Rims look nice, I don't really think you need currens because I think you're tails match your rims now! Plus, they were nice to begin with.

Thanks guys I'm glad every body like the new rims and the car
The paint is a Chrysler paint called Inferno Red. The nitrous isn't REALLY hooked up. We just ran all the lines while the engine was out so it was easier. I just put it back on the road this past weekend so I want to make sure everything is working right before I start messing with the nitrous. Oh yea the curren tails are on in the pics  forgot to mention thatThis post has been edited by C3L1CA: May 10, 2006 - 12:23 PM -------------------- -Brad

Hands down the best looking coupe ive seen. I normally hate the way coupes look, but yours is amazing. Those rims are perfect, they go well with that dark red... and the currens just finish the look. I think you should go with a darker tint if possible just to bring everything out...but regardless nice car.
Ps. not a fan of the non matching seats...multi shades of red = a big no no lol. --------------------  I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club! |

what really attracts me is the holes right behind the front tire...the link u gave me didnt have that, is it still in that fender kit?
well, nevermind, i guess with it varying on each car thats what you get, im tempted to drop some money on them there nice does anyone know how much it would cost to color match so i can install them? i have stock 96 limited aniversary black paint, but im not sure what it would cost around to paint them. thanks This post has been edited by Griff: May 30, 2006 - 5:44 PM -------------------- |
