Accident = New paint, lips, and wheels **PICS

HndPrelude97 · 09-30-2009, 02:12 PM

Hey guys,
So after 7 month of storing a complete oem lip kit and rims (SSR type C's, yes there beautiful

) The time finally came to install it all. About 2 months ago i was pulling into the nearby Jack in he Box when this stupid a** lady hit me. I was seriously pulling into the parking lot i saw this dumb ***** talking on her phone not paying attention, so i yielded so she can pass me by and i guess she was too busy thinking about what she could order that she hit me head on. As we get out of our cars she has the nerve to say why didnt I honk! oh well i was pretty bummed out i drove home, feeling all down on myself and than i realized... wait a minute this is the perfect opportunity for upgrading the car. Prior to the incident I had already been saving money to repaint the hood, bumper and fenders. Because she hit me head on, she paid for new hood, bumper, headlights, hence i saved a ton of cash. I was than able to use my savings to paint the lip and order tires for the rims. Ok enought talking ill show pictures

Before the accident...

After the accident..... (I know it wasnt a huge accident but still, it sucked)

After the lips and wheels ......

WashingtonBB2 · 09-30-2009, 02:56 PM

Rims look great especially with the beefy tires!

pIERCE · 09-30-2009, 02:57 PM

Beautiful car. The rims give it a real Track look....love that look so much.(it's bare bones...I'm not a flashy kind of guy)

DJ Hookid · 09-30-2009, 03:23 PM

I like the combo. The wheels go well with the color of your car.

hamadiscool87 · 09-30-2009, 03:40 PM

You car looks great man! It came back better looking after the accident

. Love the subtle yet aggressive look.

HndPrelude97 · 09-30-2009, 04:00 PM

Prudz_lude · 09-30-2009, 07:27 PM

Looks great, paint those calipars though

Kahuna9889 · 09-30-2009, 07:41 PM

Looks great man. Everything came out nicely.

98BB6er · 09-30-2009, 08:50 PM

Looks great!

Those are the exact rims that I was gonna go with except in bronze. What width and offset on the rim did you go with?

RussoLude · 09-30-2009, 09:09 PM

Looks sweet, love the new rims!

Yeah i was thinking about getting the bronze ones too but in the end i decided against it and im dang glad i choose these. i got the 16x7's +42 offset. At first i was really worried about the offset, i didn't want rubbing issues but everything worked out great. I would totally recommend them though, they were worth every penny. They were a special order item too so i was waiting for like 3 months, so keep that in mind.
