my first FC had steelies on it. It was a red SE. I absolutely LOVED the way they looked. The only thing better were my 14X8 1984 Toyota P-Type wheels (painted black).

Lose the lip, though...or put some time into fitting it better.

Oh...and here's something. Borrow an air compressor (unless you have one) and go get a $15 paint gun from wal-mart. Then go to Autozone (wal-mart might carry it, actually) and get a can of heavy duty black primer and have a go at her. Primered FC's look ******* sick (as long as the stock primer/paint underneat was intact it'll last long and be strong too).

Hey at least they're black steelies...my fc's wearing 14" silver steelies with winter tires

Is it just me or are his FTP lenses lighting up by themselves? Did the previous owner do that ghetto "Jspec FTP mod" thing?

I will do that with my next FTP's...lol...but mine will be with a set of landing lights or something. Thinking LED's would be slick. Anyways...

When I went and looked at my first FC, she had the black steelies with a chrome ring aorund the lip of the wheel (looked so cool for some reason). The next day when I went to pick her up the ***** had painted the wheels, hubs, everything an iff-silver color. Pissed me off. Took three weeks to get that **** off and the wheels back to a glossy black.

if you look at the pic where there car is parked in the road look at the right side of the lip it was cut to length and they only cut one side. you can tell because the opening goes farther out on oneside than it does on the other side. it lookes lke it came off a car wider than a semi truck. just my .02 but its a aight project i guess, how is the interior?
