Default Lower and tint your EP3 for free

I never developed this thing to its full potential, but here's a link to a flash movie that lets you lower and tint your EP3, and see what some slipstreams would look like on it. Enjoy.

clicky!

great stuff

doesn't look like the lowering is too scale. 3" would be a little lower j/k

I was very careful in measuring it, but the scale makes it hard to be exact. Also, the diameter of the tires and wheels might be affecting your judgement. With larger wheels, the same drop looks much lower, since the rims are technically closer to the fenders anyway. My EP3 came with about 3.5" of wheel gap stock.

Mine were $135 each at Discount tire (part of a package with Azenis/warranty).

Though I kinda pined for some Regamaster Evos, one day I curbed the hell out of my Rotas, and was glad I didnt just scrape an expensive wheel.

If you have a Discount tire local, they can order Rotas and they are very competitive price-wise.

The 16x7's come in 45 or 40 offest, and the 40 looks better (1cm wider track from stock) IMHO.

I wonder which rims would be the "standards" to add?

Kosei K1
Circuit 8
TE37

Once I get a more robust back end on my server and some free time (December is slow), I should be able to catalog tons of rims, and maybe add the OEM body kit peices too.

I would add some of the more expensive Rims too (after some other ones are added) for those that dream big... it might even give people some inspiration to get the rims since they've seen it on their car and how it looks lowered... I'm a big fan of RacingHart....it's all about the deep dish
