Default Took some pics & wheel craziness (56kdeath)

Went out with some buddies and took some pics and fooled around in photoshop. Still deciding what summer rims to get (18").

Hey man, looks great! I can't wait for them to come out w/ a drop for the AWD and still awaiting to put on my yellow film on my fogs. I like the look of the Advan RG's that you chopped but I think our cars would look better if we had some VIP style wheels. By the way, nice tints.

I've always wanted black on gold.. but I think for this car, gold clashes with the red tails and reflectors. But on the other hand.. there's not much variation in colour on a black car with black wheels.. but I do like that mean sleeper look (tho the car sadly isn't a sleeper...).


dnszoom's method to apply the film https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...27&postcount=7
Either way, when you buy it, it comes with easy to follow instructions.

probably not a good idea. i wouldnt do it but i am sure you can do it if you want.

and your pictures are pretty amazing. but i have to say tho, leave those chrome emblems, dont get the black ones. IMO, having red out tail lights with black emblems makes you car looks toooo clean. almost too boring.

I agree with you. After chopping those pics, I think I'll just stay with chrome for now
