Thanks, I didn't like them until I tried them on. lol Then I painted them. Now I'm working on getting them powdercoated the colors I painted them, and getting replicas of the original Racing Hart stickers that were on them. I actually had a whole RS1 lip kit but it's kind of played out so I sold it. I'm working on getting another one now.

Flat out I, Me, MySelf.. see things better in yellow light then in any other light. Might have something to do with me being color blind to purple. But then again I guess I'm wrong for that also .. I don't have to read what someone else thinks to know what I see and what color I can see better throw fog with. If you see better with blue or white that is great for you.. for me it doesn't work

lol ok, im not trying to argue with you but if you read the article, you will notice they talk about yellow and green being the most attractive color to the eye. That is why you might believe yellow to be superior.

I don't think you are trying to argue with me.. but I don't see colors like everyone else. Yellow to me in fog is just flat out better for me to pick up objects. It wasn't always like this for me ..but after my eye surgerys I couldn't pick up different shades of purple and yellow and green pop out more then any other color.. and if a white light is used in fog lights. its like shinning a flash light into my face.

Ok...so I haven't been on in awhile so I'm going to answer/replay to the last 3 pages.
Specs:
18x9 all around et 5 with spacers
215x40

As far as the styling and me copying, Rota's, the lip,etc..
Ok to say I'm copying another person and you guys don't is being hypocritical. The whole car movement is based off of copying. That's like saying I'm copying someone because I lowered my car or because I put rims on it. I do to my car what I like at that time. This is my 4th project car and none of my cars have stayed the same as I mod them. I'm always changing the way it looks because that's what I like to do. YES, I have seen the IS300 with the graffiti lip. But he also did his entire hood too. And yes I like the whole car and decide to do my lip. If you look at the date of my pics on other sites you can see that he is the only other person who has done that at the time of my lip. Yes it is starting to pop out more on more cars now, but that's not my fault. It's what people like and that's what the want to do.
Now the Rota's. Ive always like the Work Meisters S1 3piece. I wanted them on my Z but I ended up selling my car before buying them. And since the whole stance thing is new to me I didn't see the point in buying a set of Works if I'm going to mess them up while I'm getting my stance right. The Rota D2's were cheap and the closes rim I could fine to them. So I bought them. And if you want to talk more **** too my front lip is a ebay lip too. Have fun with that.
Someone said I fu<ked up my Scion badge?? I guess because it's black? I actually bought this car used because I didn't want a car payment anymore. The badge was already black.
Fogs were a gift, that's why they're on my car. Hate if you want.
Oh and the stickers on the back windshield...sorry to say but that was started way before hellaflush. People have been doing that for years.
But to sum it up. Thank you for those of you with positive comments or a least respectful comments. And thanks to those who don't like the car and chose to say nothing rather than talk crap. To everyone else...It's my car and I don't really care what anybody else really things. If you don't like do it to your car. Sorry If I'm not going to make MY CARto the way you want it.

hell dnt pay attention to the people on this site, im a dick too don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day its your whip, don't stress it. I like how the car looks personally, and its nice to see another rota wheel that isn't grids.

are those wheels 5x114.3? or actually 5x100? I've never seen those in 5x100 in such aggressive sizes, unless I just didn't look hard enough.

and the whole ebay lip thing, they all come from the same distributor overseas. racing solution, ebay etc. all the same manufacturer of the lip so no worries about that.

car looks good, I like it, just get rid of the fogs that's one of the things I see wrong about the car and just bomb the lip more to get all the empty spots. but nice job man I like

They're actually 5x114.3 I got a adapter for them. And I know about the lip. Just being lazy plus I want to find some new stickers. I got a stack of them now but I want some different ones.

And don't worry. I don't let anybody get to me. Just haven't been on in awhile so I had 3 pages of positive and negative comments I had to reply to.
But thanks again. And I will change the fogs, just not right this second. Got a lot of other stuff to do right now.

this is all I read and I disagree. If the whole car movement is based off of coping then who came up with the first idea? Oh right, someone had to become creative. Its like saying, what came first...the chicken or the egg. LOL ok maybe not I suck at making analogies, however. People invent and reinvent things to be original, not copy. But when you do copy, thats when you will be called out. There is a fine line between reinvent and copy.

I called out plenty of lames who copied Shin's 18x9.5 et 38 with 215/40/18 spec Gold Rota Grids. This is what you called copy, when one person perfectly replicates another persons style. Someone can reinvent his style by getting different specs. Too bad lames will always be lames.
