Cleanest to me would be appearance, tasetfully modded would be performance mods with actual gains.

We've tried ROTM... it didn't really work. It would be the 3 of use in a rotation lol

Shopping for winter tires FTL... I can get a Pirelli tire/wheel combo from TR for $669 shipped... maybe... maybe not... maybe when I get back from FL...

Added tastefully modded, although I only have like 2 nominees(if you will) because there arent too many people on here with legit power adders/suspension mods.

not bad, not sure about the color on your car though. I have fallen in love with bronze rims as of late.

Jesus. It costs me about $38 to do an oil change and that's still pricey. Better than the crap they put in your engine for $20 at Jiffy Lube though :-/

Yeah, I can get these for $160 a pop and have the auto body boys down at the tech school paint them gold for the price of paint (like your fiji)

I'm definitely going with silver on black because it's sexy.

Well, I'm assuming I can. My grandpa is a volunteer autobody instructor at the tech school... i don't see why I couldnt, its good practice for them. And maybe I could make a few friends in the process.



Imagine those on a black car... even though I cant afford Racing Hart C2 or whatever they are.
