yeah they do go better!
but mines, i checked right now and they are going to arrive on tuesday,
they probably will take one more week to be installed, i will try to do some paint job on the plastic under the fenders,,
and the calipers will get painted also,,
i will see how that goes,

Its been a long time since i posted an update, but i am back,
hope it will be satisfied jejeje

Here is the first picture just to tell you how cool of a day i had.
first, my tire blew,
and almost a tree destroyed it,



and this is the last picture u took of my car without wheels


and here pics of the car with wheels





And here as you can see i removed the front lip (now i dont like the way my car looks) because i installed the
kit to lower the car.

Very nice!

Oh yes! i'm diggin that!!

Model and brand of rims?

where did u get those rims?

Looking awesome. kinda hard to make a black one look good. but its great.

>
i Will upload some high quality pictures of the car and rims today,
but for right now i will post two images taken with my cellphone
the brand is R-1 Racing Wheels and the model is Hype Mass Lip




>

i bought them off the internet, for cheap though! these were the last ones they had,
BTW my car is not black, is Blue jejejeje

those are really nice!!!!a beautiful car!!!!

>

thanks man! you should of gotten these wheels!

its very very tempting,they are a mixture between hyper light and chrome its great!!!how much were they?

>

well, in the pictures they look chrome,, but in person they are more like metal polished,
really cool though,
i paid 1250 with tires and warranty.

so exactly wat kinda rims are those??

>

these are the R-1 18x8.5 Hype with mass lip,,
or you mean something different?

>
I hope you take this as a compliment but I think you're car looks muuuuuch better without the lip - just so much cleaner and the new rims are killer too. Perfect match IMO.

>

do you really think that!!
after i installed the suspension tecnique springs, the car lowered so much on the front that the lip was only 2 or 3 inches from the ground, so i had to take it off,
but i went back and asked them to put back the original springs on the car, now the car looks a lot lifted from the front,
and i dont like that either,
i dont feel like paying again to change the springs!
i think the car looks more killer with the lip man,

It's a personal opinion thing man - do whatever makes you happy. Either way you have a very beautiful car that you made to your tastes so be proud

Damn - the more I look the more I want those rims man! Nice choice!

>

you mean 18x7.5" right?
cause they never made those in 18x8.5 plus they wouldn't fit

I wanted those wheels BADLY when we got new wheels in April. Now, I want them more. Awesome wheels. They look great on your car.

>

yeah i do like it a lot also without the lip, but the thing is that i installed back the springs on the front, so the car i way more lifted on the front now, so that i would be able to install the lip without be hitting on every little bump,
but i will see how that goes, if not, they i will go back to the suspension technike springs on the front, and sorry but the lip will have to see the end it that happens.
thanks again man, i am so proud of my car cuz it reflects all the effort that i have put in in it.
it feels cool that people on the streets park next to you and give you thumbs up every two or three days.

>

yeah it does detours from the actual bumper, that can be fixed modifyng it but it looks really hard,
the projectors, i am thinking about it,
they are too expensive in my opinion, having in mind that most of the cars have really bad ass headlights from third party companies. but yeah i have been thinking about it for a long time,
if you see my myspace profile, you will notice that it says as my name, spider-joe vr. 5.0, which reflects the versions or upgrades that my car has completed, now i am on 5. the highest is the 10, and the 6 or 7 mod is definitely a swap,
i even wonder how my car will be on level 10 hehehehe


>

yeah something like that, i totally forgot about the other numbers hehe
thanks for the correction

>

I have been looking at these rims for almost a year, but i didn't had money,
now that i have to jobs, i could afford them, they look sick ass in person man!
trade yours, i bet you they would also look excellent on you red car!

niiiice rims joe, lovin the flow of the car, even without the front lip

>

thanks man! i am also starting to like it, but i really miss the lip, i will see how that goes.
