Whole Bunch Of Shots - New Shoes
Friday, July 11, 2008 2:52 PM
It took me 8 years, but I've put new wheels on her. It's still strange seeing her like this after so many years together, but I think I'm happy with them lol... I'm just so not into modding, but the feeling that she wasn't complete really bothered me. I can't think of anything else I'd want to do besides new paint, but she's not worth the cost.

Anyway, here's some shots from earlier this week. I was losing sunlight & really should dig out my tripod, but I think some came out okay. I plan on some more photos in the somewhat near future. I'm pretty sure what some comments might be, so let me hear some!





















Last 1 is JDM yo I actually went against my nature, took this & put it up just for EcoMark
I'm really not a fan of angles either, even felt kinda stupid taking it

the rims do really finish the look of the car. Nice choice.

personally I would have shaved the spoiler... throw a 00-02 gt front bumper on there and that's pure sex...

^^^^no way the 95-99 fir gt bumper is so much better!

Car looks really good, i'm still trying to find that bumper to throw it on my car! If you ever get rid of it you got yourself a buyer.

Funny thing about these wheels is they photograph brighter than they really are in person. The actual finish is called titanium & they looked bright when I saw them online, but in person they're very dark compared to other bronze wheels I've seen. Love them though, I wouldn't choose differently.

Thanks! The spoiler is one of a few love/hate things I've got going on from my past. If I had the option today, I'd either shave or leave stock. However, I paid a bit to have this wing customized & mounted, so it stays. This is my favorite GT front & we've got an '01 already in the driveway, so that stays too. Emblems don't bother me, so there's no effort going into taking them off You've covered 2 of the 3 things I figured would be commented on, so that made me chuckle Thanks for the pic comment too!

Trade bumper for dog?

That's a word I never thought I'd hear applied to my car. Thank you

That brought a smile to my face, thank you!

I've been very, very down about my car and shopping for a replacement over the past few months. I'm trying my best to fall back into love with the Sunfire because disposing of a perfectly good running car isn't financially smart IMO, so hopefully these comments will make me think in the right direction. I thought finally finishing what I had in mind for her would make me happy, but my husband said he was a little let down by my reaction when I finally saw the wheels on. She's almost 10 & pictures hide a lot, but at least she can still look good online

Yes, seat covers was another! There's actually 1 more comment I'm waiting for too I love the seat covers for their tacky value, well aware that they are hideous

I like, spoke design reminds me of the tC rims. Bronze looks great on black, as always!

Hope you enjoy the ASX's more than I have though, we have those on our sedan...not impressed.

Thanks! Pitt is maybe 6 hours, I never go there. We'll be hitting the Laurel Highlands area in August, but that's as close as it gets. One day I want to make it to Pitt for the Warhol museum, but who knows how long until we do it! Thanks for the tail comment too, although I feel a little like a douche having them now that we have a WS6 too.

/me looks up TC rims... Yep, they are pretty similar. I like them because although less spokes, they're similar to the wheels on late 90's Legacys. I'm also a Subaru girl, those wheels IMO are hot! So these are close enough for me. ASX so far are okay, seems a little squishy. I did adjust my suspension before I drove it too since I had one of my dspecs replaced & went softer, so I don't know for sure if it's the tire or the softer shock.

Indeed we do, in fact I bought these because of you! You made this post back in September, I picked the wheels up off eBay in November So these are all your fault!
