That's my 7G love the taillights and the front looks like a certain series of JUN Aero ......
so far that's a Ford bronco laminar tranny cooler, a Chrysler infinity interior amp I pulled out of a sebring (lots of wiring but I pulled it off) 15×7 American Racing Estrellas , Sharpie gauges, speakers, and I have big plans believe me

your gonna paint the whole car Stewi?

Nah just the front bumper where I cracked it. I sprayed the whole car back at the end of 08' so my paint is still very good.

finally got the ddm fogs i ordered after about three weeks, decided instead of ordering lows from them id just buy them local... so a couple days ago i installed the 3k fogs and 6k lows


then today after debating it and looking over a few pics of the test fit



those to be exact i decided to buy some cheap used tires to test fit the wheels on the car... i went with what greddy recomended since i honestly was lost... tires are 225/40/18



granted its still just a test fit and i am not entirely sure if im comfortable with them... if weather permits i may try both of them on this weekend..

Looks like those tires saw some 4 wheeling previously. lol

Am I the only person that doesnt like the "stretched" tire look?



As for the thread..... Does a new inspection sticker count? lol... She passed today and im hoping to get her finally legal tomarrow.

lol i see what you mean, they were 30 bucks so i didnt really care all to much for the way they looked.. if for some reason im able to run the wheels in the rear good tires are the first thing im going to buy..

i guess it all falls down into the some will like it and some wont.. but like i said im not to sure on it yet, im still trying to debate on the wheels since the guy i bought them off only had the two.. as far as your inspection sticker goes how often do you have to get it inspected? is it every two years like californias smog requirement?

Ohh man what a night. I started to "repair" my bumper tonight. What a bitch this thing is being. The filler panel I made to shave the license plate pocket is completely from the rest of the bumper in the center. Turns out my "friend" at the shop only reinforced the bottom edge and not the center where it needs it most. So long in short, I cut the whole damn thing out of the bumper and im starting fresh. This is going to suck. I see at least 5 hours of sanding in my near future.

They do inspections every few yrs.... i usually just wait till the dmv tells me i need one. lol. But i was suprised that it passed since it has been sitting for a few months in a field. Just super excited. Hopefully tags tomarrow!

Valley8G,

I would recommend you dial in more negative rear camber, you can afford to run at least another -.5 to -.75 degree. It should help it tuck up more sufficiently. Are you planning to run fender flares, or no?

[greddy]

Valley, you need @ least an addition degree of neg. camber, and some fender rolling/shaving/pulling. offset is 20, size is 18x9.5 right?

[underated]

i like the look valley but im not a huge fan of stretched tires i just dont think the lip of the wheel sticking out past the tire is that great of an idea

for example

[underated]

oh man where can i get some of these?

So how much work is he going to do if he runs fender flares? cuz it looks like if he just rolls the rears, and adds some negative camber, it looks like it'll fit. LOOKS NICE, hmmmmm

How much fender pulling you think on the front to clear rubbing issues when at full lock?

Jesus, that looks batshit stupid and dangerous. Who the fuck would think that's cool...or even safe? Fuck that noise.

Actually im waiting on some funds to come through in order to get some coils and the camber kit I need... im still just on gr2s and teins, but flares aren't really on my mind was thinking or hoping just rolling and pulling the fenders plus some more neg camber that rears would clear..

Yeah I couldn't agree more and as far as the wheels yeah they're the odd size of 18x9.75 with a 20 offset

Yeah as well as more prone to damage if not careful...

X2. On the stretched tires

And hell yeah that sticker counts without it there would be no g in your case

That is wicked but simple in concept get the wheels you like and some glow in the dark paint
