RenMike's Ride: Updated w/pics (56K be warned)

[renmike]

Well, I finally got the rear struts installed yesterday along with the new (to me) strut tower brace and Whiteline rear sway bar (thanks Camryelaine). These are not all I've done/installed since I've had the car up and running for some time now. I've also got a set of JDM headlights and corner lights (thanks trdkamuri99) and recently installed some depo clear turn signals. Thursday I picked up my new rims as well. They're only 16's, but around here, many of the roads are so f'ed up i didn't see the need for lowering it so I just stuck with what I could afford. I also got around to detailing the car yesterday afternoon. Here are a few pics of what it looks like now:














And here's where I put my foglamp switch. I had them on, but you couldn't tell. When it gets a little darker, I'll go backoutside and take a few night shots.


And here's a pic of one of the fogs before the batteries in my digi camera died:

Looks sweet, those rims really go with the car.

looks nice. we have the same corner lights here in Aus. i like those clear turn signals though, not many people have them here. i'll be getting a set soon.

[360glitch]

Not bad. Question: Are those rims American Racing?

[midnightmach]

Sweet headlights , your car looks great.

[renmike]

360Glitch: Yeah. Another TN'er has the same ones (Bigbird). I didn't realize it until after I ordered mine.

Well, if I went with 17's, I would have dropped it. I just know how much roadwork that's always going on as well as how crappy the roads in general are around here.

what tyre size did you use?

I had told the guy I wanted 205-55 16, but he for some reason ordered 205-60 16. It sits just a little higher than I wanted, and the 205-60 is about an inch taller than the stock 14's that I had originally.

You make it sound like I got them off the back of a van...

But you are right, with what I saved getting these I can afford a 5th one for use as a spare

im almost tempted to get the same wheels in 17. and for $119 a rim i think thats a pretty good price.

I was looking at some knock-off gunmetal rims that were 17's for 110 each before I got these. That's not a bad price.
