Winter Goodies installed today!

Hey guys, just spent the whole day at the shop today with two of the guys who work for me. This is the outcome:

These are "Jarborn1" barely used matte black XXR 521's, that he was trying to get rid of for a while,....with a little "customizing" This is a close up of the color.
And yes I plan on doing the headlights with the same charcoal and red later this summer.




All the charcoal on the car matches the wheels.
Also put Stillen exhaust on today.




I have the car sitting kind of high in order for the spings to settle before aligning. Running Tabnabe Sustec Pro-C Coilovers and Spc F&R camber kit

Thanks dude, yah this is my daily driver so doing the headlights takes some careful planning. A stillen splitter is on my list.

Thanks man, but the rear valance area and emblem are the same charcoal as the wheels and grille. That's how I tied everything together.

Thanks bro! Yeah I know there are a lot of people who frown on the
less expensive wheels, but I traded my stockies and a little cash for these. I couldn't pass up the deal and at the same time helped out Jarborn1, who was trying to get rid of them for a while. The way I look at it is that when I had my $4000 Racing Hart wheels on my 350Z, and hit a friggin curb, they rashed just like these "cheap" wheels will..... so these will do just fine for a while until I get bored and get something else.
