Its your car, you can do whatever you want, but since you asked my suggestion, which I consider my opinion:


Looks like my truck, wheels are ugly, why did we rip the emblem off the front? I'm not saying everyone should go JDM, or slam their cars, but there really is no "looks" to this car, in which you were trying to go for. All it "looks" like is a car you tried making look cool, but it looked so much better stock.

Those blue hid's are crap, they actaully put less light on the ground!!

Also, you came here asking for opinons. YOU ASKED, HE GAVE, deal with it, or move on.
It is your car, who cares what any one else thinks. Besides that, H-T, is not the place to ask for opinons, instead ask your friends.

I agree with this. Besides, if you listen to H-T you'll end up building exactly the same car as everyone else anyway.

Personally you do need to lower it ASAP. I dont think the rims are bad, I like polished, but the height isn't doing you any favors.

This is true. However if you want them for looks, then do it. I have 15000K HID, just because I could, and pics of the car just look better at night.

Tinted windows wouldn't be too expensive and you could probably do that yourself.

Have you ever seen a car with 4300k's and 5000k's? I promis you there is more light going on the ground. But I am not going to argue with you.

Personaly, the wheels dont look bad, they just look out of place. Only becuase you are stock height. It beats the usal rota's anyways.

im getting it lowered in the next week or so, and i agree, being at stock height makes it look out of place

HAHAH, I laughed soo hard at work reading the first sentence!

You have a nice base car. Rims are OK. Drop is good! Your tires look too far for my taste, what are they? 195/60?
