So i got this car for around 1k a week or two back, idea is to build a simple, slightly mid (by my standards) car. Not calling it VIP, or VIpstyle. its just what i want to do. if it falls into something, whatever, but im sick of labels.

anywaysit was a stock C34 Laurel when i got it. 4 lug wheels with 5 lug hubcaps.On the way is a UAS air setup, front wheels, and some other crap.Ill be using this car to also make a series of How to videos on random stuff.

Anyways, here is my progress so far.Installed:Garson mirrorGarson Mink ChainGarson Cig LighterKTS CoiloversS14 5 lug swapS14 brakes (i need smaller!)JVC headunit w bluetooth.

Car is slammed as far as it can go on this aspect ratio of tire. 225/40 on 18x8 +30s isnt a great fit, but whatever. im waiting on tires.

wheels will be 18x9 +0 and 18x10-2ish work Emitz. in the process of refinishing them now



keep in touch for updates. should be weekly or whateverill answer questions when i get around to it

I know those wheels are not Daytons, but they sure do look like it from a distance. I like what you did with them though.
