more problems that anticipated

alright guys...here's the update on my wheel upgrade....i have 17x9 chrome ZR1's on front, and 16x8 stockers in back....this is b/c the spacers i got for the back have a fine threaded bolt and my lug nuts won't fit on them, so i gotta make an autozone run tomorrow to get a set of fine threaded lugs....oh wait....i CANT do that, b/c my radiator decided to melt a hole in itself tonight when i was testing to see if my front wheels rub when i turn!!!! so hopefully i can get ahold of my parents car and go to autozone and get a new radiator AND new lugs...and as soon as i do....i swear on my life pictures will be ON THE BOARD!

and by the way, if i cover up the back half of my car with my hand, the rest looks pretty sweet with the new wheels haha

He covered up the back half of his car with his hand because he wanted to get a feel for the new look and the stock wheels in the back throw it off.



Good luck and I bet she looks great.

They look right at home on your car.

Now I'd address some of the smaller details. Maybe replace the parking lights, possibly some clear side markers, and take off that front plate.

i think i'm gonna not mess with the parking lights, just leave them the way they are for a while. but i think i'm gonna get a set of clear side markers from ebay this coming week, and i can't take off the front plate b/c in missouri you get a ticket for not having it in the correct place. i got a ticket from that this summer and i dont think that having a "cool looking grill" is worth a $40 ticket every time a cop is in a pissy mood...
