Few new pics...

Post by **Canada** » Mon May 23, 2011 4:28 pm

I was bored this morning after redoing my entire roof, so I pulled the car across the street for a few pics.

Need to do some photoshop to take the brightness out because I loaned my filters to a friend...

Lowered it since last pics and got my summer rubber and wheels on... Open to suggestions as to what I should do to spice up the wheels a little. Also, took off the LED tails for a more stock look.

A set of brushed aluminum trim rings on those wheels would look sweet! Even chrome would be OK.

Car does look damn nice

lol, "summer wheels/tires"

I'm honestly not a fan of the SRT-D front bumper, never have been. However, with a different front end, I'd love the overall look of the car. Clean and lowered on steelies is always cool for a daily driver.

What did you lower it with?

Post by **Canada** » Mon May 23, 2011 9:45 pm

Thanks for the feedback guys. The wheels are 16" VW steelies from a New Beetle. Its lowered on custom springs (Don't ask how I customized them lol) New springs should be here soon, it will go up a tiny bit I think...

I was thinking trim rings too but am having a really hard time finding a set anywhere... Also maybe small caps to cover the centres in a matching finish.

Rings. First two are SS and the last one are plastic.

It's not Canada's but here is a pic that can be chopped to show the lip kit on an SRT-D setup with steelies...

I can't find affordable SS trim rings, but I don't want to go chrome... Hmm time to call local wheel shops and junkyards lol.

You know how I feel about the steel wheel look but if its what you're into get some cheap trim rings and paint them?? maybe even something funky like red?

I'm late to the party but cast my vote for trim rings.

x2 get those steelies rebarreled and you'll be set

Very clean. Still not a fan of SRT-D fronts, IMO it makes an otherwise clean car look a bit goofy. Steelies look unusually nice though, did you PC them?

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Wed May 25, 2011 9:38 pm

i think it is a srt-d lol

Post by **Canada** » Thu May 26, 2011 10:14 pm

Steelies were media blasted and then powdercoated black. May have located a set of rings

Want to do something with the exhaust before Carlisle... Think my DP is cracked or broken:(

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Thu May 26, 2011 10:17 pm

I vote trim rings. I got massive flack for them on my old cars, but it doesn't mean I lost love for them. Do et!

chris...how many coils did you remove from those springs cause i know my car was definitely not that low when it was rocking those springs

Post by **Canada** » Fri May 27, 2011 7:06 am

IDK what you're talking aboot lol

I think I installed them wrong actually lol. I think I initially put the rears on the front, and then I was too lazy to swap them around, so I took about a coil off the rear to bring it down a little lower
