That and a body kit with stock wheels just baffles me.

Don't get me wrong, the car still looks great. But it would look better with some wheels.
Do you ever have anything nice to say? Every single thread I open you're in it saying something negative. Who cares if he doesn't have rims.

I really took the time to do it right, and it took me about 100 hours altogether. I did it all by myself, expect for the first steps of disassembly. In retrospect, I should have removed the engine from the car. It wasn’t really hard (I’m not a mechanics, I work in IT), but very long.

The wrench provided by APS immediately broke, it was really weak. So I made my own, which held really well. Trust me, it was needed. The mirror was helpful in one particular situation where I couldn’t see what I was doing otherwise.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Later,

Thanks! With the bad roads we have around here, if the car was any lower, it would scrape EVERYWHERE. I already have to be really careful...

I agree, I dont understand how his a.ss is a moderator either, being the biggest post ***** on this forum shouldnt grant you moderating priveleges, ridiculous if you ask me

Regardless, this car is very clean and beautiful. As "function over form" as it gets....total sleeper yet beautiful

I love the stock 18's, they looks bad a$s on your car, especially with the wider tires and spacers'

North of the border coupe.......!

I really like the way your coupe looks! I don't know why some members
think we must change our grilles, I happen to like the way my OEM grille
looks. I'd replace it but I haven't seen anything aftermarket that looks
better! With his OEM wheels someone pulling up beside him might think
they could handle this black coupe.......supprise "NOT!" Not everyone
spends their hard earned cash on wheels but instead they spend it on
things that make it run great.......

hey Madelinot are you SURE those are 10mm spacers on the rear wheels ???
cuz it sits almost flush with the fender, those look like 20mm spacers to me...
I'm about to put 25mm spacers on my rear end but now looking at your pictures I'm afraid it might come beyond the fender wall
Not often. Halifax has one of the warmest average winter temps of major Canadian cities.

Much less snow than the prairies and most areas of Quebec, and a large part of Ontario. We've had some winters that we didn't shovel.

Sorry Madelinot for going OT. Your car is a real hit here.

i really like the stock look, so many people on this forum have clear corners but the orange really compliments the black color of the car

My stock OEM wheels are polished (and clear coated) and I have no issues whatsoever with the 275s.
