Like my new wheels?

I've got the full set of Longchamps, but only had time to mount the front ones on... check it out

Did you paint your car yourself? If so how?

I want mine to look like that.

I bought the car like that. I'll be painting it SILVER and probably selling the bumper.

Nah, the car came with the paint. Looks like a rattle can paint job too... the lines you can see cross the hood.

Haha, yea the windsheild. I won't drive a car if I see the slightest glare or imperfection on all windows/mirrors. Detracts from my ability to drive as I would.

Yea, the set I have are staggered. The guy I got them off of doesn't know the offset, but the other pair look about 5-10mm more negative than the front... which would work out just about perfectly

Yea, it's an SE. God damn I love having this bolt pattern, regardless that most of the awesome wheels have too radical of an offset to fit within these stock fenders.

Yes, paint if terrible I agree. Especially living in SoCal, it becomes a cop-magnet. Can't wait to paint the car silver and clean.

Those look awesome.

I agree with you too, as cool as flat black looks, I think it should be left to something from the 50's.

I still kind of snicker when I see that bumper, I instantly get reminded of a key hole.

If that Airdam is fiberglass, I'm interested if you sell it - very "80's" and just what I'm after. Let me know via PM.

Yep, the airdam is that cool old school "cassette tape-door" looking one. Very unique. I like it.
