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. biggrin.gif

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, kindasad.gif

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

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!
