Just washed the whitebox, new rims all sparkly clean :D
So I rushed home to get a chance to wash this thing because it was filthy from a weekend of rain driving. Also the first time its been photographed with new shooooooz. The drip marks on the ground are from my playing drip police, the fogs hold crazy pools of water in front of em hahah.
OK to the pics.
sitting in front of the garage
the downside to +40 offset =\
ok so I'm whoring out the rims
view from my favorite part of the apt, our two-car garage... its two cars *long* but still gets the job done. btw some old dude owns that moped and he scoots around on it like a gangsta ;)
before anyone asks, yes I gave up on the little insert grill pieces, they kept falling out and I'm lucky I found one when it popped (I drove over the damn thing)
the car and the home. renting sucks, but we've got 2 bathrooms a garage and I'm not in 700K of debt for a condo (yay OC) so I'm done worrying about it.
Currently I'm debating grabbing a set of black side mirrors. If anyone has a pic of an otherwise all-SW box with black mirrors... post em up.
just for fun:
an older pic of the gf's car from our old place. (and I just noticed, my old wheels *sigh*)
I just got some custom plates today too, but I'm still a tad too paranoid to post em up lol, maybe someday...

heh, like I said the tC pic is older so trust me that car is clean. My gf is crazier than I am about keeping her car clean. Even our detail guys are amazed at how little work is needed when they get to work on her engine bay. They do alot of import shows and work for manufac. cars. Direct quote from them "Most show-car guys dont keep their bay this clean, they rely on us to clean it up"
Anyway. The wheels aren't GT3's but you'd be hard-pressed to find the difference. They are Drag DR16's or something. The diff was the price for me so it was a no brainer. The drags are actually a bit cleaner because rota stamps their wheels with the JWL tags right in the center between the lug holes where the drags do all their stamping behind the rim, so you get a clean face.
Tire size is 205/55/15. I like the fattiness look of them :) Considering 215's for the next set if they'd look right....... anyway probably not because I am very close to rubbing the inner control arm. If you want to run this tire size without spacers you couldn't go any higher than +40, +42/43 would rub for sure.
Yes I'm considering spacers, but don't know if I just want to do +5mm shims or +15 h&rs or what. Still debating, just glad I'm not rubbing the insides haha. I know I complained a bit about the lower grills not going in. There's some interference issues with the front lip causing them to be a pain to get back in, but truth is I'm wierd and the look with them out has grown on me =P
ok one more shot from the back:

''So fresh and so clean, clean''. The B looks great man, i really like the pics, good contrast with the building and an overall sweet look. I'd be afraid to drive it now with it so clean, but you got to go places, right... Keep up the good work.
Clean box!

I would have thought those were 16"s, they look pretty damn good.
I would suggest "chrome" turn signal bulbs in the headlights. Unless you like the blue egg-yolk. It just clashes with the yellow fogs. (which look good)
Lovin' the black grill, tint, and lip kit!
Lower black billet grilles would look clean, and solve the problem down there.
Very clean box!

Ya I thought about switching the silverstar turn signals to the all chrome->amber ones. Maybe I'll pickup a set and see how they look. I want to do something custom to the lowest grill to clean it up, but I dont like chicken wire nor do I loke the billet stuff, so I'm unsure hehe. Anyway the tint % is "Limo" which I think is like 35%? I dunno my family has been using the same tint guy for 10+ years and 15+ cars through friends and references so I just leave it to him.
I should have taken a pic with the lights on or something, maybe I'll get a dusk pic out tonight with the lights on.
Thanks for all the + comments :)
EDIT: Just rememberd I had this one sitting around...
Still, I'll try to get one in later.
