First. DO NOT DIP THOSE RIMS IN CANDY APPLE RED!


I believe it will make the car look so cheap its not even funny especially if you plan on keeping the same rims...


If you plan on doing modifications, I believe you must go all the way. now I know some people do not like to take away from the drive, which is completely fine, there are ways to change your car without compromising the drive. that picture of the black lex up top is a great example. Nice rims... maybe a little tint and blacking out some of the chrome with a small drop. Very simple and classy.


Now there is always the all out way... 20's, aggressive drop, front lip, full chrome deletion etc... but there is a price to pay with that. Quality of ride and cost are usually a head ache. The looks you get is where the reward comes in...


At the end of the day whatever way you choose to go, I highly suggest not to keep your stock and try to upgrade by changing colors. its like the poor mans hook up to a classy car.


good luck

Only 14.8 mpg on the hwy? I just refueled this afternoon and was able to get 384 miles to a tank with 2 miles cruising range. Kinda surprised as I drove pretty crazy this tank.

Only time I ever see low numbers like that is AWD. I'm starting to think there is a huge AWD / RWD MPG gap.

I have awd and mine says 23 mpg over the past 200 miles. 50/50 hwy and city. I drive relatively gently in town, but pretty fast on the highway.

After 2500 miles (1month 10 days), with a Takeda CAI I average to about 22.5 MPG (self calculated with miles/gallons filled) on a AWD. My foot is not always heavy but for those drives it is about 20 average.In bumper to bumper I switch to auto+eco mode, but on better days, pedal + sport +.
