hey guys, just gonna throw a quick pic up to see your thoughts, last year my rims were kinda gunmetal with a chrome lip, got kinda sick of it, and went to the extreme i believe this year, all bronze with no chrome lip (same rims, just got them done in bronze)

Looking good I like it.

Things I'd suggest:

Getting it dropped
Removed door mouldings
TM3 plates (promoting it :chuckle)
and possibly new grille

i think if you painted the top chrome part of your grille body colour it would look much better than any open mouth grill!!!

also, just buy the sideskirts unpainted and bring it to a bodyshop to get it painted your colour.

wheels look great btw!

I agree completely. Mine is painted as I didn't want the open-mouth look. It completely cleans up the front end.

No need to paint the top chrome part when you can buy a factory painted piece for much cheaper ($46.33 plus tax). Very easy to replace.

Drop it like it's hot. Nice rim color choice!

I'm feelin the bronze rims much more than your original rims. Nice improvement.

in some light i cant stand the color lol, but thats prety much just when the light is shining on them, just looks odd, but at night, or in the shade, it looks awesome.....



not a big fan of the open mouth grille, ive always planned on getting the chrome piece painted, just want the sideskirts first so i can bring both to the painter.... my body guy doesnt want to just do the one piece lol, its ok tho he did a ton of work on my cavalier so he gets me awesome prices.... this factory piece thats 46 bucks or whatever, is it a whole new grille, or just the chrome piece in body color?


i wanna drop it soo bad but im just really doubtful about it, since i work construction and sometimes i bring my car onsite, plus the roads in kitchener waterloo are fricken terible lol.....



anyone know some cheap prices and places to get sideskirts?
