Very smart, I have an extra intake but not that part.

idk i think i can actually make it work, reds a hard color to run a vibrant color rim on though. im really tempted to buy them since they're so cheap compared to most rims.

It's hard to tell from a picture. Hell they might match exactly. Do it!

Attention SARX members. Is anyone currently working on anything for the statewide meet in terms of sponsors, etc? If so, chime in so we don't step on each others toes.

Exactly. If you really like it then go for it. Quite a few people don't like my rims, but as long as you're happy about your choice then it doesn't matter a whole lot what people think. Though if no one else likes it, it can be a little disappointing lol.

I'd say the only concern would be if you want it to be a really close match. Once it's on the car, the color difference might be more apparent. As long as you don't mind that possibility, then go for it.

Are you looking for? Sound, looks, function? If its just for look get custom tips welded to the stock exhaust or go with a full custom setup like cornholio135.

Great man! Hey corn do you have pictures of your exhaust setup? I wanna copy it but I wonder how loud it will be with the midpipe.

ya i dont really care if it doesnt match the paint or if anyone likes them. I've just always wanted to run a set of concave mag blue te37's, i love that wheel. So this might be a close second color wise.

I like the Mag blue CE's better. The TE's were just so played out in my Honda days, I'm not feeling them anymore.

They are a classic though.
