With the cleared corners the car will look wider from the front, it's definately an improvement.

well thanks guys.... i want to clear the corners and sidemarkers but iam not exactly handy in that sense iam not sure if i can do it....dont want to damage the existing headlights and sidemarkers...as for the wheels yeah they kind of look small sometimes when i look at them but they are 18" panther valeras on 245/45 hankook tires... as for the grille it is a cdc grille that came with the lse kit that i installed about 6months ago...

I think with your dark color you should tint the side markers....If you can spray paint you can tint them. I did mine really dark but you can do it as dark as you like. You just have to wet sand them to get the lettering off and to make it smooth. I would be willing to trade mine with someone with the clear ones though...

Thats called SWS (Shrunken Wheel Syndrome). Thats what you call it when you purchase wheels for your car and then second guess if you should of gone bigger. I got it briefly after I bought my 18s for my Mark VIII. The cure for me was spending some time staring at them and realizing that I never could of got the stance and width of tire I did with a bigger rim. I put 20s on the LSE, no SWS this time.

The "LSE" is looking sweet! You modify your car the way you want and what you think looks good. It's an individual effort. Some like different things.

I think Panther makes good rims for its price. I have Panther Paragons on my Mercury Mystique and never had any balancing problems. I paid $1050 for rims and tires. I use 225/40/18 tires on em.

So, Josh you made a good, resonable choice on your rims man.
