OK.. here is my delimma. Im going back to school, and have other projects for my stang to do a 5 lug swap right now (detail engine a bit - do a porno red to black interior swap) SO for the rims, i have ponys on there now, i actually have 2 spare so i have 6 pony rims.. do i keep the "clean" look i have going now and keep the rims just add some 275 drag radials? or do i upgrade to 93 cobra rims?? here is the car normally, and with some MT slicks on turbines:

I love how AliateX's car looks like with the pony's and the fatty radials he has on there. I think yours would look good that way as well. Or you could find some 4 lug ROH's

i was thinking of those as well - since i just bought the "notch" shirt which looks just like my car, just the shirt has ROH's.. IF i do that tho ill stay 4l, and i dont think there is much of a brake upgrade for that????

Im trying to find the pics of his car, but i cant find the damn things. Wait, did Aliate X change his avatar back or am i losing my mind? I think that was his car.....
 
I love your car, bro. I think the ponies look great on it, but if youre looking for a change, I'd say leave the ponies on it, polish the lip and charcoal/black out the centre. Similar to...uhh....forget the name, the other canadian up here from Winnipeg with the Red Turbo GT?...anyways...looks slick!
 
Id say this...

Keep the ponys. Paint them silver with a nice clear coat, get some nice wide DRs out back, and some wheel spacers. Would look aggressive and clean!

i was definatly thinking the wide DR's but im a little sketchy on the spacers - i just remember joe breaking his studs off haha. Although i dont have that kinda power i still worry - also im going to be lowering it, i have some ebiach lowering springs to put on that are sitting in the garage. yes i would do a fresh coat of silver w/ clear so they look brand new!

i was thinking about that too - since i have 2 spare pony rims in the back i was going to "expirment" with paint - either the polished lip look, all black, or gunmetal. but IMO i think that the rims are too small to do the polished look to the lip what do u think? ps. thanks for the compliments! your car is pretty bad @$$ as well!! :nice:




i want it to still look "clean".. I love how 04sleeper's car is just so clean looking with mostly stock exterior yet i drool over it. i want my car to have as close to that effect as possible. just clean, nice, crusing machine if that makes any sence :scratch:
 
nah. I cant think of the name at all, but hes got a Red GT with a single turbo, the charcoal/polished ponies, he lives in canada (winnipeg), and I think he has a Ford Ranger for a daily or something of the sort. Dman is a couple provinces over. :nice:

yeah i know who your talking about...but i dont know his user name.. :scratch:
