For now, I like it, so it stays. Other priorities such as lowering it take priority (12 more days until that is done). Chances are when I order a new hood/deck lid along with the a body kit (for which I am still undecided), I may omit the use of the symbol as to not offend any other owner.
I thank you for the feedback.

The general consensus is first and foremost a lowering regardless of the wheel style. Others have been blunt about not liking them. I can only offer that they look great rolling (hope to have some shots of that soon) and in person. The style is different, I do not mind trying out something out of the ordinary if I like it and I am willing to except persecution from those that do not agree.
I am going to remove the chrome inserts and go solid black inserts so that will change in about two weeks when the parts come in. I am always interested in hearing what you have to say.

BTW since you took the OEM 19's off, if they had good tread left you can probably sell them and make a lot of money back. So what if you've added a few pounds per wheel (in actuality since it's rotating mass, it's a ton more) - not everyone is all about performance. As far as the "heavy" comments - many members on here are rolling on over-priced aftermarket 19's which weigh just as much if not more (Volks, iForged and Works being the obvious exceptions).

****.. i mean i'm the biggest batman fan out there but.. i wouldn't even go as far as puttin that on my car lol. I think the car is clean, alot of folks will hate cuz their not the "almighty" volks etc etc but watever i think some volks are hideous but i'd get flamed and it's really not worth the trouble.. ONLY thing.. wtf is up with the leather bra dude, wtf.. bat man isn't a middle age woman.. loose that ****, looks like a muzzle. other than that.. i think a moderate drop and ur good to go. *if u chose to stick with the batman .. seriously consider doing it Blacl chrome.. **** will look much more subtle*
clean whip tho.

My problem is that I commute 122 miles per day in my G on the freeway so it takes a beating in the front end and it seems the paint there is not the best.
I agree it must go and I SWEAR it will be gone as soon as I decide on a kit and get my ride painted. I have spring and suspension this month so I will try to the kit and painting next month.
I am thinking the Black Chrome will look good as well, can't wait to see for myself. Thanks for the feedback.

I never thought of the Bra as the MASK form of batman, but I can't excuse that as why it is on the car. I still think it has to go, thanks for the feedback. I'll do a separate emblem in the black chrome and try some new pics.
