We know what he meant.. the filters are there for a reason and trying to get around them is against the rules. Please check those out.

Thanks guys....I appreciate the comments. I think I'll take off all the gfx next and paint it. I'm a long way from finishing this race car project but I spent so much time with the engine that I thought it was time to spruce up the outside a little. I know the rims aren't the most popular or most expensive around but I put about 2 years worth of thought into what I think would look best on my car for my tastes and the AR II's won out.

I like that pic omnipotent one...I saved it to a file. Maybe I'll have it made into a window decal for the car.

I just swapped out my AR2s for stock IROC rims. Nothing beats the 5 spokes.

Looks damn good though.

not really my thing, but as long as you're happy with them, that's all that matters...

i say sport em proud! i do and i havent had any negative comments except for on here. but then again that seems to be what the site is about somedays. i guess if you get 300 people on a site there is bound to be 4 or 5 that are having a bad day and wanna pass it on.
