Razzi body kits?

Anybody heard of them, how they hold up to weather changes????

You think I should even part with the money for this kit, I think it looks pretty nice?





My car is the identical one shown, but mine has tinted windows and different rims, but same color.

The problem I have run into with low-pro tires on the Aurora is, every single tire place here told me not to put them on my car because they will severely throw off the speedo...I am looking in to some 18" rims for the car and low-pro's if they don't throw off my speedo too much.

Who needs a speed-o? I had to learn to drive without mine becasue I have bigger tires than what my truck came with. I do 70 down the interstate and my speedo is somewhere round 60.

If you do what's known as "plus sizing" where you "step up" the wheel and tire size by +1, +2 or +3 increments with little or no impact on revolutions with regard to the speedometer, sort of what BlackRegal has explained. If you go to www.tirerack.com they may have your car in their applet that allows you to see different size and types of wheels on a given vehicle. They also have good info on plus sizing.

You can also reprogram your computer to adjust for the increased tire size.

This might help you out.
It calculates what size sidewall you need when you plus size so your spedo stays accurate.

I couldn't but maybe it was me.
