you need to drop that ****,
those wheels are nice,
but would look a million times better with a lower rideheight.

that rear bumper lip is kinda akward too.

just being honest.

and yes having a front lip and a lowered car will mean some scrapeage..
but you dont drive a car like an rx7 to go plowing top speed over speedbumps ditches and driveway ramps!!!

IMO if you get a proper car and are going to modify it,
modify it properly and adjust your driving accordingly.

Looks good, those brake calipers might look good in a black or dark silver.......just in case you've got it jacked up and don't have something else to do. Josh

Looks good. I agree with the rear bumper thing though (if it were my car). But if you like it, that's all that matters. Congrats on the new purchase.

I thought maybe that rear bumper thing was a rear diffusor.

I want these rims badly. Unfortunately they're not available in Europe.
Only 17" rims that look big (without going with 18") on FD.

Lovely !

It's a stock hood that he modified.
