Read, Read, and Read again!

You do not have to post a pic!
I REPEAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO POST A PIC TO MAKE A COMMENT!

* it *is* ok to post comments about someone's photo without posting your own photo.

* it *is not* ok to ask questions in this thread. Questions about wheel specs, parts, when someone is showing up to a meet, when someone is coming into town, etc... Do not belong here. This is where pm's should be used or other sections of the forum.


Again, adding a picture does not make it ok to begin or continue "chit chat" in this thread. There is also a "wheel fitment" thread where wheel specific topics should be discussed (so we can centralize all that information):

Thanks guys Next step is some engine mods (V-mount I/C, R-W Billet Aluminum Throttle Body, AutoExe strut tower bar, etc) and some interior mods (repaint all the plastic, JDM Bubble Flower Shift **** Seiko) the exterior look is, in my opinion, just perfect like it is right now

For the House, it's the first house that was built in my town in 1787 (in Candiac, Qc, Canada) I tought it was a great place to shoot some pics with a classic monster :p

Totally agreed, and I've got to add that if I could do a proper repaint of mine, it'd be one hell of a hard toss-up between yours & pito14b's color as well!

You do not have to post a pic to make a comment, this was just brought up on the last page.

I had wheels almost as ugly as yours and I refused to bring it out of the garage until I found a set of stock wheels

The real flaw with that FEED bumper and the replica is that its fiberglass. I wish someone would make it in urethane. I've been through two bumpers and two repairs on my FEED replica and the bumper is damaged again and in need of repair and respray. NYC streets are the worst and this bumper just cant take it.
