I agree, that's why I went with 20" wheels that have a classy styling to them.

I'll have wheels on the way shortly. 20x8.5 front and 20x10.5 rear



It should look similiar to this


Tanabe exhaust and Tanabe springs since they seem to be less problematic with the AWD cars. I'll be home in June and will see the car for the first time then and will get busy getting this stuff installed. I can't wait

what is this car??
