I finally took the time to wash and wax my car after getting my rims. I've had them since early January. Well its car show time in 3 weeks what other mod show I get? I was thinking of getting a simple trunk setup just for the show but I don't want to buy a new headunit.Konig Runaways 18x8 +35 offset. Tell me what you think...

Meh been test driving other cars to see what else I want... Its a shame, the only other car I'm considering is a G37s but I don't think I want to drop that much $ on a car at this point.

OT: Are those Ultra Sport NS-II the same as Nankang NS-II? How would you rate the tires?

They are the Nankang NS-II. They are ok for under $100 a tire. I'm ordering some Bridgestone Re-01's though since tirerack has a crazy deal on them right now.

You'll hate the look of your car with tinted windows ??? That's a first for me...I would understand hating the back windows tinted and not the front (Not sure if that's what you meant) But I think I would like it better than no tint at all But that's just me

Car looks great dude. The wheels really made a huge difference in the apperance. Next mod should be something towards the body. Spoiler, body kit or window tint as mentioned. Keep it up.

I just want dark dark tint and these are the laws in louisiana:Front Side Windows Must allow more than 40% of light in.Back Side Windows Must allow more than 25% of light in.Rear Window Must allow more than 12% of light in.

I want 25% all around. All of my friends with 25% gets a ticket like once a month. But my real problem is not being happy with a tint thats not the darkness that I want.

i know its been mentioned several times..but u should get 30% or 35% window tint cuz cops wont pull u over cuz it will look like 40% but at least its some tint and doesnt look like a fishbowl..tint would make such a big difference..but other than tht it looks great! and if u dont get tint consider a new grille..like mine
