Thumbs up

Great combo Prlgs3

I'm slowly working on this setup too

I like the black slits you did. Yeah, the l-sports wheels don't come with centercaps, I had to pay the seller to order new ones :

Lots of nice rides coming out this week
Are you on the pearl/crystal white list?

Thanks for the updated pictures

Did you try putting the stock center caps?
They fit, but you have to get the chromes though.

Man those are excellent pics. Almost makes me wish I shouldnt have given them up.

Nonetheless, that is one nice ride.

Are you running standard tire setup or fat setup?

Yeah John, I really appreciate you selling those to me!

Thanks for the compliment. I still got to find some time to do a really good wax job on my car. I am really digging those rides that have that extra shine!

My tires are 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear. The rear looks kind of stretched but I don't have too many options with 19's.

I really like the look of the front bumper slats in black. Can you post any additional photos that offer a closer look. Thanks in advance-

Yea, the front looks good. Did the shop paint it or did you spray paint the slats in the front? Looks good.

Thanks. I painted the slats myself. I had to sand off the original paint, primer it, sand that layer until it was smooth and paint it with a flat black (non-gloss). The whole thing costed me no more than $15 to do. It just took a lot of time because of the many vertical bars that held the slats to the bumper; those took forever to sand and tape around. All you really need are 1 spray can of flat black, 1 spray can of primer, 2 types of sand paper (1 for stripping, 1 for smoothing), tape and some newspaper (to cover the bumper)....oh, and some patience.

I will post some closer pictures once I get a chance.

And the tail lights are the OEM 2001+ lights. Got those Darrel from Sewell.
