Lightbulb New shoes on 2001 max "please comment"

Just got the set of new wheels installed yesterday, didnt pay alot they were on sale. I got 30 days replacement warranty on them, so please let me know how they look. 17'' theres not many mods are done cuz I have kept it simple as stock other than few of as follows...
Mods: nothing but a performance muffler and 7" dvd player on dash plus HID, hyper white H3 in fogs, clear side markers, extra pair of super white driving lights installed, k&n air filter, bosch platinum 2 spark plugs, new wheels.....little more cant remember.

get rid of the stickers, the dash and steering wheel covers, and the stuffed animal and it'd look a lot better IMO The tires look really funky...what size are they? they sort of look like they belong on an SUV with they're tall and mushy sidewalls...

lol
they are 17" but they dont look 17 cuz of wider sidewall I think i must exchange these wheels to something extreme style, the reason I chose the wider sidewall cuz i often hit the side curve which does all the scratches and remove the chrome paint, I could buy those outstanding wheels but i gotta becarefull with side curves.

The tires are fine, but the wheels coupled with the exhaust and huge red R on the back really kill it for me. Lose the R, get a more tasteful exhaust and some wheels that aren't chrome and I'll be feeling it though.

If they're driving lights then do not by any means drive around with them on!! Driving lights are supposed to be high beam supplements, but when implemented correctly are awesome. I love my pair... if I could just get the relay to work properly now....

P.S. the other wheels you posted look good, go for 'em.

"please comment"...Okay, where to start.

- The grill is ugly. Paint it black.
- I'm not diggin the rims.
- Lose the gay sticker on the trunk.
- Spark plugs aren't a mod.

I think your car would look better w/ stock rims and a few inches lower.

My honest opinion....UGLY.
Wheels are ugly.
Grill is ugly.
Extra pair of fogs is not needed.
Dash "mat" is ugly.
Steering wheel cover is ugly.
Sticker on grill is ugly.

ya I am not setisfied with rims myself, I am going to exchange them for the same size but bigger and wider style. that grill is temporary I am gonna trash that as soon as I gets my black one. that sticker is history, and the headlights are not that cheap that anyone with low budget can go and buy, lol anyway I am gonna upgrade then later.

Yeah, i guess your new to this.. But you said comment so they did. But i agree, upgrade wheels to some 18's or 19's if you like. Lower the car more, and you got yourself a good look already

Ok, for the fogs....See if you can mount them a little further back in the bumper opening. Also, they might look better if you mount them a little closer to the foglights as they seem to be making the front end a little to busy looking.

As for the dash mat, I doubt your dash will get damaged. My car has been sitting in direct sunlight for 4 years now and the dash has shown no signs of damage.

Another thing to consider, AE your headlights.
