Default New mods and some gratitude

After a LONG several weeks and a lot of bull$hit, I have gotten my wheels put on, exhaust installed, all the vinyl overlays done, and several other mods - I wanted to show her off a little Sorry I can not figure out how to make the pics fullsize.

Special thanks to Max, J-fire, crossfirefrank, and several others for the help.

What to do next????

Black and Chrome!

That looks very sharp.

It's hard to improve on excellence. In you case I would have to say

YOU DID IT!

Nicely done.

BTW, those wheels are the best I've seen on a Crossfire. Do they help overcome the black color's tendancy to be slower?

Thank you all very much for the kind words... not too bad for having it under 2 months LOL

Franc, yes, they have a flux capacitor built into each wheel to allow the slower black color to adequately accelerate hahaha.

I would install lowering springs, that'll give the car more aggressive look and go well with the other mods. Nice job!

Very cool. Black out your grill next. I'm thinking about new wheels this summer. Not sure how chrome wheels would look with the brushed aluminum looking trim but those are great with your ride.

Looks good!

Quick question. How did you tint the directionals?

Tinting the directionals was pretty easy. I used a hgh end outdoor vinyl with the correct properties and cut it slightly larger than the lense. I then sprayed the lense and vinyl with an alcohol/water mix, applied the vinyl, and used a plastic squeege (sp?) to get all the large bubbles out (some small ones remain but will eventually dry up and close). then tuck the film in between the car and lense (nice tight fit) and viola! This was a desperation move when I could not locate clears, but I think I perfer this look on my car (and a hell of a lot cheaper than clears).

They are one of Giovanna's lines called Gianelle and the exact model is the Cairo (20x8's up front and 20x10's out back).

I am trying to find them but do they do these in 19s if I wanted to do a staggered fitment?

Do you have any rub issues with the 20's up front?
