New pics...painted wheels and dropped

Just got my wheels powdercoated 2 weeks ago and lowered it on B&G springs last weekend. I also got 2 new tires since I hit a pothole a few weeks ago, but they are a little bigger than the rears so it sits a bit weird until I can get 2 more NT555's for the back. And I really need to extend my exhaust tip! But anyways here ya go!



















More to come!

Downright gorgeous. I don't say that about any Saturn...at all.

This is the only exception.

Amazing that not many people can grasp that concept. Always gotta go big when it doesn't need to be applied.

Or in Matty's case...too small (if anyone has seen his G8 that is lol)

Re: New pics...painted wheels and dropped

Wow, that really does look nice. Perfect ride height. The only thing I saw which is clearly 100% because of the angle/lack of light is this picture where it looks like the back is dropped into "ridin dirty" mode.

Re: New pics...painted wheels and dropped

Yeah if you look close at that pic you can see the cement goes up in the backgroud to our shop door so it makes the back look all saggy lol. Its pretty even and actually a little bit raked in the front, i love how it sits!

Oh yeah, I could tell from the other pictures it wasn't like that. It's just the one that was taken that way that gave me a chuckle.

Touchy subject? lol...

Stock wheels serve a purpose too. Otherwise your ride wouldn't go anywhere. Why not just powdercoat your stock wheels like Torched did? A black finish like his would make your wheels look shmexxxy!

Sorry Matty my boy, but your ride looks a bit...how do I word this..."from the country below the US-ish" if you know what I mean.
