those rims look wide from the front view bc their is no gfx , well their is but not the gfx that those wheels were meant tp be around. I like it. The only thing i dont like , which if you fixed i think it might make it look better. If you go rid of the louvers on the front and put the solid pieces in there and painted them red or black .

I do need to paint the grills black though, to give the front a fresh look.

Here's a better overall picture, that also shows the wheels/tires, to a greater advantage, along with the grills.

Thanks for all the great comments guys, for such a long time, I have always wanted a newer 3rd Gen, but have really grown to love the early birds, because they are becoming harder to find, and they have a look all there own.

Here's a picture of the car, during the paint job in my garage.
At this point, I have already sprayed the lower black two-tone, and I'm about ready to finish the red.http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...66_49_full.jpg
