    Default Wheels Installed!

    Finally got around to getting my wheels installed. Took pictures before dropping the car off to get windows tinted.

    That front pass-side marker light assembly is like $20 at the dealer.

    The wheels look great, what brand and where did you find them?

    Found them on ebay... they ride great! More comfortable ride than with the stock wheels/tires!

    I personally like the clean look (no pinstripes). Remember though, it's what YOU like.

    The pinstripes aren't bad looking, but they belong only on an Alpina.

    Default Pinstripes

    I like them. They accentuate the shoulder-line of the car. Not to mention it makes you just a little more unique.

    If I'm not mistaken they're RPM R-505. As for the pinstripe, I agree with Mendozart. It's your car, do what you want. **** I almost painted my car a couple shades off Kawasaki green. Big difference from a pinstripe, but still...


    Oh and those ebay clears. They absolutely suck, don't get them. They don't quite fit, and the clips that hold them in place break off. I've been through three sets of them before I said screw it and ordered some euro-trim.
