Hey guys, ongoing from my wheel colour selection post I have finally taken some pics of ze ride.

Funny thing is that I've had about 50% of people saying they like the new wheels and the others saying they preferred the chrome bling wheels, hah!

I kinda think they look HOT.

Specially with the 265/45 michelins on the back.

I cant realy see anything else that I want to do with the car exterior wise.

Its either engine or interior time now, lol, possibly black interior conversion?

Foglights would be nice, but I havent seen them in black yet, just original, im not too fussed either way.

Yea ^ 50/50 haha. Red will stay till I want white wheels :-)

And the rear isnt usually that high, its like that so I can gear into and out of work/home. I have some mad ditches and ramps to get over.

Open them up and spray the inside black, or maybe get them tinted?

the later model grille should fit in that space between the headlights. would make it lok alot more complete/finished and clean with little things like that.
with the foglights you would either have to tint the outside or as matt said open them up and paint the chrome part

I'm assuming your wheels are 17s?

I'd go for bigger wheels (18s) and a drop. I'm digging the red though :-)

Looking good.

In addition to the above I'd say add 97 or 94 style rear lights and black number plates (will blend in the car).

have a look at my tail lights in the Kiwi Corner section of this site under thread "tail lights what do you think ?" they would look mint on your car and its an easy conversion too ! would match your wheels as well your car looks nice only changes I would make would be mesh in the front bar and grill and drop the back end down a bit ( I know you can't ) that's why I love my air bags great for drive ways and speed humps so you don't loose your body kit but can still have that slammed look on good roads

People seem to like the wheel more and more as they get used to them

Jose the wheels are 18s, running big rubber on the back, also for some strange reason when I leave the Soarer for a few hours, the front dips, and pushes the rear up? Strange hu.

I know that the front is ment to dip, but the rear being pushed up?

I'll try and take some pics in better light, currently she's a dirty bitch as I havent washed it in a couple months.

I Would love to meet up with a few of the Melb boys soon for a chat.

__

Next plans are Meshing the front bumper (Black Mesh, though went to Bunnings and they didnt have any?)

Get rid of that annoying 1uz tap tap tap. Might see if Peter can still do it.

Headers + Exhaust and see about replacing a few engine components that are showing signs of wear.

But other then that, she's going damn well !!

Ohh and Min, you can see my other thread for all the different option I had :-)

Dan: I actually saw that on Youtube, and I LOVED it, the only problem is im not sure of the legalities of that in Victoria, anyone know? as it would go straight on my to-do list.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. Its too fire-engine red for the dark car. Your wheels look like the focal point of the car.

But i have a personal gripe specifically against people who want people to look at their wheels. Not the car! What's with that? Your rims should sit in alignment with your car so as not to attract your eye, nor be invisible to it. That way the whole car is looked at.

I think they should just be a darker shade of red. Personally. OR black. I mean, if you turned your lights off at night if you saw sirens the cops would just lose you :-)

I think it looks awesome. Good to see something other than Chrome.

Ive always wanted to paint the spokes of my wheels black, but never got around to it. With all the brake dust its almost black now anyway..
