Default Finally Dressed Up My Car *Pics Inside*

Don' have any pics from under the hood yet, it was a dark day when we took pics. All that's under there is a Ractive strut bar and AEM short ram now anyways.

The rims are 17" RH M5's.....yes I know it needs to be lowered, but the tires are too big IMO. They are 215/45/17. I wanna get 205/40/17 beforeI put on springs. I have Neuspeed Race springs in my room. The tires I have on my rims now are practically brand new, so if anyone out there has the size I am looking for and would like to trade (with good tread left) I am willing to trade, and can take pics to show tread left.

Anyways, here are the pics. It was really foggy out at the beach that day but my friend has his sister's digi cam so he wanted to take pics. I lowered the opacity on all of them, some more than others, so if something looks light, it really doesn't look like that.









They still look pretty dark, so next time I can get my friend to get the digi cam I will take pics on a good day.


But anyways, what do you guys think?

Yeah, it came with the car......just haven't gotten around to taking it off yet. I might keep it, maybe not.



But thanx.

Wow. I had a friend that got that exact same tire size for his prelude by mistake and they look off. I can only imagine what that wheel/tire combo looks like in person. Smart choice about switching tires first before lowering it...

I've never seen these rims on a car before ever. Maybe it's different where you live.

Although quite a few people have Konig Monsoon's which look similar, maybe that's what you're thinking about.

In any case, I am buying new rims next summer, will probably sell these to a friend.

And yes, it's my car...I'm sure I would see things I don't like on yours, like how people should paint the CF hoods like they are supposed to.



And the Ractive strut bar was like one of the first 2 things I bought, didn't have money but wanted to do something to the car. Strut bars don't really do anything anyways unless you are taking a turn at high speeds, which only happens on a track most of the time. I guess it's for looks.


Stickers are just silver AEM stickers. They are probably coming off soon anyways.


And the eyelids, I like them, gives it a nice sleek look IMO.
