I actually kinda regretted it. The dirty / dark / semi hidden tips go better with the shadowline badges and black handles. Oh well, I guess I just need to press with my right foot harder to get it smoked up again :p:

is your truck lower?

Yep, lowered with H&R springs kit!

love your car, how do you find the h&r's ride?

simoncpw 04-22-2009 09:06 PM

I find very little difference to the original Sports springs in terms of ride comfort. but it does cut corners a little firmer.

how much is it lowered

NastyBlackx5 04-23-2009 03:11 AM

i am so jealous of these wheels, how did u mask them off so perfectly??

simoncpw 04-23-2009 10:06 AM

dsm2925- I didn't really measure the before and after, but it's about 1.2" front and 1.0" rear according to the specs

NastyBlackxx5- I didn't mask them, the paint shop did ;) And they did an excellent job!

for the handles, I decided to:
1) buy the original black / plastic handles (those for the basic models), the cost was much cheaper than repainting my original handles!
2) keep the rear part of the handles in body color to create the two tone effect.

I've also replaced the rear cover for the keyhole to a fully covered one for the cleaner look (this is the before photo, my X is RHD)

I'm quite happy with the result. The Black / Silver two-tone effect changes when looking at the car from different angles which is kinda cool :cool:
