Aed parts and SSC (sears special lol) 18" rims i got from Ebay, not sure on tire size. i was a rookie then lol.

AEd kit and stock steelies when before my new 18s lol. $100 steelies from a junkyard:

current condition with 17"x7" Exel gumnetal rims with 245/45/17 Hankook Ventus tires. not wide enough, so i am selling them:

to bad you had to sell the AED kit but the car still looks good with the stock body. I love the color to. Cant wait to see how she starts to come together in November. Do you know what or if your putting any body kits on it?

love your car very sweat ... where did you find that spoiler...

spoiler was form Aedcentral.com. dont order anything new from there though. find used, its rare but its cheaper and less wait. they took 2 months on the tails and wing.

anyway, here are my plans for it later on down the road:

-Aed front bumper (maybe rear)
-Rksport sides and rear (maybe RK wing too)
-smoked LED tails
-black headlights (or maybe painted projectors)
-20" rims to acomodate bodykit
-shaved handles
-two tone leather seats
-cherry red and black two tone paint

these are rough ideas, but im not gonna build it for serious show, just a crazy custom car to cruise around and at shows. there are so many nutty things out there in the radical show scene which i cant compete with, or will take me $20K-$50K in upgrades to do lol.

I agree with peyman - sweet ride anyways :)

but when i do it up crazy again, i do wanna go with chrome/color matched wheels, or black and satin wheels. there are many out there that will transform the ride. i just think with a aed kit you have to really be careful getting 18s, they have to be wide enough cause the kit makes the car look bigger.

You gotta keep the stock color in that two tone somewhere, maybe the dividing line, I love that color. BTW, your tails are still doin fine and are one of two non-chrome aftermarket tails in my school.

Those chrome 20s looked the best. Sad to see you are ditching your new wheels, because they are the 2nd best.

i think you should go sc/t instead of aed and rksport. but hell man either way it'll look sweet

im not a big fan of the SCT front lip, it looks good on mnost cars on this site, but not my personal taste. but yeah, i like the color, and probably gonne stay with it. maybe just add black or something.

glad my tails are doin fine, i have the GT tails now.

oh and i will post pics soon, cause i have my new Eagle 077 17s mounted today, i will upload pics soon!!

Man that's a lot of changes. I like the second to last wheels the best.

Alex goes thru wheels like oil changes lol. Gotta keep those Eagles though, they're hard as hell to find.

03graystone
03-03-2008, 05:44 PM
oh yeah im keepin the Eagles for sure, im more than happy with them. they are 17s, and look like 18s. the MOST i like is how wide they stick out. perfect for me. i just need some springs, and body damage fixed then i will be golden. oh i also need a stock or SCT wing to fill the holes on my trunk.

then next year, i might transform again into a showcar. even THEN im keeping the Eagles lol
