Default Pixs of my car

Here is a pix of my car. It was raining so the clarity isn't that great. (Just got a digital camera and couldn't wait until a sunny day to post!!) Let me know what you guys think. Also I will post a pix of it one day once it is sunny and all washed up.

what size are the rims and tires? They look good. What does the offset have to be when you get rims for the 98+ GS?

My rims are 20's. I am not sure of the offset that they have to be. Check with some of the other members on the board. Someone should know because everyone is riding on Dubz. BTW: Thanks for the compliments.

Nice 20s, but it looks like you seriously be needin to re-paint your calipers - that takes away from the appearance of the wheels with redish-orange paint all chipped off like that... paint doesn't look like it matches the car's color either. Maybe that's just something wrong with the digital image?
Nice GS over all though - just offering some constructive criticism. Who am I to criticize though since I've never posted pics of my ride? gotta get a digi-cam!

CK, I think my man knows that those calipers need to be painted.
And plus there's all types of brake dust on it.. After a good washing I'm sure they don't look that terrible..

Thanks mrsypher. The car is a little dirty but the brakes do need repainting. I didn't use heat resistant paint. It was just a test painting last time. I will repaint and post some more pixs soon. Thanks for the compliments though guys.

Just offering a friendly word is all... Didn't mean to be rude - I have a tendency to let my mouth (or my fingers in this case) get me in trouble when I really don't mean to. It just came off that way. But you're right sypher - I probably just shoulda kept my mouth shut. You know that whole saying - "if you don't have something nice to say..." anyways.

Like I said though, who am I to criticize? I've never even posted pics of my own ride, so until I do, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut!

Speaking of painting - got the lid of that cold air box you sold me painted now sypher... high gloss black - it's gonna look nice when the whole box is painted; that was a great idea. I'm gonna do a plexi-glass window in that lid too.

I'll post pics of all that and that rest of my ride as soon as I can talk my buddy into letting me borrow his digicam for a weekend - then you guys can all give me suggestions for what I might improve on my ride!
