well like i tell everyone... decide what you like!
dont do anything that you dont want to just because everyone tells you you should....
tho IMO those wheels just dont flow to well...
also just change the IMG to img lowercase and it should work...

looks like a preaty nice ride.
only thing i would add to the exterior is front/rear lip kits and maybe some EK side skirts for a lowered effect.

Yeah you really need rims on that car, then maybe a lip kit and it would look real nice
Brandon Dull
02-12-2008, 06:04 PM
what kind of rims should I get. like size/brand. I was thinking of getting a bodykit after I get new rims/tires.

Do what you like. Anything is better than stock rims. Just dont go too crazy with that bodykit

i wouldnt get 17s you will notice a significant power loss. i would go with 16s maybe. i had 17s on my ride n noticed it, then went down to 16s it was still a power los from the stock 15s but they look good. i have motegi m7 rims with falken tires
Brandon Dull
02-13-2008, 01:44 PM
yeah same i live in mt. lebanon. south hills area.
Brandon Dull
02-13-2008, 01:44 PM
what do you mean by powerloss. more weight?
cyberx32
02-13-2008, 04:40 PM
You lose some power because it takes more to get 17s moving. You will also notice every single bump on the road with low profile tires.
Brandon Dull
02-13-2008, 04:59 PM
im going to get 16s

you got any suggestions I want black rims size 17.
Rota is a popular brand, they are inexpensive, some models are light...they make replicas of more costly wheels...
Here is the website if you want to check them out...I like theRota Grids, myself...theyre like under 100 each...Volk TE37s in comparison cost 4-5 times that...so if you just want something that looks nice checkout Rotas...

I looked at your pics, nice car...Id remove the tint, unless you like it really dark...also you see the wiper-arms, they are kind of silver from the worn paint...if you want, its easy to remove them, sand them, and paint them so they look new again. That would be a nice touch, and its not too hard or expensive...

car looks great.. only thing i would chang is the wheels , but i see its already in your mind to change them
WhiteRabbit1021
02-13-2008, 09:10 PM
Here's what I would do... but keep in mind it's your car.
15' Rota slipstreams : Black with red lip
DROP those Tein coilovers, it looks like it's running stock ride height.
JDM sidemarkers
red/white tail lights
cf hood
HID kit
Mugen front lip/rear lip
HCF vinyl :D

The Enkei N-18is the cleanest wheel out there. Gun Metal with a polished lip would look really nice on your car.
Brandon Dull
02-14-2008, 03:36 AM
alright thanks i will check out doing that...but yeah i like the tint my plan was to like two tone it a little like black and white.

Brandon Dull

can anyone tell me - http://www.nfcperformance.com/ - is this a good site to buy car stuff off of? Alot of you are giving me great ideas for wheels and tires, seats, body kits, lighting. Are they a reliable site I can buy all that off of? I definitely know the wheels and i think i'm getting the mugen lip kits?. (can anyone tell me a good website for mugen lip-kits) Thats all I know right now. Can anyone help, all you been good so far and i appreciate that.

On a side note -
Headlights. Those look rather old and glazed over, some newer ones would look much better with some new rims, why 16?
I personally would go with 17's or 18's, but bigger is better for me.
Brandon Dull
02-15-2008, 12:25 PM
people said theres less tire in the bigger...and price goes up also. so im thinking 16's I don't know i like my tail lights and i will prob get some stock head lights?
Brandon Dull
02-15-2008, 12:32 PM
Here's what I think im going to do....
16' Rota slipstreams : (Color I Don't Know)
DROP The Tein coilovers like 2 inches.
JDM sidemarkers
keep my tail lights smoked
change the headlights
cf hood
HID kit
Body Kit or Just Side Skirts? (what kind though)
HCF vinyl - I'm ordering TWO!
whats everyone think? I think im just going to ebay all that stuff and try to find the best deals.?
Please Help Asap.
Thanks,
Brandon

^^^ your car, do what ya want to it.. i think the plan sounds good so far... no body kit tho, but i do suggest to get some EK sideskirts along with they lip kit if you r getting a set... then you should be set
WhiteRabbit1021
02-15-2008, 11:51 PM
I think first you need to ask yourself how much money you want to spend on the car.
Brandon Dull
02-16-2008, 01:22 PM
