My son, who works for Toyota mounted my Enkei RZ-5 on Saturday. I think it looks pretty good. Now to lower it a bit and some blue head lamps and I am set. the Enkei's are a gun metal gray with a machined lip. It blends well with the silver paint job. Photos attached, and no, I am not holding the steering wheel.

In case you are wondering, the bump on the left shoulder is a broken shoulder with lots of scar tissue. It is not my evil twin trying to emerge. At my age, surgery is out of the question.

 

look pretty good, it'll look even better with a nice drop

 

looking good. good start

 

i hope i'm still modding at your age. you sir, are the man. and nice wheels too.

 

looking good, nice wheels!

 

^^^x2!!!

 

Very clean - I like that setup a lot. I suggest lowering it with some mid-range springs like Tanabe NF210's for a great stance.

Then in the future, if your son thinks it's a good idea, maybe some dimpled/slotted rotors?

 

unless hes going with bigger brakes dimpled/slotted rotor will decrease his braking speed, drill/slots hurt, dont help, tanabe's and swaybars will help though

 

Drop it, and it will look great!

 

For aesthetics, naturally...

 

Duh! hahahaha

 

for aesthetics that reduce his braking abilities?

 

Why, yes, that is correct. Why do women wear high heels? For aesthetics, regardless of the poor posture and possible back problems in the future?

But I sure as hell want my woman to look good and wear some heels!

Naturally, I want a box to look good, so dimpled/slotted rotors are vital!!

 

thanks for all the replies. I have not been able to get on the forum over the past several days. It seems that all the pages were blank and would not respond.

PS: I know that I am 60 on the outside, but as a high school science teacher, I am still young on the inside. I have ALWAYS wanted ghost flames-silly or no?

 

Awesome. I've almost earned my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, so I'll be teaching K-6.

As for the ghost flames... it's your box. Make it match your style. I think that would look nice as long as you don't overdo it. If you do get flames, what about putting it on the roof? I think that would be different. It would be more visible once you add some lowering springs to your car, too.

 

Not sure how ghost flames would look on CSM... usually they're ghosted into darker body colors.

Anybody want to try photo-chopping for him?

 

theyd work on his CSM, just with an even lighter silver maybe even edged with a really light blue
