Title: Aero-licious!
Post by: yank on September 19, 2004, 03:12:40 PM
Hi all,

Just had some body mods carried out on my car and had a few peeps ask me to post some fresh pics so here they are...kinda wanted to show her off too! She wears the 2002 RE Amemiya AD front bumper with the 99+ spec indicator lights and the RE AD side skirts, PanSpeed carbon fiber bonnet and pins, Ganador carbon fiber mirrors, Rotora carbon fiber spoiler (i like carbon!) and i\'ve had the aerial and rear wiper/wiper jet removed. The wheels are the old Super Advans which came on my old RX. She may not be to everyones taste, but i\'m well happy! Next it\'s time to get the wallet out again and make her go faster, Yeeha!!

I think the car looks sweet. But, the wheels don\'t look right (IMO) a set of Gold 18\'s would look real good.

None the less it a nice looking car, you\'ve had a lot done to it sonce the last pics I saw of your car.

Cheers for the replies everyone, good to see the postitive feedback...
i know what you\'re saying about the wheels though. Not my first choice by far but when i got this RX i had the choice of the standard rims or the Advans for no extra cost so i went for these, mostly due to the size increase over standard (17x8 f, 17x9 r).  But it\'s gota be engine work next and then the rims.  I\'ve kinda been putting geting new rims off too cause i want to get the next size up (18x9 f, 18x10 r) and things start gettin expensive at that size (like things haven\'t been expensive allready!!!).  I\'m thinking some of the new carbon fiber spoked rims (01 Design Systems, system one) they are selling in America...nice.

...and yeah, the poor Porker, my Rex gets all the attention!! ...but the German beast is still faster (not for long mind!).

Looks Stunning ,

I think you should just spray the inner red part of the wheel black untill you get ome new rims then will be stunning as ever motor.

Thanks mate,

that\'s a good idea.  I\'ve thought about it but it\'s a pain getting done because I\'ve had other rims refurbished before and I\'ll have to find replacement rims to role on while the Advans are being dealt with, which is a load of hassle.  A good idea though and, depending on how much the engine mods end up costing me, still well worth considering.

True , but any good bodyshop could do that in a day , drop it off in the morning and collect earlly evening/next morning and you should be fine ,

wont cost much more than 100 - 150.

Is it, that sounds very tempting mate.  I\'ll have to look into that.  Cheers.
