Default New Wheels!! with pics!!!!

Ok, this is officially my second mod, tint was first. I suck at taking pictures, but here they are anyways. Yes I know it looks like an SUV, so unless anyone wants to donate to the Buy Josh Some Coilovers Fund , it might be a while till I get em. By the way my OEM chrome 17s are for sale if anyones interested.

Lookin good bro. Springs could hold you over until coils are in the budget.

Holy crap. I didnt realize the car is sitting so tall with 19's or 20's. I might have to get springs in the interim until I can afford coilovers. Lookin good otherwise.

Default Nice start!

You have a nice start and a foundaton to work from! The springs will give you a nice drop, but coilovers will take you even lower! I would recommend doing springs first and then going the coilover route? Looking good!
