its so dumped i love it!!!

CMJ626 · 10-12-08, 9:00

That looks a ton better, are you going to paint it or is that the desired colour? I do prefer it two-tone like that.

**jmoore** · 10-12-08, 9:17

well atm im going to leave it that colour , though it might eventually end up white

**Fitzyb** · 10-12-08, 13:16

bah, 2 tone ftw, if you want it white have my lipkit and spray that, most is already primered

**DarkSlayer** · 10-12-08, 20:01

i reckon it looks better like it is
dont paint it

**dmwill** · 10-12-08, 20:52

Yeah, there is a black strip of rubber/plastic between the bottom of the doors and the lip kit about 30mm thick. It would stand out and look awful if the lip was white.

**Fitzyb** · 10-12-08, 23:36

paint the black strip white

**dmwill** · 10-12-08, 23:44

Sif...

It's mostly rubber, which is possible to paint, but would not be resistant to scratches etc seeing that it is open to the elements.

I spotted a new Volvo XC70 today, It's not too bad - decent ride height seeing it is marketed as an offroader, the previous model was useless.

**RdS** · 10-13-08, 1:20

yeh.. neg.. dont paint rubber.
it always looks sooo pisspoor when it starts to flake off.

couldnt leave the rubber off? trim it? :/

on another chip-in-random note; i bought another set of wheels today. i have ALOT now. :|
but meh.. they're rare and awesome... and im a Speed-Star fanboy.

anyway, they're SSR hasemi Sport S5's, 16X7 and 16X8.. decent offsets
need a few repairs.. but shall be sweet.

**dmwill** · 10-13-08, 3:48

Sooo...how many sets do you have now?

I lost count at about 4.

**RdS** · 10-13-08, 3:55

just a couple.. :$
the MR2 has its 5 teardrops, 2 SSR's, 4 Delta's, 4 Eunos rims, 4 watanabe's, and 4 fortec's...
the GTS has its 4 GTS rims, 4 widened 15X7 gts', and 6 steelies..
the R31 has the 4 Rays, 9 steelies, and now the 4 SSR's!

most of those are stacked up in my garage. s'quite a sight.

**DarkSlayer** · 10-13-08, 5:01

ur a shocker :P
some ppl collect stamps, others collect beer coasters. u collect car rims

**RdS** · 10-13-08, 5:16

im gonna cull the crap rims, and start collecting nicer ones.

guess that happens with ALL collections though.

on that topic? anyone 'collect' things? i LOVE magazines/articles/brochures/etc for my cars.... aswell as a cabinet full of 1:18 model cars i have...

**NiN^_^NiN** · 10-13-08, 7:23

**dmwill** · 10-13-08, 8:53
