the picture of the downpipe is how my whole exhuast is (straight 3 inch ss piping with no resonator and no muffler) no matter how it looks it will never be a sleeper. it sounds like a low level strategic air strike !

thats what I thought...it looks oem clean bro, me likes...kinda my style, and I like the flat ...just shoot it with really reduced primer

your car looks much better than most cars I see on here...well played

youve got me wanting 17x9 and 17x10's

they are 30mm aluminum r32 brakes and brembo rotors and axis pads. the wheels fit but rub so i either need to raise the front and take some camber out or cut the inner fenders out, i havent decided yet.

b.s these are man sizes!!!!!! actually to get the car hom i had 20mm spacers on, at -3 offset on a 17x10 on fenders that had no inner lips it was finally rubbing. the tire size was 235-35-17 i think. they fit awesome, just cant go full lock lol
