cool deal! I have a couple 3rd gen buddies, but we're all broke, haha. We can't afford the cool things.

Those wheels look simple, yet killer. A little TLC goes a long way huh?

They look great and they are really light too. I'll be honest though, I'm kind of supprised people are getting excited about a redone set of stock 15x7 RS wheels. If I had known there was a demand for redone RS wheels I wouldn't have used them to tow away all the parts cars. How much did you pay?

dang dood! i can see the reflection of my hood in the first pic! i really think those did an excellent job of making the car look way slower than it is, but just enough class to make it look like you REALLY take care of the car...i think we nailed it spot on bro!

i have always liked the bra's i guess it is dating my taste.they dont hurt the front end if you buy a quality one and take of the wax job. i grew up in the late 70's early 80's. but yes it does add to the sleeper look. well till i get the cam installed
