Default Finally, my car has some new toys!!!

I've only got one pic so far, should be able to get more up later in the week. This fourm gave me so much info and great advice on how to mod our cars. I've been doing my homework and piecing everything together for a while now. There are definitely a few more things I want to do, but I'm very happy with the way things turned out.

By the way, i took this pic with my new Palm Pre, all I can say is that this phone is way sick!!

They are Sevas forged wheels, brushed face with a chrome lip. I will get more pics posted of the car this week.

The ride is better than I expected. I actually got softer springs since I could adjust the stiffness, and Im happy with it so far. Still lots of room to go down farther and to stiffen it up, but I like the way it looks and rides for the time being. For the price you cant beat them IMO.
