Installed some new goodies today

So while back I had reached out to Mango because he had a awesome underride protection bar unfortunately the bar with the hardware + shippingwas just out of my price range especially with a pet emergency that came up recently.

I came across a killer deal that I couldn't pass up on a older version of the underride bar, it was a little scratched up and has a small dent in the bottom side of it but I can look past it considering that it came with the hardware and I got free shipping from California and paid about $800 total for everything.

locally also somebody had a pretty killer deal for some style 214 wheels for 400 bucks so I should stash those up swapped over my good tires from my factory wheels.

trying to decide if I like the silver wheel look or if I want to go powder coated gloss black...

The only reason I think black wheels would look good is because the wheel arch trim and the side skirts are black as well which creates a second layer of dark colors which would include the wheels in the wheel well.

GREAT LOOKING X!!!

Now I really want that under ride bar. I vote for black under ride but no black on the wheels. Either keep them silver or go with nothing darker than nogaro (darkish grey color) for the wheels. Just my opinion. Black wheels always destroy a look to me unless full on race car.

Agreed. But I'll admit... I'm heavily biased.

No matter what you decide... that is one excellent example of an e53 nextel.
