Gotcha, to each his own, I would get some nice wheels for DC. Those roads are some of the worst, probably the only close comparison is Baltimore roads.

 

that's why i'm getting taller tires. that way i have about the same sidewall or more that the stock 19's had.

 

Better pics of the scrape on my car...


Before....








After a bit of cleaning and hand buffing.








I was planning on doing a polish and detail to the paint over the Christmas holiday anyways. That should fix the tiny little blemishes that are left.

 

Nope, not just you. I agree. More is less and less is more.

 

 

Great job!!

 

Put on some new-to-me PP wheels last night



Putting on the S-types tomorrow!

 

Just like that, back to stock.

Found these on Craigslist locally last night for $850 with nearly new Goodyear Eagle RS-A's. Oddly in a 255/45R19. I like that they are taller than what they put on them stock.

Also looks more slammed now back on 19's than it did on 20's. My Torq-Thrusts are in bad shape. I don't think a single wheel isn't bent to hell.

 

Looks good. I never did like those Torq Thrusts.

 

That sucks that someone would back into your car. Atleast it looks like you were able to buff it out.

 

Those look much better. I would leave it like that. I really think those are some of the best OEM wheels.

 

Before pic

 

That's a nice look. I like those wheels a lot.

 

That's a lot of really good stuff right there

 

Boom.

 

How are the koni's and other suspension mods?

 

Dreaming of warm weather... Little 2013 action below

 

You take one step forward just to take two steps back...
Stop with all the tacky apperance mods and start focusing on performance. Get rid of those silly white vents too. Hate to be brutally honest but someone needs to be.

 

I have to admit that does look better. A good wait until Milans?

Boom indeed. Nice shot.

 

Thanks: Koni yellow shocks & struts, SR springs (1.5"/1.5"), BMR panhard, brace & relo bracket, MM C/C plates & 4-piston Brembos.

Having all this installed this week, so dunno yet, but think I s/b happy with this for my goals. Ive been putting this stuff together for the better part of a year, buying everything on sale ranging from 15-60% off, all new except the Brembos (GT500 takeoffs) and the c/c plates b/c I'm not a rich man, lol. Still need to buy control arms too but am not sure which yet, leaning towards Whiteline. Will install those & my MGW myself when I reload & buy the ramps I have my eye on but got a cheap quote from a guy I trust for all this stuff now while it's cold, so I went for it.
