Critique My Ride

I'll add more pictures in a bit. Just added my new wheels and rims. 35mm offset on front and back, I thought this would be a problem but it doesn't seem to be. 19x8.5 wheel on 245/40/19s. How's it look, anything stand out, other than the rusty wheel which I have to clean? lol.

Tints are 35%. I'd like them darker but I don't want to do a two tone and it's way too dark here at night there's no street lights anywhere, so I'd rather not. I'm going to put a 50% on the windshield soon though that looks sick as hell I'll post some pics when I get that done.

I'm not at all familiar with body kits or dropping my vehicle, so I'm going to have to research that a bit.

Lower it a little...
Clear corners....
Paint the lower sills...
Paint the brake rotor assembly...
Paint the brake calipers...

I think you would be ok with 35% tint...I have 30% and have no issues.

Any more pics???

What tires do you have that are 245/40/19? I couldn't find any in that size for my last car except for Nitto 555's.

Those are Falken FK452s. I have the same tires in that size. You can barely make out most of the 'n' at the top of the second pic.

Looks good. I say either tint your headlights, paint the housings, or get some black ones online. I think that would fit the theme of your car better.

Definitely paint your lower sills as well.

It's looking good, but I would definitely paint the sills body color.
More pics would be good.

Awesome feedback I'll definitely take more pics., and as confirmed, those are Falken FK 452s. Seem to be everyones favorite I had to give them a try.

I was going to black out the Chrome Window Trim and the Door Handles but I don't know if I should do that considering the wheels have a chrome lip and it matches now. Then again if I did black them out it would make the wheels stand out more. What you guys think about that?

Also, how did FlyingLumpia post the actual pics in the message instead of the link?

Good start. I say keep the chrome around the windows to accent the polished lip and black out the door handles.
