Default Snow Melted..Got The Car Washed and Here Are Some Pics

Like the title says. Plus over the weekend the day before our snow I got some new tires and put the new rims on. I have no idea what brand they are, so if someone has a guess, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it. A lot of you will remember the car when it had a wing, it had decals, and a giant H on the hood. Got rid of all that and I personally feel it is comming along fairly well. Hates will hate, do what you want but I am proud of how my car has come along. On to the pics:

first time I have ever seen the car so I dunno what you started with, but I have seen a lot worse around me. It really doesn't look too bad, you should refinish the wheels when you get a chance and they will look brand new.

And I'm not sure what kinda camera you are using but you don't need the flash.

yea paint the neon green black, or change the drums to disks in the rear....um yea lose the taillights or tint them or something- they are too light for a dark green car....I feel that bronze instead of black with a lip on the rims might look better, esp with a drop- and of course the stickers gotta go.
even losing the tint would look better in my opinion...a non tinted slammed darkgreen coupe with some jdm "slanted" stickers (only 2 or 3) on the windshield would be nice but yea- keep changing things and keep posting pictures.

Thanks for the comments. Yea the calipers do have to get painted yet. I never changed them from when I bought the car. That will come when the turbo goes on. I'm also waiting for my tax return to come in so I can get a set of amber/red stock tailights for it. I agree they are a bit bright for the overall darkness of the car. I'll keep everyone updated.

P.S. When it started, I had a double deck wing on the back, lime green sticker decals the entire way down the side, and a giant green H on the hood. I had 17'' wheels with a billion spokes. Everything was on it when I bought the car.

Yea they did but I needed smaller wheels for winter treads on the car and I got these for 75 bucks for all 4. I'm not complaining.

It's a start...the next thing I'd recommend doing is removing those altezza's, neon lights under the car, and paint your rear drums flat black....lower it a little more, get a front lip....and it would look pretty good. Just my .02 tho

Like I said, the brake colors will be changed. Just haven't done it yet, I've been too pre-occupied with just paying on the car and getting the turbo kit set up. I probably will remove the underglow neons just because of the fact that I had all 4 on it at one point. The front first broke off when I hit a deep pothole, then I moved the back one to the front. That one ripped off when I hit a bunny rabbit doing 65. (That was f'n awsome so it was worth it) So now there are 2 left on the sides and a blown fuse...so they're just kinda sitting on there.

EDIT** I did a search for ITR wheels and I think that IS what I have, so thanks for the info!

I will reiterate yet again: The lime green is going. It's done. It's gone. It sucks and it's getting painted. The wheels need touched up as well, I just slapped 'em on to get the all seasons on so that I don't wreck the damn thing. I am waiting to get taxes back to get stock tail lights or if I can get them for free some how if someone doesn't want a set.
