That's in the future plans, but I'm content with how they are now.
Front: 17x7 et32
Rear: 17x7.5 et32
Both wrapped in 205/40's. No rubbing whatsoever compared to my old setup.

Also you should sell them to me when you replace them in the future

Only new pictures I have right now. I picked up my HKS exhaust and K&N intake as well, but I only have iPhone pictures of those. I'll post more when I have the time to shoot the car properly.

I'm going in a more VIP-esque (and by that, I mean very, very small details) direction. It's only the door handles to far, and I'm considering a couple other things. I've never been a fan of how the headlights / upper grille look with so much black together, so 09-11 sport headlights are in consideration also.

Thoughts?

I know, shitty pictures.

I'm liking it! Are these the jdm oem handles?

I'm also aiming at the VIP-esque route without going full dubs and all that other interior stuff.

The chrome looks perfect IMO.

I wouldn't add too much and cheapen the effect. But as the car sits I'm really feeling the handles.

+++++ oh yes leave it alone. It looks really nice as it is. But sometimes it's just so hard to stop changing stuff. It is is addictive! I love your wheels BTW and after seeing those it might be time for my 12 sport wheels to go.

If you must continue changing things maybe do the inside stuff like a new headliner and matching door inserts? You could make that very VIP. Maybe even match the gold in the wheels...let me try and find a picture....I'll edit in a minute

Something like this. And if it's not your fav well I am sure you can get something that you would like. I think this would look very GQ. Matches your wheels, TW, the black interior, and the tails. Come to think of it I just might do this to mine....Get a matching tie for car meets....hahahaha. That would be bad ass!!!

There are OEM ones?! I'd much rather have those. I got mine off eBay for $14 shipped, they actually don't look bad when you see them up close. That's pretty much exactly what I'm doing, keeping it an "aggressive VIP" as I like to call it.

Very mixed opinions from a few. I'm going to keep at it for now, the only other thing I plan on doing is 09-11 headlights as far as chrome goes. Doing anything else would just be too much for it; have to keep a nice balance going.
