Johnee, I have to tip my hat to you for doing a few things and taking chances. I think the wheels look really nice and aggressive. The no-bolt/stretched tire look really plays off one another very nicely. The lip looks GOOD with that combo. And the stretch is not overly aggresive. I have to give you props for doing what I did not, taking a 1st Gen to the next level.

The roof spoiler is a very subtle, yet nice addition as well.

Good job overall, and I'm quite sure there is more in store!

Very nice, I love the color so much, I tell D all the time that the gold is one of if not my favortie. The wheels are sick, very clean and I was like hey where are the JP products, then I scanned up to the roof spoiler and was like ah yes very nice.

Default Thanks for all the comments....

Ed(LFL)- Thanks for the love and all your help..

Lexaristo-My car as you know is lowered on TEIN CS and I am at about 1 in the front and a broken finger in the back..These coilovers so far has been the best mod I have done to my car and they ride amazing and handle better than my eibachs ever did. I have the greddy mx exhaust and normally this is a catback exhaust but I am currently only running the axle back portion of it. And yes, so far you are the only one to notice the roof spoiler ....Don't worry bro, your coilvers will take some time to get here but believe me that they are worth the wait...

John(junctiongs)-Thanks again for all your help and the roof spoiler is NOT the only thing from JP thats going on my car.. lets just say it's getting another coat of clear.. More JP to come..

Rominl- I did lower it, but it's going to come down more I want broken finger gaps front and back.. I am also deciding if and what bodykit to go with , I haven't decided yet..Hey john can you help me out with this one.. There is more to come though..

Choppinlex- Thanks for the kind words and I purchased my wheels directly from Iforged..

uptowngs- I am confused.I have 20x8.5 high disk in the front and 20x10 in the back and I have a little over 2 inch lip in the front and a 3.75 in the back..How much wider do you want me to go?? But I have a platinum tint btw...

jtanoyo1-thanks for the comment but you bow down to me??I think it's the other way around..

derrick(Dgot20s)- Thanks for the love..You've always been there to give advice and have an open mind to different things and supported me on my ideas and questions and especially on the introduction of my car..Thanks for everything and just being there and yes there is plenty more in store, coming very soon..

Mario(justis) Glad to see you on the boards and especially my thread..thanks for the comments..

beauphus- I live in hallandale, but I drove up to adrians(bluelex) house and in west palm beach to take the shots..

I also wanted to send another shout out to adrian(bluelex) For not only taking these beautiful pics but also for his hospitality..thanks again adrian and the pizza was awesome!!

I mean the tires seem to be a tad too narrow for the 20x10's The lip surpasses the tires by a few millimeters.

but NOICE anyways!!! just a small detail.

thats cool, but I wanted a some what stretched look and thats why I went with that tire size..It not bad to ride on either..The tire size you makes notice the wheel and the lips more..
