Looks very nice. Well done. Where did you get the rear window spoiler?

Where did you get the rear window "wing". Thats pretty sick. She looks great.

 

[oldman_tau]

I got it from my buddy whose hiding it for decades bnew..

 

[vtecds1]

Lookin' good!!! More info on the size of the rims and tires please...

 

[cheekychimp]

Definitely looking good, hoping to get my rear window spoiler on soon.

 

[gramkrakr89]

Definitely adds a new dimension to the rear profile... not sure if I like it though... probably just me.

great find, though - and well done

 

[omertaitalia]

I f***ing LOVE those rims - they suit it really well and make a difference from crappy knock off rims.

Really don't want to throw out any criticism here, but are you saying you have 7" rims at the front and 7.5" rims at the back?

 

[fuel]

why not?

nice rear visor.... where can i get it??? and how much

 

[marvinmadman]

Quoting fuel:
why not?



Because of the circumference of the different size tires...

Unless you "stretched" them over the wider wheels.

 

[fuel]

why did you make the assumption it's running different sized tyres front to rear? 0.5" is not enough to make a difference, let alone warrant needing to go for a wider sized tyre that is mounted on the front.

 

[marvinmadman]

Didn't assume anything. Just answering his question. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif I know I wouldn't want any extra difference in my tires when it comes to my drivetrain. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

First of all well done...

next thing is i think people want to know where exactly you can get the rear spoiler..cuz i know i want one..lol let us know where to get it...

Rims are perfect fit and size...

 

[fuel]

there is no difference in tyres (I hope). The difference is the rim width and perhaps offset front to rear. It may potentially affect handling (not likely) but as far as the drivetrain is concerned it will not be an issue at all.. provided the tyre sizes are the same front to rear (which we don't really have a good reason to think otherwise).
