I would not get a German car. It's hard to work on and expensive to fix.

That's a nice pic. Allow me to use an illustration:

Anyone know where i can find a speed3 bumper? And if you think it'd be cool with using that instead of an oem bumper since i got rear ended? Like if insurance would go for that or the body shop, if anyone has done something like that

Well it was time for a change, the blue is becoming played out all over the car scene (i was one of the first dammit) so here's a teaser

And i love it. So far it is my favorite that ive done. I was going to buy coilovers a week back but instead i got tattooed so who knows when those will happen. I also got rear ended a few days ago, i take the car in tomorrow for a damage estimate. Damage seems very minimal. Possibly just a new bumper but we'll see.

Interesting alternative to coilovers. What was sketched? I would probably have gone koni, ground control, and springs personally, but that would be pushing 1100.00.

All of the colored wheels are going to be done. I think it is a matter of pulling the whole car together. Those look pretty cool though. By the way, I feel the same way about white wheels (see them a lot), but I intend to keep making the car how I want it.

eta: have you considered some small spacers to change the stance slightly?

Whats dumb is i can get a set of racelands for $300 right now too haha, oh well. I had the itch, i ended up getting a couple pieces on my right leg.

White is on its way out too i feel like. I never seen neon geen/lime green/whatever you wanna call it though. I used just spray cans as always, it holds up well and turns out just as well as i'd hope.

And yes i really want to look into spacers, i think it would make a huuge difference and not look so stock. I just have no idea what size to get

Test out some 10mm spacers. That is a little less than 1/2". If you go any bigger, you might run into lug trouble.
