Borrowed my friends camera and i found a nice little spot on the way home from school. Sounded like the perfect opportunity for me to snap a few pics of the new rims since my car hasn't really been to seen around here. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

I'm a really beginner with photography i thought it would look nice.. But now i see the irony. I'm lowered on BC racing Coilovers.

Plenty! I've actually gotta start slowing down now until i at least start getting some more money coming in. But the near future i have PPE headers coming in, sway bars and tt supra BBK. Long term plans? Lsx swap!

Next time i'll make sure NOT to include a dumpster. I really want to go lower but i wouldn't be able to make it around town. The drive to my gym has a pretty steep slant to it and i barely, like 1/8th inch clear it with the height i'm at right now. So if i go any lower i'm guna scrape the crap out of it. And i go to the gym just about every day. From the look of the pics though, the rear seems to be a little higher than the front. So i'm guna bring them down to even it out.

Wow Tim, that car is absolutely gorgeous! Remember a while ago when that guy told you that you basically just came on here buying tasteless mods? He has NO idea what he's talking about!

Solution: Find another entrance.
