Actually, I like the side skirts (Knightsports/Racing Beat). It just looks a little odd with the skirts and no lip (which you do have, just not on the car for the pics). The skirts look really nice when molded.

Since my eyes aren't working well today, what kind of rims are they?

I like the blacked out windows. Makes it look like a night rider. Rims really look good on the silver. Just get that lip back on and it will be a beauty.

That looks awesome!

What are the specs on the wheels and what suspension are you running?

Those rims look damn good on your car. I like the side skirts by the way. if you decide to go with a different set of side skirts and want to sell for a good price, maybe i will be in the financial position to buy them.

I love Fikse's. Nice looking car. Silver is gorgeous.
Are you going to change the color when you repaint?

Where did you purchase your tires?

And no one has asked yet, but how much for the wheels?

I just noticed your sig. Brian.
Man you are really making some power. That thing must be rediculous. Now I see why you need those Nitto's.
