Lookin' sweet man!


Some people aren't a fan of this .... but painting the tail light bezels black may look good. I hate it when someone tells me I SHOULD do something. Whatever your taste is. Just a thought. I know I painted mine to match the wheels ... and got smoked lights ... and everything suits MY taste now. A small spacer may help the rear, too. Just some constructive thoughts.



Regardless, she looks awesome as is.

odd you say those things..... i was going to actually get the bezels painted but ive changed my mind. i want to be different. im going to paint the wing black. i know i know...you guys are probably thinking "has he lost his mind?"

i think it will be different but a good different. also the wheels spacers....i wanted some 3/4" inch ones but the more i look into them, the more horror stories i hear. now i know if you get the good ones with the studs, they are supposedly safe but im not sure i want to try it now

That will look good, too man.


I painted my rear spoiler and the bezels on my old yellow '95. It looked really good. And when I get my S281 for this car .... it will be black as well.

i appreciate all the compliments guys. im just still adjusting to the change. i went from silver cobra rs to these.

im not sure im totally happy with the front tire size i chose. i originally ordered 255/40s and when i got them in and looked at them, they look rubber-bandy to me. so i ordered the 255/45s and they almost seem tallish?

i am going to do the steeda x2 balljoints and leave the spacers out to drop the car 1/2" in the front. i think that will help and give it that stance i am after.


note: if you are thinking about getting the sumitomo htr z tires like i have now, they are a good tire but bear in mind, the 255/40s and the 255/45s have a wheel protector. the 275s do not...so the wheel actually "sticks out" from the tire about a 1/4 of a inch. almost looks like the bead isnt where it needs to be but its just the way the tire is made. i think it looks gay on my car and kinda ruins the back of it. hopefully not many people will notice. had i known this before hand, i might have went with a different tire

great minds think alike?

 

[Blackened302]

looks good. i agree w/ justin's suggestions, especially the one about spacers.

 

[hotrodnut]

Man, that looks great fiveoho!! I think you made the right choice.

 

[BlackVert]

red and black theme ...

you wasted no time updating your avatar, huh?

 

[fiveoho]

i agree with the wheel spacer suggestion. i had already had that in mind before i ordered the wheels. im just iffy about them on the safety side of it

 

[fiveoho]

Man, that looks great fiveoho!! I think you made the right choice.

thanks man! i bugged you enough about what tire size to run on the fronts. as you can see, i went with the 255/45 and i think i like it. the 255/40s would have made the fenderwell look gappy i think?

My twin! I love the black and red theme. I've got a set of taillights that I painted black sitting in the garage. Have yet to throw them on the car, but I'll post pics when I do.

Don't sweat it, I'm not the first to do this, and you won't be the last. Besides, I have a stripe, a cobra hood, and with the Drag Launch springs... the blessed 4x4 look. Not to mention mine is Vibrant Red too. Also, I'll be losing my tail pipes soon. Going with turn downs when I get back to a muffler shop.

I hope to put the taillights in this w/e when I put new rear shocks on.

Post pics of the black spoiler when you do it. I would love to paint the roof of the car black, but I'll never drop that kinda money unless something bad happens to the car.
