Looks nice, man! and Welcome! :thumbsup:

What happened to the wheels you had in the first couple of pics? IMO they looked sweet. Definitely set your car apart from the rest. :)

The simmons were au offset and had rubbing issues, the ajrs went to a member on the forum, got tired of them and always loved the gtp style.

FR19 simmons are the next wheel i will put on the car

Well I thought about it, but I am putting an ed xr front on and colour coded looks too much with this colour with the xr grille. Still might do it though.

looking nice..
eb's look nice with a kit and sunroof.

nah i reckon leave the grey as it breaks up the slab of red.
im considering removing the colour coding on mine as i think full colour coding on cardinal red doesnt look right and needs another colour to break it up

yeah i agree eb ghia. If it was balack or blue or silver yeah, colour code it.
But too much red is not good. I saw the eb ghia in the for sale section and it is coded red with the xr front.

Looks neat mate. Only thing I'd Suggest to make it look cleaner without going OTT is painting or dying the Grey strips Black

Sweet car man! Love it! Except the fact you went from a 4.0 to a 5.0... :P Forget fr19's now that you can get fr20's... check out the fr20 thread to see my point.

Yeah i agree with Phat EL. i changed it to get the v8 sound, i am looking into an ed xr6 later this year to put boost into and get some silly HP number out of it.

looks fantastic, if your going to colour coded it, add chrome strips to the mould and window surrounds to break it up. :-)

Awesome looking car, did you keep the OM's despite their offset?
Colour coding will look schweet if you keep something to break it up a little
