My New Look!!!

just got my new greddy style skirts and border rears fitted and a fresh new paint job, i also painted parts of the dash and changed the steering wheel but wont take pics of the interior until the seats get covered and those old floor mats are swapped, also i plan to upgrade wheel size, i really want 18"s but i may have to go with 17"s cuz the most roads need proactive lol, let me know what you think of ma new look so far.

How it looked str8 from japan.

Great job sealing those holes, looks really clean. I really like the subtle kit you put on compared to the one it came with. I think 17"s are a good idea since larger wheels will reduce acceleration and like you said, roads that need proactive aren't too kind on larger wheels in smaller wheel wells.

the guy i traded the kit with has a nice set of 17"s Ive been trying to swindle him out of but so far nothing works lol, i love the design of my current wheels but that gap in the wheel well gets to me at times, everyone else says it looks fine so i may just give em a new paint job and call it a day.

You thought about some small wheel spacers? Maybe 5-10mm?

if you take off your wheels most of them say the offset on the backside of the center near the lug holes.

Nice car by the way I love it wingless.

Thanks, that gives me some ballpark on my project. I just want to restore the oem red and leave the black trim. Hoping to do a border front, Phoenix power sides, and a tom's rear or maybe pheonix power rear add ons not sure yet. Then off to paint. with the new kit I will def be putting new shoes on her with a nice lip, but no heavy bling rims. I do have spacers on my rims now just to bring the tires almost flush with the fender. Looks so much better IMO. I wonder if it technically spreads the weight wider and ends up being better in the corners???anyone????
