New Wheels, Tint, and Grille

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: 9enisP

I've got angel eyes on the way and that's when I'll clear the headlights. I went out on a limb and got 20" wheels with a 34mm offset and I love 'em. I using 245/35 tires and there is no rubbing whatsoever. I don't have any more money so I won't be lowering it anytime soon. Thanks for the Red Stuffs and LSE grille Ken. It's been raining everyday here so disregard the dirty car.

SWEET!
Really dig the chrome on black and the wheels look just right.

what did you have to do to the caliper to get the red added there? did you just paint that section or is there a specific part that i need to add

Posted by: buddyleee5

nevermind realized it was jsut the brake pads, that looks sweet with the touch of red

Nice ride I like the chrome with black as well, looks sharp....but I would have got the foose's....I may be bias though....j/k

I would also suggest a set of the drilled and slotted rotors. They look great behind these type of wheels, very noticable

I have the EBC Red Stuffs and I bought some CRC Disc Brake Quiet

and put it all over the back. It hardens up a little bit and thats what gives it the bright red look. I like it too.

Looks sharp man. I really like the wheels. Quiet a bit different from the last time we meet. Oh, and don't worry about the money thing, I don't know a lot of ppl that do.....Well, maybe the exception of Ken.

Nope. As you can tell, all pics are from her good side.

I got a new chrome piece but I still need a new bumper. I just figured wheels, tint, and angel eyes would be way more noticeable than that scratch.

Posted by: 02V8Sport

I've got 20% on the sides, 5% on the back, and a 5% strip across the windshield. I love it. I should have done it a long time ago.

okay, thanks.. did the lse grill come with the chrome bars or did you buy that chrome bar stick on kit from ebay?

Posted by: jgfish97

Are you going to get the back surround to match the black? It gives it more of an LSE look.

Looks good!

Posted by: NateRW21

looks good... but man do those binders look tiny now with all that unfilled space behind the wheels!!!!

The '04-'06 has the chrome waterfall and the painted surround. I got it from www.lskoncepts.com. Thanks Ken.

Not for $229. No way. I like the chrome anyway.

I'm actually from Tennessee, but the Air Force has me stationed at Whiteman AFB, MO right now. It's about an hour or so south of Kansas City. I drive through both O'Fallons at least once a month when I go to Tennessee. I'm guessing your on the Missouri side of STL?
