Never did i say my car looks jdm if anything the wheels are more euro and the car is jdm. a firend of mine has a new mustang with GT-C's yeah it looks a little funny but still good. yeah the cars that are posted look good just not my style (not too mention the cars are slammed in all the pictures) i am just trying to figure out what makes people like them.

not harping just asking. oh and i went with the same offsets all around so i could rotate. i had s-tech and loved it but the rear rubbed a little and i didnt want to roll the fenders so i got RBs.

i replied to your responce on the other thread!! i sometimes hate this whole JDM subject!! its a very touchy subject sometimes but its all about preference. I could respect your opinion and what you have to say!! your actually a cool volk wheel owner not like dancing with the wolves or dancing with the wind dude!! at least your not bashing on the rota owners!! Damn your buddy is running gt-c's on a mustang!! you gotta post pics i wanna see this!! as for rubbing i'm already used to it im running a 18x9 with a 15et but its not that bad of a rub.

Hey, no problem dude.. I'm just glad I can help out! Poor car though.. HAHA! It was limping Jason, you should of picked her up and took her to the vet! Any case, I need to get a need skid plate myself, mine is also fucked up. But, not from hitting the cat, but from the accident that I had. What lip you getting, the Burn Out?

Just the lip? Not the whole appearance package? I was thinking about doing the same thing, but with the whole appearance package or I might just slap on an AutoExe body kit.

Hey J, I was looking at the front of our cars in pics with out the AP and you might need that black plastic lip that gos from left to right.
I just have the under/splash gard that bolts up to that black plastic lip thats messed up on your 8. When I got to Mikes house I'll bring that big *** splash gard so you can take a look at it and see what I'm talking about and if you need it. Hell if you want I'll change it out for you well Mikes doing my car. I have taken mine off so many times on my old 8 that I can do it drunk and when its -30c. out lol

Hey Mike,

I'm thinking of ordering the xs exhaust next week. How would you say it sounds with the mid pipe in the cabin?( I F*N LOVE THE WAY YOUR EXHAUST SCARED THE **** OUT OF ME)

I found a sound clip of the OBX Exhaust it sounds good. maybe better with a mid pipe of some kind.
