Looks good ! Maybe some nice rims, some tint IMO. Just loose that StreetGlow sticker :shrug:

i say do some tint first, than rims, take off that sticker...but yea those neons looks good

jungleheadjim 04-24-2006 10:20 AM

k. ill end up taking the sticker off.

i will be doing tint soon. i want to do a really dark tint but the most allowable in ohio is 50% on the front 2 windows and having 50% on the front 2 and like 15% would look retarded. would it be nice and dark with 50% all around?

what kind of rims would look good? i was kinda thinking some black on chrome.

if you have the money get sum volk gt-u in gold 17inch they look sooo hot on black if notthen get sum black wheels with a deep dish polished lip. and lower it like 2inches if not lower

take a pic of your front and rear tubes.a nd where/how they are mounted. i was unable to find mounting ont he front that would hide the damn thing :(

please :)

do people drive around with there streetglow on or something? when the heck do u use them?

jungleheadjim 04-24-2006 01:42 PM

ill take some pics of the tubes when i get home. we had to do some cutting to get it right. we mounted the back behind the bumper and on some metal. we had to cut the bottom of the bumper so the light can be seen. but get under your car and look behind the bumper. there is a good spot. the front was mounted to some metal right under the radiator. we also had to cut some kind of dirt blocker thingy.

i actually do drive with my neons on. its perfectly legal here in ohio. i keep a copy of the law in my glove box too, that way the cops cant give me a ticket. or i can at least fight it if they do.

im not really a fan of gold rims. they look too gaudy. i do like polished silver, gunmetal, black, or chrome rims. not sure what would look the best on my car though. but i will be gettin 17's.

RHCP0801 04-24-2006 01:49 PM

i would say get black ones but everyone is doin black on black these days but its up to you

SloCol-Vtec 04-24-2006 06:03 PM

ditch the sticker then rims and lower it

02BLKCIVIC 04-24-2006 06:12 PM

PLEASE KILL THE STICKER! & the the under glow :tdown:

Slam it! & get some good rims!

I have Ground Control on my car for suspention! As for the rims... whatever floats your boat :shrug:
