yeah i did paint over them. they were clear corners and i bought some hobby silver paint. you can see through the paint at night and during the day when the blinkers are on.

Question. Do your corners even blink anymore? If they don't what do you use as a turn signal?

Edit: Didn't read the post.. Now I did.. Now I know..

I think it's the 15's with those big tires that make it look "not low enough"... but it's clear the car is pretty damn low.

I like the corner idea, different if nothing else.

Gotta love the ITR lip... car looks great!

actually i painted the clear corners that i bought. i still have the stock ones in the box here in my room. and yes the tires are big but they are some of the smallest ones that you can get for a decent price. and since i have bad camber i dont want to pay for the expensive tires. oh yeah and the tire demensions are 195x45x15

Car looks pretty good. Definitely put on the stock corners or just the clear or even smoked ones. I am not really feeling the gauges either. Seriously are they really necessary? Volt and A/F. The A/F is worthless and why do you really need a volt meter? Just my opinion

i have an a/f guage and volt meter because i like them. the voltmeter is very practical. and my a/f is nessecary because when i put the exhaust and header on i started to run leaner than before and this was shown to me by my a/f guage. plus if you start to run leaner you know that you need to clean your injectors or get a new fuel filter.

Actually the A/F gauges are worthless under any type of load. They are meant to read the voltage of your narrow band stock o2 sensor. This is only helpful around stoich 14.7:1 conditions. This is fine at partial throttle since that is when you should be in stoich but once you put any type of load on the engine the stock o2 sensor cannot read those conditions, therefore becomes usless. That is also why your car will go into closed loop which uses the maps of the ecu instead of readings from your o2 sensor. This could be compensated by buying a wideband such as an FJO or Techedge, but costs about $700. The voltmeter I cannot see being that helpful unless your battery is dying

The car looks a bit low. Are you scraping the front lip yet? I suggest getting larger diameter rims, try 16's. They will raise your car a tich without compromising the wheelgap.
