Razorhawk's 2013 Firestorm AT

So, I think it is time to start uploading some photos, this shoot was after I have installed the 5AD spoiler, Beatsonic Sharkfin, and most importantly, the Motegi MR 107 16x7 rims with 205/55r16 Michelin X-ice3 tires (they fit, feel free to add to wheel directory)

What camera are you using, these are poor quality. And good thing those wheels are winter only...

But what other mods do you planned for the future?

My appologies for placing this in the wrong section. The forum wont let me upload the originals, and I posted them on my facebook, and then linked them. They look really good on my computer, but they do not look so hot here. Facebook compresses a lot if you do not hit the high quality checkbox I guess.

Also, what do you mean by "And good thing those wheels are winter only..."? I like these wheels quite a bit, and have had it recomended by quite a few people to get the 17" versions for summer as well. Unless you are referring to the passenger car feel that I get from the 16" with high sidewall? I got them that way for two reasons, to save cost, and also because in the Chicago area, we have a lot of potholes in the winter and spring, and the extra sidewall will help protect the rims from damage.

As far as mods in the future, I am not entirely sure, I am considering a turbo/supercharger, but that would be a bit down the road, I do not think I want to void any warrenties until they expire. I am also getting the Rally armor mudflaps shipped to me right now, and I am likely getting a few other cosmetic things like hood lifters and possibly LED lights (not sure which ones yet). Also would like to get some exhaust and an intake, but those are further down the road.

Do not mind them. Some people think that anything less than 19" with 1" of tire sidewall is lame. They do not "get" that many areas of the country have rough roads and huge pot holes that make those types of wheels expensive to replace and downright dangerous to drive on. They also apparently do not care that the car rides like a buckboard without some sidewall to help cushion the road.

The car still looks great on 16s.

pictures with a banana phone, btw your car looks weak probably cause of the small non aggressive wheels, maybe lower will help the look

Well, I wasn't referring to the sidewalls, just the style of the rim's itself. But to each there own I guess. If you like it then,

And keep us posted on the updates.
