In the OP's defence,

Quote:
first, the tyres side wall is curved and this is because your wheels are wider than the tyres width. so, you need to change to a wider tires in order to make the tyres side wall somehow in line with the wheels or perpendicular to the ground.but be carefull not to let the wheels go beyond the fender boundaries because it would be very ugly.if that would be the case then you need to buy new wheels which move the entire tire to the inside to the point which make it in line with the sidefender.
The whole point of the appearance you see is because he wants to run an aggressive offset rim without rubbing or causing too much "poke". He has to run narrower tires to do this, hence the stretched look. Not something I would do personally, but its something he's going for, so all the power to him. Also, by perpendicular to the ground I assume you mean wheels and tires straight up and down? Meaning no camber? Well anyone who's knows a little about cars would want a bit of camber for handling.

second, it seems that you like the car without a wing. no problem, even though i prefer it with the big one.but remember here brother that you need to make you car appearing somehow balanced. so my suggestion is that you put a wing even a small slim one ( such as the one that comes with the business sti package) and your car will be much better looking.
The whole point of going wingless, is to not have a wing.

Replied to your PM on info about painting.

please let me know what you think of this.

thanks for the compliment bro.

yea i know my tires are curved. which i was goin for in the first place. but if you look at it carefully it isnt really much stretch look to it. plus i dont really need much tires since this set up is for the " show mode " haha i have different wheels for stright line performance. i much a handling guy since i dont hit the road course or can afford it.

yea with my rear diffuser. wingless looks way way better than with STi. but yea if your talking about the V-limited wing. thats maybe my future mods. no money right now

yea thanks alot of taking the time to suggest input on my car.

Looks are a matter of opinion. There is no rule book that states you must have a wing to satisfy STIbuddy. Everyone can offer their opinion, but when it comes down to it, it is his car.

I personally do not like his rear diffuser and would go a different way, but his car is still gorgeous. Again, my opinion.
