Rota center caps are on the way, and already considering painting 8s white,because I feel that color to be hottest on Milano. So after 9 months I have made good progress, but no where near done yet. However I just bought my first home so its time to go to house mods, but the fit will not be forgotten in mods. Painted Front calipers and rear drums Semi- Gloss Black: http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/743/dsci0098.jpg Replaced these on my front bumper due to a very spirted track day :) http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/6479/dsci0100.jpg http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4401/dsci0101vp.jpg Finally got these in the mail.

|
For some reason, I cant see the pictures, says something about domain unregistered... :(
|
wow! i really like what u've done so far! im gonna do some of the mods u did.... like the red cover and gold manifold, and painting the stockies white! @.@
|
Diggin it dude, your most current set of wheels look the best by far, keep it up!
|
Edit after reading for constructive criticism:
Go lower or get 45 series tires! Ditch the cut coil springs for some coilovers, or a spring with a lower drop. 2 cents :) |
Yeah lower or little more tire, but best set of wheels so far
|
Thanx for the comments guys. Im thinking lower :)
|
|
lookin good!!!
|
very nice! looks exactly how my car use to look with the old wheels.
|
Nice you keep it Lo & Clean. Nice work.
|

That looks really good. The sidemarkers were a nice touch! Goes well with the wheels, intake mani and fog lights! Have you linked the sidemarkers with the turn signals? That would be a cool tweak. Anychance you can get some sound clips of the new exhaust? |
^ ill post up sound clips of exhaust once I get inspection and put exhaust on car. Keep checking in about three weeks?
|
New shots done at show. Test pipe still not on, but she is inspected so may be soon?
