Before and After Pics

I just purchased my max last month and just wanted you guys to see how my mods are coming, any suggestions are welcome. As of now I added a spoiler, se tails, tint 35%, Progress springs, Tokico Illumina shocks, Mille Miglia Evo5 wheels, Sumitomo tires HTR ZII 245-40-18. I thought I would work on looks first and then performance.

You definitely made it look better, I would suggest getting some clear side-marker lenses.

Looks great; the SE tails look SOOO much better, particularly on a black max. 5th generation black max's look so, so nice.

what did you do with your old rims?

I say if you do clear corner markers, just do the front to compliment the headlights. The taillights are red (duh), so keep the rear corners red. Just a thought, I haven't done it.

This is exactly my plan. IMHO, the red on the rear corners looks cool, and adding clears up front would make it look just right.

ok. I'm very casually looking for different rims on my Max, so that's why I asked. The GXE's are kinda ugly and I don't want anything bigger than 17".

Anyway, can I ask how much it cost to tint your windows? I think it looks real nice on the black max.

Get the clear outs yes. But I personally think that your car would look A LOT better if you tinted the clear side markers, it'd match your body color. Kinda like what Irish did. Then like everyone else said AE headlights, OR just paint ur stock headlights. Overall, car looks sweet and simple. G/L

I purchased my tires from tirerack. They have exceptional service and only took one day for me to receive the tires and rims. They were mounted, balanced, and also included hubcentric rings for a proper fit. The only thing I had to do was double check tire pressure.

By the way, i'm sure you guys know this but Tirerack also has the tire insurance thing and that's the best thing ever for us New Yorkers with all the potholes. I hit a big pothole and caught a bubble on my tire and i've had the tires for only about 9 months. I called tire rack they took my info, and they shipped a new tire right away.
