looks very nice mate, it's gonna look 10x better when it's lowered! The black lights are smart as the lexus' were a bit tacky i thought! No offense like mate!

Keep it up!!

imo i think you should swop the back lights lower remove and swop the wheels and remove the alpine sticker, thats kinda shouting out to pikey thieves you want somehting in yoru car nicking and its not like alpine need the sponsors

You know u love my sunstrip really, lol!!

I've got 195/45/15" on at min what tyre size should i go for, cos i dont reit know much tyre size if that makes sense, when i ordered them i told the guy i wanted the stretched look but he reckond you could not get a stretch on a 7inch wide rim??? Help appreciated :?

Edited by Clayton2007

185/45's or a 165/50 on a 7" imo, I've just got some 195/45's for my 6.5" rims so i cant realy complain about tyre sizes but i NEEDED them within a week and that is the only size i could get, they do look bloody big got a 195 though ;-? might just be the pic :D

thats mine on a 15x7j, not alot of stretch but better than none at all ;)

looks nice though my mate was thinking of getting the same wheels but he went with schmidt modern lines instead. remove that alpine sticker and lower it as much as u can without rubbin issues and its getting there :thumbsup:

I know tell me bout it man, got the lenso's from demon tweeks, interest free credit if you pay em off in 9 months if you go over interest charge is huge like 28.9% or some bulshit like that, you dont have to but i paid half off when i got em and gona pay rest on 18th when i get paid then there paid for 8-)
