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"

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.

Still intrigued by your mods

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!

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
