wheres your interior carbon shot.?

TiAgX5 08-10-2012 02:35 PM

IMHO, Primary colors and black only look right on the top performance models of ANY make/model vehicle. You don't have a 4.6 or 4.8 so leave it silver.

watchurself 08-10-2012 02:40 PM

JMHO - i would leave THOSE rims Silver

if you're bored maybe you should buy some new ones - I would go with Gun Metal RIMS myself with that CAR -would look Great IMO

i dont know if they make em in GM but would look badass i think

If you are going to change wheels, go with some lip. The X "needs more cowbell" in the wheel dept!

I disagree on this one...if the person knows how and what to do to make it aggressive..then we can go ahead....:thumbup::thumbup:

That's why I prefaced the statement with "IMHO". I've always been of the modding mind "form follows function". There's a local Imola Red E53 3.0 with 275/315 20" tires, IS ground effect package, CF wing lip over rear window, etc. Looks out of place on that truck.

Keep them silver.

pnoyako85 08-10-2012 06:35 PM

painted them already as in the pic ....lol..they look better...silver gets dirty too quickly ....not unless you got the cross drilled slotted rotors...to keep them clean..

Yes. During modding I always keep in mind "have the beans to back up the look" and mod like Colin Chapman (founder of Lotus Cars) and not like Martha Stewart.

The Henessey modded Viper in my avatar looks box stock but in fact has 690 hp. The Lingenfelter ZR1 has over 550 hp. Both look stock except for the "FEAR THIS" logos in the rear windows!

But not a straight away,,.power to weight ratio on car on straight road ill just see your tailight.. Lol.. But if still in hiway weaving in n out.. Thats a different story,,.. You should tow your 690hp on bmrfest,,.. I wanna hear your beast roar out the 690hp. Not alot of or lets just say i havent seen a viper with this hp on road. ...

Not sure If I can make it out, hard to find the time.

It's 580 on the motor and an additional 110 in the bottle. Can only hear the full 690 in 3rd gear at over 100 mph due to crazy wheelspin in 1st and 2nd or under 100. It dumps thru Henessy equal length headers, race cats and Moroso spiral flow race mufflers, Sets off all the car alarms at idle in 2nd gear, fun at the malls and St Pete Pier!

My buddy Tony D has over 2600 hp (Gene Fulton Pro Mod engine) in a street legal Viper, been for a few rides on the street and track, car is scary quick!!!

ey thanks for uploading them...
do you remember how much was needed and where you bought the wrap?

Brasscap 08-13-2012 02:04 PM

Plastidip those wheels and if you don't like it....peel it off. Only $6 per can at Home Depot.
