Oh, trust me, the amount of information i've been bombarded with is ridiculous. But I love every bit of it. It's nice to know that i'm a little bit different than almost every other car. I mean heck, isn't the point of visual mods to make yourself stand apart?

yeah your car pulls it off without a beat and love the way it looks on white. yes a blue 8 can pull it off but at the same time it doesnt look right.

i couldnt have said it better myself myx8u I do want to stand out.

another reason i dont want gold is i want to paint my brake calipers gold or bronze and make my rotors stand out even more

i was also thinking painting the face black and the inside blue....

I dont like the multi colored ones. I have seen two piece after market that are different colors, but the stock doesnt have enough defined separation between the rim and spokes to make it work.

I might have to try it. My girl loves it and this is the only thing I have like for stock rims.

Need a good drive... scared to push my transmission too hard though. No grinding for a few days but I haven't been doing any real high RPM shifting. 5-6K seems safe though!

a drive sounds good. The only time I have been driving with another car was right after I got mine. It was a FD and wow what a drive! You should send me your # over facebook so we can arrange a drive. What part of town do you live on? I am baymeadows/southside

Thats what it is!
I live around baymedows and southside, so I have two very fun interchanges nearby. Jtb and Southside is good for mid speed 60 ish, but then there is the south 95/9A/295 interchange. Definitely some high speed turns with severe rhythm changes. I do that one alot. get onto 95 from southside, then take the 9A flyover. stay to the right and get off on Phillips. this is a high speed down ramp. get onto Philips stay to the right and right back up onto 9A. If you push hard enough on this ramp you will go sideways, and there is room for it. It does have a narrow exit though. Back on 9A, take 95N. stay to the right, get off on Phillips. This ramp is on a grade to the right, but lots of fun. Stay to the right and back onto 95. the ramp back on is the tightest (and best).
wash rinse repeat!
I do this very often, always feel much better after.

yup, right next door. Royal Oaks off of Belle Rive. Your gray right? Mine is white w/gold rims, stock body. Don't mistake me for another white in the area; that one is an auto and has the appearance package stuff (spoiler, mud flaps, blah blah)
