andrew..

car looks great, you have a great eye for the details. now go out and enjoy that car

 

Very Nice!! Was the rear bumper a slap on deal or modifications needed?

 

The bumper was more or less a "slap on" deal. Pretty good fit for a fiberglass piece. Hopefully no one rear ends me (knock on wood)

The bumper and the spoiler did require a lot of prep and sanding. They were really rough out of the mold. The body shop did a pretty good job smoothing them out. I'd recommend the anziano pieces. Just be prepared to spend a little cash getting them prepped properly if you want them to look as close to factory as possible. That goes for most of this non-oem stuff though I guess. Welcome to the world of aftermarket... where's nothing's ever "perfect" and the best you can hope for is "really good"

 

i can't tell what it is anymore except by reading your signiture great job on the mods!

 

I know. My wife says the same thing My words to her before we bought it "that I don't even plan on modding this car" are still haunting me!

 

 

looks tremendous, love what you have done. if the cotter-pins are annondized red (on the wheel hubs), replace them with stainless or annodized black to finish it off. i love the bumpers, they really do look marvelous.

nice job sir

 

You are hanging out at the wrong place if that is what you told her.

 

Deputydog: I'm still intirgued by your mods and would like further details on the cargraphic 19's...

Which cargraphic model are they?
What are the wheel sizes/tire sizes?
Do you feel the size fills out the wheel wells properly, or do you wish you had gone with a different size wheel?

I especially like the black w/ dummy centers, and think it would be a good combo with my black cab top (like yours).

If you could post close-up pics of the wheels, that would be great too!

Thanks!!

 

19x8.5 fronts
19x10.5 rears

245 and 305 respectively on the tire widths

they are the standard cargraphic wheel. when i bought them, i think this was the only type available for our cars. from the pics i saw from sema, they may have others out now.

i think they fill out the wells nicely. can't realy get much bigger without rubbing. most assuredly not if you're lowerd. i would have preferred a bigger lip, but on the narrow bodies you're just so limited. i think most of the turbos have at least a 4" lip, where as mine is around 2.5 to 3 inches.

pm erik at cargrahic. he can probably give your more details on models available, etc... he posted in a little ways up in this thread.

i just got back from the bahamas (which work paid for i might add ) and haven't been home yet. do a search under my name and i did a review of the cargrahic wheels right after I got them. Has lots of pics.

thanks again everyone for the compliments on the car!

 

Cargraphic wheels ROCK....oh course I'm a little bias.....


Dont bother looking at the shiney Yellow GT3 and The Atlas Turbo. It's the wheels we're talking about here...

 

Deputydog: Thanks again, for your helpfulness!!

RDH: Now you have me torn between silver and black... Great looking wheels!!

 

You could go with silver for a while and if you get tired of it Then do the centers in black (powder coated or paint)...Not a big deal
