you know thats the one thing i hate about jersey and new york, they make us put on front plates

so how much time to you spend keeping your rims white? i like the grill, blends in nice

[TITO]

Thanks. You know, it's really hard to keep them clean because you have to also wash the inside (back side?) of the rim but, gotta keep looking good.

lol.. i had to take a double look at yur license plate..looked vulgar for a sec

so that's what a clean car looks like? damn snow has everyone's car ugly!

i like tho rims, they look hot w/ the diamond white paint

No snow in Central California, temps have been in the mid 80"s all Nov.

[Missay]

80??? thanks for letting me know...

my weather icon on the computer says it's 15degrees ....u know what that means....ICE!!

as much of a pain it is to wash those rims, at least u can still wash it! i'm dreading my first "auto car wash" trip..ooo..think of the scratches, and how impersonal! lol..i like to labor over every inch of the car scrubbing and polishing!

you would get rid of those white rims in a heart beat if you had snow. my tires aren't even black right now, they're salty white as is the black paint.

Very original! I've never seen that kind of grille, fog light location, skirts, and rear skirts! Looks clean..but u gotta get front skirts now

[Flipside909]

Definitely different! Good work. I'm not a fan of white rims on any car. I like the mesh action on the grille. Nice touch.

Sweet ride. Looks good! In contrast to what Flipside said, I actually think white rims look good on white cars. On any other color they look wacky though. What kind of material did u use for your grill? Also, what kind of body kit is that?

[Peter]

hey, sweet ride. what size are those rims, there's still a lot of space left between tire and fender....arent the intrax supposed to drop like 1.8? what size tires also? nice clean ride though. im also not a fan of white rims, but i still like the car.

[Blaze]

yep car looks good, i like the grille alot

[pecora55]

Missay, just use a no touch car wash there a Sparkle Wash around you? thats what i use makes it look nice they also have the spotless stuff that gets put on, it does a decent job, but i still dry it myself, no scratches like the scrub ones, just use one of them

[pecora55]

oh and TITO did u cut out the bottem pieces on the grille or what? just wondering, looks good...

Ehh No touch still doesn't get the salt from the roads off the car. It takes a lot of TLC (Tender love and car) to get a car looking clean. I miss the warm weather and washing my car everyday

Thanks for the encouragement. I put alot of time and thought into the mods I've done so far. The grill material I got from Kragen. I cut the original grill center part leaving the frame part only then you have to sand it smooth then insert the mesh. On the bottom part, I did cut out the center piece and sanded it smooth and then I had my body shop paint the bottom part. Then I inserted the grill mesh. I used the fog lights because the look good add lumination and they also fill the space left when I cut out the center piece. The body kit is custom, yes I still need the front corner skirts. The intracs lowered it 1.6" and the tires are 215/40/17. She sits very low with the sring/tire combo, sometimes I scrape. I'm thinking next time to get a little higher profile tires to help avoid scraping and to fill in the wheel wells more.
