new rims & tires

[Kowalski]

so my car's finally coming together. still working on a few things. got the rims a while ago but finally got around to painting them just last week. they are 01(?) forester rims painted duplicolor rim paint & minimal prep. seems to be sticking nice tho. tires are some 215/60/15 kelly chargers, which look alright and do reasonably well offroad


notice the old trans in the backround... anyone want it? just needs a front diff. dont want too much for it


different angle



first time out with the new rims pre-paint... really need some more clearance. that rock front and center scraped the hell out of my floor on the way back down.


new subs in a custom maple box... made it to fit between best i could. 900w rockford amp & alpine cda 9885 head unit w/ ipod cable & infinity speakers all around. sounds CHOICE


i'm pretty happy with the car so far. still need to paint the car black, put my fogs back on (broke 2 of the mount bolts off... may just put them on the hood now?) get some forester/outback struts... (anyone want to trade for a 4eat?) and probably ghetto boost the stock block. also thinking about a tube bumper + brush guards? oh and i took the horrible streetglow off

[BXSS]

+1 I like the color too.
That color kind of reminds me of the Volk TE37 bronze color - which is NICE.

Wow, black out chrome trim with black pin stripe tape from NAPA and paint the door handles the same color as the wheels....awesome!

Oh and paint your grill trim black too. Cheers, AW

Great idea! I was planning on blacking out the chrome but the matching door handles would be awesome. Now I have a use for the extra 2 cans of paint

and clean your headlights .

and black out the insides

The more black and gold you add the meaner this gets. How about your subbox in gold?

Good luck and post again!

subbox is gonna be stained with a light color as I like the wood, its actually some fairly expensive leftover cabinet wood a freind had laying around. In gonna have to carpet the bottom atleast though, it likes to slide around and scratch itself up and makes a hell of a racket whenever I take a speed bump

Cleaning the headlights is another good idea, I've read some writeups on that, but what method should I use to black them out? Just some high gloss black on the reflector?

Also on the topic of lights, I was seeing how the fogs would look in front of the grill and I don't think it looks very good.. I'm gonna try again extracting the broken under- bumper bolts to put them back where they were or think of somewhere else to put them... I miss having them on, made the car look a hell of a lot meaner.

Uh, you need to L bracket this down b/c you run the risk of decaptitating your passengers if you don't...
