Default beginning to now... lots of pics.

Sorry, iPhone pics.


about a week after I bought her brand new, I had to lower her.


fitting some TE37SL's on 19x9.5 and 19.10.5







PPE headers with Borla cat-back



Tom's kit



ADV1's 19x10 and 19x11's

Grille was blacked out along with emblems about a week after purchased also. Swapped out pads for the Project Mu pads because of brake dust. Blacked out chrome trim around windows too.

Never enjoyed this black on black on more black and more black look. Should have kept the TE37s. Superior wheels IMO to ADV1s.

The adv1's were ordered back in feb. Had a few complications with them. I am keeping the TE37's, they are by far my favorite wheels. This is my 4th set since I've been modding cars. I am running the adv's to see how they are. But trust me, the advs will be sold before the volks.

I'm sure they're good quality wheels...but they're nothing like Volks. Too many wanna be wheel companies out there. Work, BBS, Volk, HRE or bust. Enkei makes really good quality wheels, but too bad a lot of them are ugly.

wow, beautiful wheels. i have gone through three sets of volk 19's in my life in those offsets and a bit more aggressive and they really are worth all of the money i paid. they do not bend hitting potholes and are very light and bbk friendly. what offsets did you get those Te SLs in?

great job man, keep it up.

Haha. Not selling the volks. Pretty sure they'll be back on in the near future.

The car looked great with the Volks! Like everyone else said, I'd put those back on for sure. I'm not a huge fan of the "murdered out" look with nothing to break it up. Everything else looks good though!
