heres a few pics from today. Curious as to what your thoughts are on it. I think next upgrade will be LED tails and shark fin antenna?

I know not many will be fans of those mags, but I think they're cool! Nice car!

I'm not sure if I'm a fan myself. It's hard to buy rims without seeing them on the car first. lol

I see nothing wrong with your rims, in fact I think they look good on your car!

And, over all your car looks real good too!

FRSapex · 09-25-2013, 12:29 AM

echo - I dig that look

Erik-Frs · 09-25-2013, 01:37 AM

I posted pics when they first went on and a lot of people were saying they made the car look like a Camaro? lol. I don't know. I've always been a fan of black rims but i just dont think they mesh well on an asphalt so I went with a hyper silver.

Any of you guys know a good head unit replacement for stock that fits nicely in the waterfall without looking too aftermarket?

What size on the rims?

18 would of looked better imo. The car does look good tho

Brndn704 · 09-25-2013, 12:24 PM

I like the wheels. Nothing too flashy, just simple.

zaptorque · 09-25-2013, 12:30 PM

Looks good, 19 is too big though. IMO.

thats what I was going for. Just clean. But i think i made the wrong color choice

imo, 17" and 18" wheels work best for this car. 19" is too big, especially with a wheel design like this, where the spokes travel to the edge of the wheel rather than a lip around the circumference of the wheel.

as for other modifications, it really depends on how modified you want the exterior to look. frankly, with the addition of a shark fin antenna, it'd probably be perfect where it's at. however, i'd like to say that asphalt and raven are the two colors that are best for adding lip kits, such as the trd, nur spec, 5ad, because they blend the lines so well.
