Default Introducing: The Black Cherry

Took a couple pics finally. Lets see if this works. Haven't started a picture thread in years.

Tires Continental DWS 245-30-20, 275-30-20
Droped on Tanabe NF210 for the 4GS

Thanks. I consider these to be the starter wheels. The guys that have been around here a while will remember when i get a new car, I slap on some wheels quick then start planning for what I really want. Nice wheels take time to order and be made. Hate waiting so I mount something to hold me over.
I kinda like these more than I thought I would but I still consider them a temporary fix.
I'm getting a lot of compliments though. People like them because they look kinda stockish while still being different.

Holy crap this is gorgeous.

My LS is allegedly a black cherry one, but it's no where near as nice as yours. That's a transcendent car, I bet it drives as good as it looks!

Nice! It's RWD correct? Is the drop even (same fender gap front and rear)?
What % tint did you get?

Yes, RWD
Drop looks even but I didn't check. All I know is it looks good.
Don't know tint % but its not the darkest and not the lightest.

Beautiful. These cars always look better in person than in photos so yours must be absolutely stunning.

If I had a servant to wash it every day I would have chosen black. But alas, no servant so I'm getting Ultra White on red. I collect her on Saturday!

Washed both the cars and took a couple shots. No pics of the GS yet. Not until its dropped and wheeled. Who wants to see a stock car. Not me.









Having new cars is motivating me to get a new camera or a new cell phone that takes better pics.

I believe there are guys here who have done it already. Should work.
