[dz N.U.T.Z.]

nice..

[NoWAyItZTOMmY]

that shit goes hard!

[SampaGuy]

not as clean as your corolla :)

[Capt._Ron]

out of curiosity is that just how the front fascia/fenders fit? If so have fun keeping the side of you car clean

[silverDA]

Merk/

[EJ_Allmota]

the car looks good but im not a fan of the front bumper and fendes.. did RPF1s drastically drop in price recently :thinking: because everyone on IA has them..

[Frög]

not as clean as your corolla :)

only thing that looks good are the wheels..

[gtikid]

Take some better shots that aren't so close

[BKgen®]

RPF1's are nice.


But what the fuck is going on with the rest of the car? You going for a half-transformed optimus-prime look?

[Dwisforme05]

niice

[punkr6]

I like the wheels, but whats up with those side skirts and fenders ?

[Frög]

I like the wheels, but whats up with those side skirts, fenders, hood, rear bumper, front bumper ?

Fixed!

[Revmaynard]

RPF1's are nice.

It's like a tranny with half her sex change done. lolol

[ATL_e92]

clean wheels, i love that baby sign LOL

[ATL_e92]

It's like a tranny with half her sex change done. lolol
LOL

[osnap]

haha everybodys straight hatin on the J's kit! Man I like RPF-1s but i just cant bring myself to get them since i think i see more s2ks with those wheels than freaking stockers.

lookin good though.

[Sexyskyline]

Wheels are nice but not realy feeling the front and back fenders...

[Sammich]

dont like the front bumper...maybe w/ a huge FMIC...but i also believe a more aggressive set of wheels should have been put on...the RPF-1s are way too plain for your setup..if you are going to rock that cosmetic setup...get some crazy wheels

[MachNU]

is it just me or does it kinda look like a inbred Prowler?

also why 9.5 all the way around? kinda large for the front aint it?

[BobbyFresco]

They weren't all that expensive to begin with, IMO.:dunno:

[csmiths]

LOVE IT. paint those sides skirts to match the front and the rear and ill love it even more

[LENG-EG6]

LOOKING GOOD

[VooDooXII]

Oh hell I just saw this car at Taco Mac last night. The kit looks MEAN...don't like the offset vent but whatever, awesome car!

[smrlsvtec]

looks dope homie!!!!

[EJ_Allmota]

Leng and Jay, allya fools just said that because you know your joints are straight Sickness..

[mezzies96teg]

looks good bro! keep it up!

[Mr. Clean]

awesome. i was actually thinking the same thing.


i don't know what it is about this car... i know it should be nice, but there is just something that's not meshing right with me. i can't put my finger on it. i think i really want to see some good pictures of it too though.

[HachiDori]

Looks cool, is this a street car?

[MeFryRice]

The car looks 10x better with the RPF1's instead of the OEM ones.

[merfwin]

You going to really hate the rain with those fenders! looks good tho

[alpine_aw11]

Looks great. I love that J's kit.

[dtmcnamara]

daily


LOVE IT. paint those sides skirts to match the front and the rear and ill love it even more

car will be going back in the paint booth again soon

waiting on some measurements before doing anything crazy. RPF1's are cheap, needed something to get on the car quick


It's like a tranny with half her sex change done. lolol

exactly what I was going for...lol


is it just me or does it kinda look like a inbred Prowler?

I want to be able to rotate tires. With -2 to -3 camber on the rear wheels, i need to be able to make tires last as long as possible


You going to really hate the rain with those fenders! looks good tho

i dont hate the rain, but the people next to me do...lol I will try to get some shots of the car in action in the rain, its quite funny

[ATLTSX]

Looks good man. Not sure if I'm feel the fenders but it is your car.

[fosel007]

looks good man

[eYezs1ck]

are you going to lower your car?

[dtmcnamara]

are you going to lower your car?

it is lowered...lol

maybe once its no longer a daily I might go lower. at almost $1000 per lip I cannot afford to mess this one up any time soon

[Sammich]

cool cool.. that works and now understandable:goodjob:

hopefully when ur ready to sell i can pick these up from u:D

[Marta Mike]

There are few s2k's that i like and this is one of the few. I like your car over the yellow one here that floats around that everyone seems to glorify. I like the kit bc i know j's makes functional pieces and it doesnt look like every other s2k you see. The rpf1s are played but i see your reasoning, and just from the kit alone im sure theres much more to come. Props on a nice build and having a different s2k than most.

[Xtreme]

I think the car is beautiful, I just don't like the hood, other than that its perfect.

[smrlsvtec]

18x10.5 +22 will fit perfect :goodjob:

[dtmcnamara]

18x10.5 +22 will fit perfect :goodjob:

let me guess. you got a set for me too...lol

I am thinking about going to 18's but I also want to bring this baby to the mountains once I get some proper suspension installed so I am not sure. Without boost I think 18s would be too much wheel, it would look goo, but I am looking for function as well.

We will see, I have to first pay my last shop bill off before anything happens...lol

[browningboy7]

sigh. Baller Car. Non-Baller wheels. By car one of my favorite S2K's I just can't stand those wheels at all.

[4DrTeg]

looks good

[smrlsvtec]

most of the N/A track cars run 18s :goodjob:

[FLIPside]

I want to have sex with your car !

LOL :eek:

[sikfricks]

reps for stepping outside the box

[dtmcnamara]

hummmm.....interesting....i will take this in mind.

BTW....running 17x9+22 up front now...lol

[j0nbunklah0m]

u go to gpc huh. car looks nice

[cleanion31]

looks clean to me

[Doppelgänger]

I'd drive it... looks great.

I'd love to do a front fender setup like that eventually. Is there any underbody aero to go with it? Any plans on protecting the paint on the leading edge of the rear arches/mirror/front fenders? That is about the only negative about the design of the front wheel/fender area.

[VteC power]

saw you heading towards GPC lol. loving it , i want your hood

no protection...the way I look at it, I built the car to drive, I am going to drive it and if something scratches it o well. Now I am not saying that want any of this to happen, but shit the first day I had the car back I hit something on the highway and chipped the hell out of the front bumper. o well, its just a car

[dragoncelica]

Bro, and you where thinking of getting rid of it a few month back!
it turn out just amaizing and i am very happy for you my friend!

[SnailedFG2]

Looks so sexy. I'm loving the new fenders.

[secondgencamaro]

I agree the wheels do look a little tame for the car, but looks good none the less.

[babowc]

Looks great man!
a little lower all around and you'll be set!

I just got some VSXX in decent sizing.. thinking whether i should put it on or not..

saw your car around a few times, glad you got rid of those black wheels!

[HillClimbGuy]

very nice
