That looks nice... now you've got me looking into getting my own, and might get some for my foggies when I pick them up soon.

I'd like to them in person on another meet. :) I've always gone for 6% so it doesn't look too dark... tho the 12% in that photo doesn't look all that dark....

Today I reset my suspension height. I raised the rear 6mm and front 3mm.
I cut 20mm of the wind deflectors in front of the front wheels as they always rub on things.
I also fixed my folding mirrors as they only worked some times. It was the connector to the drivers side central locking loose. I soldered the joint and removed those stupid wire connector.
I cleaned the new wheels as well.
Here are some pictures of new ride height.

Proven Point ..... How a Nice Set of Wheels can really change the Visual Concept of your Car.

They really do Look & Suit your Aspire, Troy .... *thumb*

Just remember that when a Hot Chick looks at you as you drive past .... she's looking at your wheels ..... "Not-You" .... :P:P

BTW: Please be careful parking near Gutters.... It would be a Crying Shame if you Gutter-Rashed them .... *doh*



Sam ... :wink:
