Thumbs up Painted OEMs

/*************************UPDATED****************** *********/

Just put my "new" wheels back on. They look killer i think.


For some reason, the blue came out as a baby blue in this pic, its much darker than this!!

Anyone have any suggestions on what tails would look good w/ these? I am thinking the OEM clear/smoked looking ones?

ps - the damn pics wouldnt resize! Sorry guys!

Yea, first mod actually...except for LEDs in footwell haha. I am wanting to drop it but need some opinions on good/cheap springs. Being a broke ass college student sucks haha. Any opinions?

Thanks guys!

Not bad, not bad. Tires need a spit shine though.

For lowering springs a lot of members are using Skunk 2 and Progress springs. However I'd personally would wait and save up for some coilovers, T1R is supposed to be making some coilovers that offer 12 way dampening adjustably for around 700 Canadian Dollars.

what? for real? Cause no offense to Skunk2, but if Tein had the super streets available for the fit instead of the basic dampers, i'd be all over it.... But T1R would be my second choice. I'm glad to hear they're jumping on it.

Exclamation

ya know though, i don't know many guys that use T1R suspension... And if T1R is just now manufacturing some for the fit, do you think they'll make the same mistake that Skunk2 made with the little clips?

The T1R set up will be lowering springs with adjust damping shocks, they won't have adjustable ride hight.

T1R does make coilovers with hight adjustment (B52) but they are $1500 http://www.aj-racing.com/catalog/pro...cat=141&page=2
