do you guys think i made the right decision regarding the color of the skirts? (it's flat black the sun had it's way)

If you're not getting a front and rear lip then I would say paint it. A full unpainted black lip kit would look sick though.

haha thanks. You're the second person to say that. I had no idea how it would turn out when I was painting it.

btw I've been looking for the TRD kit for a couple years now and no luck. You're better off getting the Tom's design since it's in stock. I'm happy with stock sideskirts for now.

dude nice rimes phal99, what are they?

\

thanks they are ALT x -factors =) got a piece for sale with damage on the lip hahahaha who would buy a rim ha3. oh well, i guess it will be a good piece of furniture in my room

what kit do you think would look better the trd lip kit or the toms? just want opinions from other people ha3 If you ask me the trd would look better but can't find one with a reasonable price tag ha3

I would say the Tom's. Supershyguy still has a few left I think.

Drop it some more!!!

btw nice job on the paint of your bumper

i can't i used to have tein S springs installed i believe it was 2 for the front and 1.7 for back it was ok when i had 14's. The fender destroyed my tires when I had 17's even when we folded the fender. I guess you can say I made the wrong decision of getting 17 x 7.5. rims but i wanted these rims so badly that i changed my springs to h and r's which gave me a drop of 1.3 for front and 1.2 for the back. DOT if you or anybody has any idea how i could drop my car more without any problems and i'm planning to put subs i'm all ears. My mechanic friend told me that i should have gotten the tenzo's which were 16 x 7. or stayed with the 15x7 rotas which he lended me for a while, but no regrets here ha3

i got shyguy's tom's kit, i like it, the trd kit is hard to find.

what's the diff between a negative and possitive offset?

if only i could barrow a trd lip kit and go home to my country. I know this place that could create a copy for a very cheap price they once copied the whole kit of a lancer evolution 5 including the over fenders ha3

The offset of a wheel is the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the true centerline of the rim. A positive offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is positioned in front of the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This in effect brings the tire in to the fender well more. Conversely, a negative offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is behind the true centerline of the rim / tire assembly. This will cause the tire to stick out away from the vehicle.



AFIAK, stock rim has a +40 offset. So try to stick with that offset so you would be rubbing you wheels if you drop it. I say maximum is +43 and minimum +38.

im gonna have to say trd lip kit all the way, theres no other kit thats so simple yet so nice keep looking and you'll get lucky, i did.

<br />
still don't get it ha3

your wheels, pretty positive offset

these wheels,

extreme negative offset

yeah i will that was my idea too thanks for the tip

nice nice nice
