I have been thinking about getting my DSII's powder coated black. And now after seeing your rims I think I will be saving some money for it to get done. Keep us posted on the future mods.

I like the idea they had of adding just a splash of chrome to the car for contrast. But congrats on the ti, they are really great cars! | | | 04-25-2009, 02:56 AM | #12 | Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Hawaii Posts: 39 | took about 3 hours ORIGINAL(3 weeks ago) HID angle eyes, smoked corners and new fogs with smoked lanin-x | | | 04-25-2009, 04:00 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Raleigh/Charlotte, NC Posts: 1,233 | watch out for those oz wheels, they are made out of a soft alloy, you can bend the **** out of them on the tiniest potholes, they are meant for race tracks, not daily driving. __________________ -Jeff | | | 04-25-2009, 04:11 AM | #14 | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 | WOW its amazing what lights and wheels do for a car, they bring it to life! Seriously looks great! Put some thicker tires on those OZs. I had 225/40 on my 18, and went through a monster pot hole . . . long story short, one pot hole+one rim= two bends in different placed. LOL! looks great though | | | 04-25-2009, 08:03 PM | #15 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Memphis, Tn Posts: 1,299 | Looking very nice! I have been wanting to get new lights for so long. but I never have the money and now the wife wants to get a doberman pincher so they cost more than the lights. LOL. I like the fogs a lot. I think I am going to go with yellow on my black ti. Are your grilles still chrome? They look black. Maybe it is just the lighting. Either way your car is looking amazing, keep up with the good work. What are your next mods? __________________ custom dual exhaust,M3 front and rear bumper, 10.4 inch roof mount drop screen, Viper alarm system, DSII's rims, M3 Vader Seats, M3 Mirrors, Carbon Fiber CAI, Smoked Corners, Side Markers, Leatherz armrests, black grilles 225k miles and still the Ti goes on | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
