Re: My upcoming VIP summer project***

damn, man....one hell of an upgrade, not to mention the plans you have in the works. 8) This ride is gonna be a killa!

As far as the green tint, IMO green tint looks hot on white cars, or maybe silver or black. It might clash with that Cherry color tho, who knows.

Yeah, I had to let her go.(back in Feb. so I guess it took me 3 months to find this beauty) :-\.....but the cool thing about it, I was cruising on 121 last night.......all of a sudden I see some bright ass violet HIDs heading my way.......I just knew it was the es ;D.....and sure enough it was. she looked so clean, sleeek looking rollin down the highway.... I guess I'm still proud of her.
but in the end, I had to get me a true VIP platform to rep. :)

thanks for all the feedback. looks like everyone agrees that blackcherry will look sick on them scaras.

ahhhh...19x9+18 19x10+30 plan on 15mm spacer on back to make it more like 19x10+15

it's alot more aggressive than most specs I've been reading in forums and magazines. but I like the idea that I might find myself pulling and stretching tires to make those suckers fit.
