i second this. IMHO, our cars look best when you take a photo from center-line up. when you take photos of it while you are crouched or sitting low to the ground, the USDM longer nose will appear to be more pro-nounced. at this low vantage point, the car will only look good when you are taking a front view shot. oh yeah, the asymetrical composition of the photo above looks really good, especially because of that view!

Wow you are brave... no wheel locks.

Progress on my car has been really really slow. lol. After one year I finally lowered it on some Swift Springs! Decided to do the wiper mod, and independent fog lights. Removed most of the stickers on the back and took off the taillight tints. Also added 15mm spacers to the rear wheels.






With the 15mm spacers installed

I like what you did with the rims. That's what I plan on doing with mine this winter when I have my winters on! I like the stock rims, why not keep them and use them! I'll be getting lock lugs though because I'd prefer my wheels on the car! Nice look though man!

Yeah i painted them myself using Duplicolor Wheel Paint. just make sure you take your time scuffing the wheels and painting the wheels. It took me 4 days to do all 4 wheels. Thats 2 layers of primer 4 layers of paint and 3 layers of clear. And make sure you take your time between layers cuz the paint will sag.

People always think my wheels are powder coated until i tell them its rattle canned.

Props for the patience and such on that. I saw the DIY here about doing that. I'm getting mine powder coated, I would rather spend the extra money per wheel and have it done right than me do it and have it uneven!

I have a Red Fit, I've decided to go white with the powder coat. I wasn't feeling bronze or black.
