Yeah.. the problem is the tints over the completely clear ends up like that in real life, its very yellow. I've seen two examples in person now, and I don't like it at all. I'll be doing red-out or paint if anything.

holy cow those wheels look good.

tint... not so much. I personally like them clear. if anything, break them open and tint the chrome part on the inside... similar to this:

What do you mean they are yellow?

asaturn · 06-21-2008, 10:47 AM

the "black" tint for tail lights is actually a yellowy/green/brown "black" vs. the dark purple/grey "black" in the paint... so it doesn't match in sunlight.

Sick ride Paikman!! with that offset can I ask how much rubbing do you get? what mods have you done to prevent this, i.e guard rolling etc? Can you carry passengers in the back without any issues? Thanks

UberWagon · 06-22-2008, 12:48 PM

Those wheels look great!

RFFG · 06-22-2008, 02:38 PM

Wow, absolutely stunning.

Keep up the nice work

hey..i've only had 1 about 100 lb asian girl as my passenger constantly, so hard to say really haha
i do need a bit more camber in the rear..the rear fenders are rolled completely flat. no paint chips/cracks from that at all , IAG did an amazing job.

I can attest to the weight/rubbing issue.

Passengers in the back is a no-no. I'm missing a few clips from rubbing issues on my rear bumper and it's loose. The TE37s are off now because of this.

damstr · 06-22-2008, 08:33 PM

Car looks absolutely sick man really liking it.
