    Nothing wrong with different styles. If we all had the same style, the car scene would be so boring.

    Well, I didn't want to raise her, so she's back on stockies. ); Only temporarily until I buy a new tranny/oil pan, and whenever I get a skid plate welded up. IDK why but I keep thinking my side skirts are backwards, does it look normal to you guys? Thank you Cbass for taking your time by going to the junkyard and picking them up for me!

    Looking good, can't wait to see them on!

    Haha thanks man, and you should post it anyways, fuck it!

    ^^^ I know that feel lol, but pics have to do it for me.

    I don't like side skirts with "humps", they just never looked right.

    Nice pics everyone!

    Quick question guys, what should the tire pressure be at? This is the first time I got a different wheel and tire size so I don't know. The tire is 205/50R/16 Falken Ziex 512. Thanks

    I usually do my low profiles at 45. More pressure = stiffer but bumpier.... less pressure = more comfortable.

    DO NOT RUN THE TIRE AT MAX PSI.

    35 psi will do you fine on that tire.

    While this is true, more pressure = less grip (and more fuel economy!), less pressure = more grip.

    So I finally got around to installing my black dash today. Took me a total of four hours, I will never do this again. I still have to fix a few things like my passenger air bag. Overall I'm happy with my interior for now.

    looks great. I think it'll look even better if you wrap the center console in a carbon fiber vinyl.

    Btw I lowered the rear tire pressure from 35psi to 33.5 cause the rear felt a tad bit loose under hard cornering.
