Is there something wrong with keeping the license plate in the middle? Never understood the movement.

Personally, i think it takes away from the look of the car a lot..in ct we are required to have a front plate..but I havent used one in over a year now. I've learned that (atleast in my town) if you dont drive like an idiot the cops wont bother you.

Was wondering about peoples opinions..I painted the rear chrome strip black this past spring, but now im not sure if I want to use a silver vinyl instead. Some people say the black flows because I still have the black door handles/ mirror cards. What are peoples thoughts?
(btw, I will be painting the lower section of the bumper black in the spring) |

I say try silver vinyl or just get it painted in body color. The black looks better than the chrome imo but not as good as it can

Thanks for the advice guys. One of the reasons why I can't decide is because I'm not sure if the rear diffuser painted black will give it enough of an aggressive look if I used the silver vinyl. I guess I could always buy the vinyl and try it out for a week or so and if i don't like it, I can always just remove it Another option is tinting my tails and using the silver vinyl..ahh so many options! |

I say paint it black or carbon fiber vinyl. If you really want to try something different try brushed aluminum/matte silver vinyl on the trim and diffuser (similar to the outback sport having a silver diffuser).
Edit: I did black on the diffuser and it looks WAY more aggressive on my white sedan. |

^ the only carbon fiber i plan on putting on my car is a silver carbon fiber on all the silver pieces in the interior..and even that is still questionable.
The black on the diffuser is def happening this spring either way |

Brother got it for $40, im trying to find a carbon fiber hood scoop delete, not one of those vent ones. If anyone knows where i can get one that would be awesome. I think it looks pretty good though

Ive never heard/seen them before. They got some pretty good designs though, their website is under construction with their "about us" page, so Im assuming that they just started making wheels? I could be wrong though hah

Tenzo has been around for a while. They just make cheesy wheels that ricers buy.

All cast wheels on the market are in general, the same. The main differences are quality in finish (which is easily replaceable) and the creativity of the wheel design (which I hope you buy a design you like). I don't have any experience with them but they should be just fine for your car. I wouldn't track the wheels or put them on a 300+whp car but daily driving should be alright.
EDIT: After checking their site the only wheels I like are the Concept 9 which I'd still prefer a Rota DPT over it and the Type M is nice but I'd save for some Linea Corse wheels. Last edited by Digital Dillon; 11-24-2011 at 07:33 PM. |

I wouldn't want to chance having a 'sub-par' wheel companies product on a track ready machine.
Also read my edit above! |
