Check out new pics of my car!
Hey guys....I've been wanting to post up some pics of my ride for a while and finally got around to it....I took them both before and after I installed the front bumper vents...what do you guys think? These CF rims look so much better in person (especially in the sun).

Mate that looks awesome. I really liek the rims. Also i think the combination of blacked out grill /star with the rims and vent covers works really really well. Looks tough as hell !

Thanks man...the tires are Nitto Invos...I originally have 285s in the rear, but they rubbed so I had to move down to 275 (American Tire Co rocked and replaced then with the 275s for free, even after a week of driving on them - and gave me a small amount of store credit for the price difference between the sizes)
Front tires are 255s
Not sure of the wheel sizes but I believe the rears are 19" x 10" or 19" x 10.5" (forgot which one)

Going to wider tires, did you find your car's behaviour has improved dramatically? I've only changed my rears from 255s to 265s and have already noticed quite a significant difference in handling characteristics.

To be honest, the straight line grip is significantly better; however, the Invos seem to have far too soft of a sidewall. I will never buy these again, but since I paid cost for them, I won't complain too much, hehe. These tires would rock given how soft the tread is, if it weren't for the softer sidewalls. I run the tires at 43 PSI just so I don't feel like I'm riding on 50 series tires, haha.

Thats a really neat look, almost stealthy which is hard to do on an irridium silver, and those tires, they look so agressive.

Replaced the turn signals bulbs with stealthbulbs for a cleaner look.
Looks good. Now you just need a drop to make it perfect.
