I've been hearing that the rims are too much silver and to tie everything in better I should paint or powdercoat the rims.. The shop keeps talking me outta it so I think the next option is to see if I can score some freebies or something..

Slam it? I can't with my flares and the spacers.. I have to figure out at the moment where my safety line is at.. cracking anything will be a HUGE repair bill with the Lambo tricoat.. I have coilovers and koni's.. I drive it with the front all the way up and the back about 1/2 way down which is what the picture shows.. the front is about 3 inches off the ground and a pain.. alot of times I think the eye is tricked with my paint scheme and the dark color around the rubber making you think the car is jacked up alot.. take a look at the picture below around the wheel wells.. I didn't adjust anything.. the car is low as crap in person.. any lower and I'll crack each flare. BTW -- my car is IN FRONT of this black car..

not sure who's cat you saw was it all orange? it's pretty hard to miss mine because of the 2-tone scheme and the orange is super bright.. it's totally void of any brown or copper which most people opt for.. I know there is a copperish Coug with black wheels in the STL area that drives down to IL occasionally and was at HIN/Chicago this last week.

The car is currently at "The Speed Shop" 5119 Torque Drive - Loves Park, Il 61111 -- its easy to find because its the road right after the Racetrack.. The guys there rock!

Your comments probably have me either checking in or drivin out there tonight to check progress though... HAHHA - that better not have been my car on a flatbed.

car looks better in that pic. i thought it was shadows playing with my eyes but wasnt sure. and a sidenote, the truck that is infront of you with its door open, nooooooo, havent seen that one anywhere! *ends sarcasm about truck* again, hope to see you at ITB and good luck with the glassing, my Integra is under the same knife.
