The always changing CYM, what cha think??

Well the only 2 new things lately are the FEED headlight cover and the wheels, they used to black and I changed them to white to see if I would like it more, turns out I personally do and I am sure alot of you wont but thats ok, its my car, lol. Just wanted to show what they would look like if anyone was every interested, later guys,

Oh yeah, they are stock wheels there stud. Why does every CYM have to look stock??? I am sure your car looks all stock too, I like to have fun with my car, which doesnt include leaving it all stock looking.

It was no money, I did them myself. They used to be black though, here is a pic of that. I like the white better though, brightens things up and for some reason adds more class and doesnt look so dirty.

I have to agree with ya...Steve's FD looks SO GOOD with black wheels...It kind of has an intimidating look to it...

...but it doesn't look bad with white...

...and IMO...the wing has to go...

Yeah, I definitely agree.

Your cym looks sweet, and would look awesome with some other spoiler. That Veilside spoiler is just nasty. I think it totally ruins the looks of the 3rd gen.

Maybe try going without a wing at all? You'd prolly be the first cym to have no spoiler

I actaully went awhile without the wing on and kinda liked the look, real sleek. However I didnt have the holes sealed up so I put the wing back on so my car wouldnt get full of water when it rained. I am however looking for a Racing Beat Type II wing so if anyone out there has one let me know, thanks guys,

Steve

It's funny you mention that--I know of one for sale in NY. The guy's name is Anthony--his aol IM handle is rotary93, and I believe that is his screenname here on the forum as well. From the pics he sent me it looks to be in great shape, although it is painted red. I'm pretty sure it's still available--

Here is the beginning of the new pics. I am seeing a pretty common thread here though, everyone likes the black wheels better and hates the wing, thats ok though, I like the look of the car and since I am the one paying for it and driving it I guess its all good. Although I do feel you guys on the wing, I am looking for a new one, it takes time, lol,

Steve

I wouldn't put white wheels on anything but a white car that matched exactly.
