New NTO3s

Just got some new NT03s a couple days ago so I figured I post a couple pics. Specs are 18x9.5 +27 with 235/40 all around. I know I know, it needs to be lowered and I do have new powertrix coils that should be going on this week if I ever stop working 12s. I also red outed my tails with vht too and got slotted brakes, need to do something with my calipers. Tell me whatcha think.

And last but not least my tails. The vht red out stuff works really good, I'd recommend it if you wanna do yours.

Those tails are hideous, wheels will be nice with a drop.

Thanks guys. I didn't really wanna keep the stock color so I decided to paint them this. Like it or hate it. I like em ha.

Top gear- they must look like that cuz there was a lot of sun in that pic. Their darker in person

Is there any particular reason why your tow hook isn't stowed away in your trunk?

You're catching a lot of flack for painting those Enkeis. They look nice enough; did you have them done professionally so that they hold up? Good color choice.

I'm usually not a "it needs a drop" kind of guy, but if you're in an area where you can get away with it, it would definitely help your look. It kind of looks like you've undersized your tires a bit? (too short)

I *would* ditch the tow hook...

Haha I know right!!! Ohh well it's my car and I like it so i can give two craps. Yea I got them painted. Depending how they hold up I might powdercoat them next year. I'm likein black chrome so I might go that route. The tires are 235/40 soo its an up size from stock and the smallest i could go with a 9.5 rim. their a lil steched but that what my plans were. I plan on drifting with it just need to wait for my 2way, should be here next week. And yea the cars gunna be on powertrix coil overs with in the weekend. And the tow hooks off... Ha

Boostdtalon-the fitment with this setup is really good. I rolled my fenders and should be lowered soon. Ill let ya know how it comes out

Definitely needs a drop to pull the wheels off. I'd add clear corners as well.
