Alright fellas...need your opinions. I'm in a bit of a pickle on decisions at the moment.

16" or 17" rims?? I can't decide cause I've found some patterns that I like in 17" but I've been considering going down an inch from the 17"s I already have on the car. Any suggestions?

yeah, i'd go with 16's. i had 17's on my da before just cuz i got them for free and they looked good, but looked too big...see...

i loved how they looked on the car, but at the same time hated how big they looked. would've liked them more if they were 15's or 16's, but hey, cant complain about FREE wheels and tires!

not that simple bro. first you gotta apply the correct way. second, you actually have to be active in the squad for a while, not just apply and vanish. if you'll look, you'll see that several of us post more than once a day. and half of the people who post more than once a day still arent in yet. you dont just get accepted right away. gotta work for it like the rest of us did....

Good luck with that. You might just have to buy another complete set. Or find someone selling lights with broken mounting tabs

Yea, you might be right.
I bought the ones on my car for cheap cause they were cracked and yellowed.
Now I'd like to do a proper HID retro and throw these things in the trash along with the garbage kits.

True...my 17s don't look to bad

Big beefy tires on 16s or 15s or just your average size? the tires I want are the Falken Azenis.

Well the car isn't really gonna be a daily driver. Its my second car now-a-days. I used to drive it daily. But I'm not really gonna be too worried about the rain.

How are they for the shining summer weather I'm sure we're all missing at the moment?

Lookin pretty sick. I was thinkin of going with the gold rota slips and paintin my car either matte black or a really nice black with a gold metallic shot.

And what kind of lip is that and where can I get one cause thats a lot better than the ABS plastic ebay piece I'm rockin right now

I've got a B18A1 LS with CAI, and 2.25" catback magnaflow exhaust with glasspack. If I got like a DC or Megan or JVT Header, Would it make my exhaust and car overall alot louder?

Let the paint dry for 24hrs before clear coat imo.
Maybe a light wet sanding with some high grit sand paper then clear coat then wet sand again and finally a cut and buff.

It will change the tone but shouldn't make it too much louder.
