we made our one car driveway a two car driveway so i have my own parking spot now! heres some quick snaps i took, i am going to get some night shots in sometime in the next 2 weeks with HID's and 20's!



wondering if i should paint my pumpkin with some black rocker guard or automotive spray paint? also the wheel well? Krown rustproofing says its bad practise to do so as the rust will form under the paint..but the rust is already there...and the rustproofing is once a year and its just sprayin oil!!

AAA, the sexiness of black. I am not a chrome fan, but at least you got an awesome deal and they look fantastic. PERFECT SIZE

Looks really good Brian!

The easiest thing to do for the wheel wells is to spray them with some tire dressing. Makes them really shiny and black looking.. it just doesn't last.

Really really nice! Makes me wish I had gotten 20's instead of another set of 17's. 275/45/20's have really come down in price recently. I am currently running 275/55/17's which have similar dimensions (same width a little shorter) on chrome wheels as well. Chrome isnt my thing but the price was right as well. The chrome definitely looks alot better on Black though.

yeah i didnt want too dark up front, 20% is the legal limit here in canada and I wanted a decent amount of vision for night driving. I didnt do my windshield just matched the driver and passenger windows to match the factory tint, which is really just tempered glass

hey GRNMACHINE can you show us pics of your ride? i THINK ive seen it before

be happy anything is allowed. here in Cali you're not allowed to have any tint on driver or passenger side!!! i hate clear windows on a daily driver / cruiser.

Not sure how to post pics here but there are a few pics located here:

http://grnmachine.shutterfly.com/

They are mostly of my Explorer but I hope to get more up of the Pathfinder soon. The wheels are on now, had to do some trimming to make them fit. Want to get some taillights like yours soon. Today I picked up the Hubcentric Rings to hopefully get rid of some vibration issues.

Yes the Explorer is my toy. Q7 is the wifes. Pathfinder was hers but now I switch between the Pathfinder & Explorer for work--Depends on which one I am working on & which one is "together".

Thanks for the kind words! Just replaced the wheels/tires on the Q7 with some 295/45/20 Yokohama Parada Spec-X. It is pretty glued to the road. I keep buying vehicles with extremely limited aftermarket parts. Chevrolet has alot of aftermarket out there but after experiencing Japanese quality I am not sure if I could go back.

Much Appreciated.
