Those are the ONLY rims I would trade my stock vert rims for. And the lip is looking aggressive.

I think it would look a lot better if the fender flares were molded in so you couldn't see the screws or the line where it was installed, but other than that, sweet

If it was my Car(which its not so stfu) I would paint the hood and light covers. Lower the wing about 6" and have a body shop mold the fender flares so that you can't tell they don't belong.

PS-Hell if its gonna be riced do it correctly.

Acually I like the race look with the screws in the flares. Makes it look like a race car. alot of people get show car confused with race car. Race cars don't get little things like molded in fenders. Great work on the car man

My post coun't has nothing to do with my knowledge base or anything else. Post count means one thing NOTHING.

My post above was ment as my oppinion and not as a suggestion of what he MUST do. I only offered some ideas to make the car look cleaner overall and not roughly put together with screws very visible and mismatched colors from the hood to the rest of the body.

I don't really like rice but atleast you can make it look "cleanly done" Bad rice is the ghetto looking kind.

Sorry dude, there's nothing "rice" about that car--it's all function and not about form. That's the kind of build that wins SCCA events.

That may be true. But I had no mod list to go off of.


From what I saw in Marcus's post he said "PP"
Is that for Preipheral port? if so I take the rice stuff back.

Not my car. My car is in my sig below.
But that car looks pretty nice and probably tears up the track more than I do.

Those rims are very very cool and the lip too.

Nice car! But can you drive?

j/k

I suck on a real autox course. I would hate to see how bad I am on an actual track.

I build my car. for one thing in mind to WIN the race, auto cross, track day or SCCA CLUB RACE( not drag race they refuse to let me run there because I had no window, however I had window net.) I dont think any thing on my car belong to ricer. ricer might had race car look but they are not driving real race car. YES I had 13B PP engine under hood. and to answer ur Q I had BBS LM on my car 18x10 with 265/35/18 wheels. during race I had 17x9 wheels with 255/40/17 KUMHO V700 dot tires

diyman25- I would like to say I am sorry. Finally someone that can actually back up what they put ont he outside of the car.


The reason i usually say RICE is because 90% of the time I see an FC with this kind of exterior work its some kid's base N/a! with a tii hood and huge rims and a large wing.

I commend you on a good build. I had no idea that beneath that shiny exterior there was a well built race car. It looks like you pulled out all the stops.

Good luck winning more races and representing the FC like it should be.

Santiago
