That red EM1 was very nice! I remember from two or so years ago, long before time attacks were even a thought in someone's head.

I'm with you there, bud. I think it's fad-tastic, and quite annoying. Do they look alright? I guess, but it's not something I'm pining over.

Its Rallye Red. I dont mean to copy but i really like the way freddy's car looks with the white desmonds...since i cant afford them i thought id get the knock offs. I also thought about rota grids (copy of Volk TE-37's) but i really like the look of white on red.

And the main problem again is lack of funds. Manual Swap is way higher on my to get list above rims so im stayin with the si's for now.
