i am ordering my 25mm bolt-on wheel spacers may 1rst so as soon as i get them, these bad boys are going on. i got all four from a buddy who totalled his s2k. this rims were just chillin' in this shed. got all four for $200. they did need new tires so i got some Riken Raptor's 225-50-16 ($216 for all four :mangel:)

I'm not sure how I feel about you getting the CTR kit, haha.

I really like the stock-look bad ass car you have.

I have no doubt that it will look great, I just like that your car is one of the few on ephatch that is different from all the others.

99.245609409% of cars on ephatch look the same.

There are a few other people who have nice cars that are basically stock-looking, but yours is my favorite. It's the only one that is truly bad ass.

It's kind of like when you were thinking of going turbo & I was sad about that, I guess.

I really really like your car as it is. No bullshit, all business.

oh okay, that wasnt very clear in the first post so i wasnt sure.
