It looks like a shadow above the rear passenger tire. It's not huge, it just annoys me. You can't see the cracks in the paint until your close. It's not that dented, just paint and old bondo broken off. It was wrecked there and fixed previously.

How wide are your wheels. Mine are 8 inches wide so the 225's are stretched out as it is. And your sidewall height is actually taller than mine, even though they are both 40s. The sidewall height is just a percentage of your width. My sidewall height is supposed to be 90mm but it's actually less since the tires are stretched. And your sidewalls are 98mm so a little bit of a difference. I can't wait to get my rims powdercoated and get a thicker tire on it.Quote:

i plan on putting 225 wide tires on my 8.5" wide wheels.
Mine look stretched. I like the look of wider tires though. I probably will go with 250mm wide tires. But I want to have the rims powdercoated first.
different tires fit differently. it really depends on the tire in how its gonna fit on a rim.
100% True. Some tires like to sit flush with the wheel like Kuhmos, some will set the wheel back farther with a "lip" on the tire like Dunop does, and some kinda roll the sidewall like BridgestoneQuote:

No, just a Borla Muffler. Too cheap to waste the money on a catback, no real gains there on this car. Saved myself $300 and still sounds great. Speaking of which, forgot to post the sound clip!Quote:

sounds nice.. i love the crackle of backfire. these things are really starting to grow on me.. weird
I do too, and they sound much louder in person. Sounds deeper too. The best is when driving through towns with tall buildings and hearing the echo of the backfires.Quote:

Yours must sound real good in person though if it is deeper.
i used to take my car through a tunnel going from downtown out onto the highway. it was a one lane strip of awesome. i was fairly modded at that point so my blower was louder than hell in the tunnel.
ive always liked cobalts, but im not sure id ever let myself buy one. i dont know why.

yea, they do have some really nice cobalts, but the interior tho is a little too small for me
After putting it off and getting stuck waiting for parts, not to mention a lack of motivation, for over a month now, I finally finished my retrofits. They're mini H1s with 5000k bulbs, slight color modding, e46 extended shrouds with custom halo, and satin black paint. I'll post up output shots, and better pics, when I get my good camera back, and we get a night not filled with rain. For now I've just got iPhone pics
