It looks good, better if you polish the lip on the wheels.

I really like how the rear wheel is concave, and front is convex. Too many flat faced rims on the market!

The wheels look great with the car. I love the color combo. I've been thinking about getting some bronze gram lights for my white 94 too. I'm seriously considering them now.

Looks good. First time I see those gram lights on a FD. I like them, What size are they and offset?

Okay now for the bad news. There are 4 things that would make the car look better:
1. Get rid of the stripe on the side of the car, it actually breaks the out line of the car.
2. Get a 99 spec or R1 lip
3. Get some or make some 99 Spec tail lights
4. tint the windows but not too bark (this one is actually optional)

Other than that the car looks clean. i actually like it without the wing too. Is making me think about removing my wing.

Your FD is looking sweet, Fisa . It's too bad we never got to meet in person when you came by the shop. How is that motor holding up for you ?

hey thanks guys. i thought i'd get mixed replies. its kinda different which is why i did it. i really wanted those 57 pros with the polished lip but these were in such nice condition.

17x8.5 and 17x9.5 +40 and +38 offset. They came off Aznplayer's Supra.

the engine is still running strong, i hit 100k on Thursday so thats about 9k on the motor. you ever see my car up there Rich?

the stripe on the car makes it more rare, as a dealer 2-3k option, so I am not taking it off.
i dont like 99 spec tail lights, i dont like tint...but I do want a 99 spec front end.

What size tires? Nice look - I like the way the rears are "flush" with the body...
