Default Started From The Bottom Now We Here

What's up guys.

Been gathering information on these forums the past year since I bought the car, and aside from audio upgrades and a few cosmetics, I hadn't done much. Decided to kick it in to gear about a month ago and ordered a custom set of BC's on the extreme drop kit with spring rates of 20K F / 18K R. Among other things, I found a pristine set of 7 series wheels, custom set of 19mm adapter plates made to fit the wheels, new tires, and finally had some fender work done. Also decided to have a little fun with the wheels. Anyway here she is for the time being.

Sorry for picture quality, will be doing a shoot here shortly. Feedback is welcome, enjoy.

wow i agree ^ the rims completely pop.. given that your paint is black. the contrast is too much for me, but not bad overall.

Sweet stance. Bold move with the yellow, certainly pops and the 7 series wheels look great on it! Thanks for sharing.

Lookin good. The wheels really grab the yellow from your fogs. A little too strong for my taste but you cant ignore that setup rolling down a street.

Rides better than what people make it out to be. Definitely need to tweak the dampening to find your sweet spot though. Those spring rates were a must to ride as static as I plan to be.

Yup. Thank you. Wanted to do something different other than the "traditional" silver look. Nice thing is it's only plasti dip and krylon with some clear Very easy to remove if I decide to switch it up.

Yeah, I love it. Needs a bit of tweaking in the front, but the fitment turned out exactly how I planned.

That was one of the reasoning for the color choice, also goes with the plate a little. Might add other little accents, but I may also revert back to the original color.

Thanks bro. I've definitely been responsible for a lot of broken necks. The general consensus has definitely been positive.

The car looks good man. The yellow is a little to bright for my taste but it still looks good. It's a nice change from the default silver.
