Those wheels are definitely hawt. I'd leave your car the way it is, it's looking good except for the tiny crack below the left headlight.

It'll buff right out.

PUT CLEAR ON

PUT CLEAR ON

Just letting you know. I did this to my 5Zigens back in....... 2003. I clearcoated with I think *one* semi-heavy coat. It was not enough. Little rocks that get thrown up get either stuck in the clear and then eventually just eat away the paint as they hit it. I'd recommend 2-3 LIGHT coats of clear so it doesn't chip as easy.

Excuse the wheelgap and kit^.

Yours look hot btw.

:EDIT: Time for a new sig.... and: what Potenzas are you running, and what size? thx.

Alright guys, don't ruin the thread with comments about my car, YEARS ago. I just posted it cuz we painted the lips the same. Jesus Christ.

Yep--exactly. I had the Mopar CO's, so it didn't matter... I could just lower it more. On Kazeras now and I need to lose the rest of the gap somehow!
