It's been about a month and my springs still havnt settled. Do you think my buddy did somthing wrong?

Yes, the fronts are on the rears and the rears are on the fronts. I.e. Your springs are installed backwards. At least that's how it looks to me....

stripes only look good down the middle IMO

Do not like stripes

They also don't look parallel.

Yeah, sorry, but the stripes don't work for me either.

I think if you are trying to tie in the white wheels, maybe some white 'Cuda's might work better.

I am not a big fan of those either, as they are sort of played out, but they would look nicer IMHO.

But if they work for you, fine.

If not, hey, you tried something different and it isn't as you thought it would be, take the loss and chalk it up to the cost of an education.

If you don't make mistakes, you don't learn anything either. I have done things I regretted afterwards, but you aren't going to know if you don't try.

^^^^^ I can tell everyone rly like what I've done with my car....but anyways thanks for the input on the springs

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Sun May 23, 2010 8:28 am

yeah, not digging the stripes either... sorry man.

i do however like the white wheels. car will look much better once you get the springs swapped though

Ok so I have a newbie question since I didn't even do the springs and struts I just watched. Can the whole strut and spring assembly just be swapped or do the springs have to be swapped and the struts stay at the wheel there at now?

glasswars · Post by **glasswars** » Sun May 23, 2010 12:10 pm

The springs have to be swapped. Can't swap the struts. And I don't like the stripes either. But nice for putting white on blaze red. Now just make it look good.

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Sun May 23, 2010 1:55 pm

Yup springs look to be on backwards.

I am with all the others on the stripes too. They do make the rims stand out more.

Lufkom · Post by **Lufkom** » Sun May 23, 2010 6:16 pm

Alright thanks guys. Aideas then on the stripes cuz I don't like to just have the white rims and no other white

lilnicko11 · Post by **lilnicko11** » Sun May 23, 2010 6:48 pm

^ then do yourself a favor. either go back to stock rims or sell these and get something else if your worried about those being the only thing white.

The stripes have to go or you will just keep getting shit for them. and swap the springs. not the whole assembly

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Sun May 23, 2010 7:02 pm

Blaze red pulls off white wheels quite nicely. Dn't ened any vinyl garbage on there..Or maybe..

Just chiming in to put in my 1/50th of a dollar. If ya want attention (good bad or otherwise) then leave the stripes. I personally would not want them, but that's just my preference(and it sounds like most other peoples preference too,,,,,lol). If the rear stripe went all the way across the trunk/spoiler I would consider doing that on my Red 04 SXT. Altho in the pics the stripes certainly make the wheels look something other than white, but that may just be the photo taking equipment that was used. But irregardless, if you like it great. But I hope you like it enough to take some bashing from those who don't. Who gives a poop, it's your car, it will certainly get noticed and enjoy your ride, your way.

stripes look like shit, white on red is cool but only if its the wheels, no decals
