dlegend Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Coming along nicely. What's the objective - fast road or taking to the track? Al. fast road use (within speed limit of course and to use less fuel im hoping for but with neptune rtp i have a choice of switching maps on the fly eco, normal, and fu**ing fast mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) those look nice with white rim. i think they are a wide body style rim, if you hook that rear end with a widebody tail and side skirt system those rims would fit like cut diamonds in a gold mount. what your missing is the rear quarter panel kit that fills the tail sides out to hold those rims. and thats why your looking at a lip roll to make them look like they fit. i would look at trying to find to rear widebody quarter panels , trust me it will look the dangles then and no need to lipcurl that rear tail side. so those white rims sitting in a styled wide body kit ( touring car style agressive but flows ) have a goodle at civic ef widebody , look at the white coachworks that look a tad like a touring car ( hatchback tourers ) if your ever in norfolk holler old tamiyacowboy and he will come lay some banskys on your ride, treble its street cred and your wallet Edited February 17, 2015 by Tamiyacowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
