How about a closeup of the wheels, I like 'em.

The numbers on back instead of a license plate looks wicked too!

Is it just the angle of the pictures or are those wheel sticking out from under the fenders a bit (especially the front ones)? It looks good, but if you're going to lower it and they are sticking out you may need wheels with a higher offset (or take out the spacers if you have them) to keep from rubbing.

Very nice! I love the deep-dish look of those wheels! Any rubbing with the 265s in the back?

Is that a silver Toyota Kijang (whatever it's called in Malaysia) next to your car in one of the pictures! I love those things hehe..

that is a great looking amp =) I didn't know AUdison was still around. Back in the early 90's , when I was in the car stereo business, my shop was one of the only authorized distributors of Audison...... nice, clean power for mids and highs, and very pricey.
