GSRstilez's New Kicks! Ro_Ja baby ;)

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I am very happy I purchased these.



They feel much more attached to the road and the car really rips through corners better. The tires are a little loud but I guess that's do to the tread design.



The bumper/kit thats on now is completely different from my winter setup. I bought a front and rear bumper extra when I had the car repainted. Yes, the black wheels are full time winter wheels and I shipped out the red wheels to the new owner yesterday. I used to have red/smoked tails but they were painted/dyed and didnt hold up well.



DetailGirl: You are entitled to your opinion, but when I purchased I found the least ricey exhaust made. Just for the axle back, it cost $500. The note is deep and throaty, not raspy and the tip is only .5" larger than OEM. The tube style design denotes NO chambers, just a straight flow design. I know its not everyones taste, just clearing things up.
 
Buckley is ready to roll! lol



I set the first photo as my desktop wallpaper. As for the muffler, that's the least "ricey" aftermarket exhaust I've seen for an import. It reminds me of an A'Pexi system I've seen in a magazine.

Word! Rice is about the last thing I thought when I saw the can for the first time. Very nice looking.



Rims are 'da bomb' to say the least!

Was this a joke? The thing looks stock!

Thats what I was thinking.



I'm glad you got the rims you wanted Sean, I must agree with everyone and say they look great :) . I think they give your car a stylish and classy look whereas the red rims were very bright and loud. Hope they hold up good, Northern NJ roads have really gotten bad. I think my mom's car needs an alignment, theres no avoiding some of these potholes and bumps.
 
:cool: Not only do they look good and are most likely quite light (less rotating mass to accelerate, always a good thing!) but they should be easy to keep clean!

Man, am I excited :D.





Yes, the red rims are gone. They were far too weak for North East roads. I needed something fully forged that still fit the look I was going for. I also have never had silver rims on my car (black, gmetal, gmetal with pol lip, red) so I decided these will be the ones...17x7" Ro_Ja Formula 7's BTW. They are wearing AIO/PB Wheel Sealant.



I am absolutely floored with how they look. They fit what I was looking for to a "T". Well, tell me what you think [:)]

That's my dog Buckley keeping guard of the Teg while I take pics ;).



Enjoy!



Does he leave "nose prints" in the windows and dog hair on the seats?



My two dogs love going for rides!
 
Thanks everyone. You are all very kind...I deeply appreciate everything said.





I'm not sure what to do with the calipers. I will polish them at the end of this week in preparation for the car show on Sunday. If anything, they will go to black.



The rims are SOOO much lighter than my 18s. My back didnt brake when I lifted them up :D.





More pics next weekend after the car show :).





Oh yeah, Buckley loves the car. He sits right down when driving but when we park he is attentive and curious. Hes barely big enough to get his head out the window, so no nose marks yet :).
 
I personally think either paint the calipers the same color as you car or keep them the color they are. Just my opinion. Either way, the car is going to look awesome.
