Post a pic as your car sits now....

Yes, thats me. I love the Aspire tails, wouldn't change them for the world.



Actually a lower profile tire ALWAYS has a stiffer sidewall, thats just by design that the shorter tire has less flexibility. And yes, it may mean the tire 'squishes' less even when underinflated. I could deflate my 19s and still look not all THAT low on air pressure.


Not to draw out any more pointless discussion, but rather end it about tire OD, I'll refer people to my post regarding overall tire diameters in the corresponding forums. But I'll say no two tires have the same physical OD's. And also camber roll (when the wheels are turned) marginally affects ride height, so in essence, you are both wrong, and both right.

Yeah no two tires have the same OD's, but they're not 3" different (would make a 1.5" difference in ride height). The argument went dumb as soon as the claim was made that turning the wheels doesn't affect ride height...

Local 8G (not on TGC), bagged, tucking the front wheels. Sitting HELLA LOW.

All you have to do is watch the car when you turn the wheel...

That's low. Honestly I don't think it looks good, though. The 8G isn't exactly a VIP car. Even then VIP is about practicality.

And I KNOW THAT! lol. I was trying to argue common sense that turning your wheels almost full lock will cause the static ride height to change. People just get desperate arguing sometimes... You know I never compromise logic.

It IS on airbags. I've been thinking I'd put my G on bags, that way I can ride normal, and show low.

I'm sure you've seen Ksport has airbag kits now. Actually seems to be QUITE a deal. I dunno, I can't judge until I know in person.

IC. Too bad MSRP is $4000 (basic kit) to $5000 (pro-kit).

That's not a car...

Oh yeah, I tinted the tails on the Evo.

nice job on the tinted tails...was gonna tint my aspire tails, but it rained all day today. I'm going with a slightly darker shade than yours, but not blacked out.

dont you like the RA tails?

[lonestar22]

ive seen a few EVO's with the RA tails, did the new evo's get them? or are alot of people changing them out

[lonestar22]

seems like i always end up on the last page of every post

Thank you... I got bubbles in some spots from the mineral spirits I used to clean them. Was still seeping out of the pores.

I don't like the RA tails on Octane Blue. Looks weird - too contrasty. They look great on darker colors.

There are only 2008 Evo X's. People swap out the RA tails for the stock ones. I won't, kind of a waste of $350.

what did you use to tint? spray paint or film? ...it seems you used film from your last post, but it seems it's a bitch to do with the curves on the tails.

Oh look! It's somebody with good taste and nice wheels.

... j/k... this place is starting to get annoying again.

It's VHT Nite Shades, done in 2 thin layers. Bubbles because of the mineral spirits not being completely evaporated when I went to spray the tails. They are actually kind of a pain on the X. I don't really feel up to removing them again. Too much potential paint damage, even if you're being careful.

[ASTIG]

Thanks. It looks nice and subtle. Are you gonna clearcoat? I picked up some tailight paint last week and I have been debating on whether to do it or not. Will give it a shot on friday.

btw

got my windows tinted.
