out to be. I actually feel my steering to be a bit more stiffer than stock. Also the suspension has been great..and I also do not race with these wheels on.

Hey big h...this might sound stupid but I just realized, looking at your interior pic I noticed your guages....they're in KM so I am assuming you're from Canada....

Haha...I rarely see that over here......

Most folks here know my taste for wheels...

I dont care for wheels over 18" but I must say your max looks tight.

I would not do mine this way but definitely, a very, VERY classy and tasteful job.....well done!

To be honest I have no clue what the offset is..the wheel is 8.5" wide and the suspension (other than the Maxspeeds) is stock.

Wow, it actually looks good. That's the first set of 20s I've seen that I actually like. And seeing them on the car lets me know that 20s will look good. But we've definitely got to do something about those little itty bitty rotors and brakes. But great looking car.
