Default New Wheels & Updates *PICS*

Just put on a set of staggered 3pc Maya EX2's.

Got them for a great price.

Rear: 20x10 30mm offset | 255/35/20
Front: 20x8.5 20mm offset | 225/35/20

I just got the rear fenders shaved so I might as well try to get the tire as flush as I can with the fender.

Probably will go with a 20mm or 15mm spacer in the rear.

Current mods:
* 3.8% Tint on all sides and back, 35% on windshield
* Painted Grill Black
* Smoked Tails (temp)
* 8K & 3k HID's
* DF210 Drop
* 2krms System

Future mods:
* LED Tails
* Black Roof
* 4" Exhaust Tips

I know you guys don't like the smoked tails, but I had some VHT Night Shades spray left over from doing (3) of my co-workers vehicles so
I decided to see how it would look having smoked tails for the next couple of weeks until I order my LED tails, it's not too bad IMO.

Nosferatu2, I defintaly would recommend re-painting the grill with fresh gloss black or semi-gloss paint, it made a huge difference in how the front end looks of my car. The factory paint was starting to look more like a graphite color rather then black and it had a few chips in it, now it's much cleaner looking.

Here's a pic of the front for ya...

Thanks, Ya the look I'm going for is more sport then luxory/vip. That's just my style

I think the look of my car will be slightly more classy though once I get some Insurance LED Tails...

Looks good...just not feeling the painted black lips on the wheels, makes the rims looks small and makes it seems like it's floating...
