Definitely look better than yours.

 

hmmm squeeky clean my friend

 

It rained friday so I didn't wash my car and then I was out of town all weekend. I will probably wash it tomorrow morning and take some pics of it with the new wheels....

 

UPDATE - just ordered:
1.) H&R 15mm wheel spacers to make the back wheels flush (front are already).
2.) Hawk HPS brake pads to replace my stock pads that are starting to squeak.
3.) G2 Black Caliper Paint to make my semi-rusted calipers look a little more appealing.

Do you think it's necessary to buy new rotors for the Hawk HPS pads? I'm pretty sure the dealership put new rotors on my car when I bought it 13,000 miles ago. The ones I have on now don't really look that bad, and I'm trying to not spend anymore $ on my car right now. However the thoughts of new rotors to go with the pads, to go with the painted calipers sounds like a really good idea for the finishing touch.

 

Love it...

White and black are the best... All the way!

I like those factory alloys too.. Very clean car my friend!

 

I really need to wash it so I can take some newer pics with the new wheels...they make it look like a totally different car . I also painted my calipers black since then. Now I am waiting on my 4 new Brembo blank rotors to get here (should be Thursday) so that I can put on the 15mm H&R spacers on the rear wheels, and also install my Hawk HPS pads. Hopefully I can get some pics before I do all that so I can show some before/after pics...

 

^^^^Hey man,you should join us on Sunday,August 3rd for the caravan from Park City Mall in Lancaster to the meet in Philly.I'd really like to see your ride in person.

 

I washed my car real quick this morning before work and snapped some more pics of it with the new wheels. Here are some up-close shots, where you can see that the rear wheels are in desperate need of spacers. Probably would have looked better with some tire wet too, but I didn't have time for that...

 

Here are some further away pics...I will post some more pics once I get the 15mm spacers, Hawk HPS pads, and Brembo blanks on. Let me know what you think.

 

Sorry again man, but I have to work that weekend.

 

Damn, no comments? Guess I should have started a new thread...

 

looks good!! I like the wheels. Some spacers would help out alot.

and maybe blacking out your side markers, grill, and 2k SE tails would liven the car up

 

car looks great man!

you need some coilovers!

 

Thanks, 15mm spacers going on the rear tomorrow. If I did all that blacking out, wouldn't it be nearly identical to SoonerFan's car? I'm happy with it the way it is.

 

Thanks...I wouldn't mind it being lower (hate the H&R front wheel gap), but I just put that stuff on brand new like 2 months ago, so not gonna happen.

 

Those rims look sickk on your car man.You gotta make it out to atleast one local meet this summer....

 

i like the wheels, VERY SUBTLE

 

Thanks for the compliments guys. I worked on my car ALL day yesterday. Put the new Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads on all around, and H&R 15mm spacers on the back wheels...looks a LOT better. Also fixed my clunking noise in the front end by replacing the sway bar end links. I'll post pics of it with the spacers/rotors once it gets a wash...

 

thats more like a MAXIMA OF THE MONTH WINNER....beauty...great work..

 

I you could take off the sunroof cap thing, it'd be much better.

 

Yea I agree with you. The only thing is, once you have one of those on, you are basically stuck with it, unless you plan on getting your car painted. I replaced the one it came with because it was cracked, and when I took off the original one, the paint was all f***ed up under it. The paint on the roof would look horrible if I took it off, so I guess I'm stuck with it. I don't think it looks THAT bad anyways...

 

Thanks man...seeing you guys appreciate my work makes it worth the while!

 

i can say without thinking twice that this is the cleanest 5th gen i have seen so far... love the tsw vortex's as well, i have a craze for 5-spoke wheels (dont ask lol)...

 

Wow...thanks! Still need to post pics with the spacers on...

 

soo Clean, The wheels give it the right touch.

 

nice
wish i had a 5.5 gen

 

looking clean!
