I find it amusing though, how like as the price of the car goes up, the more nice wheels you see on it.

Example.

Hyundai Tiburon - Hot Wheels, Random Brands, Konig

SRT4 - HP Evos, Enkei

S2000 - Work, Volk / Rays, BBS

Yeah I found a sweet looking deal, two bride zeta III's with rails and s2k brackets, and the whatever where bride is on the seat panel thing gradiant? for 350$ + 80$ shipping.

And hopefully after I pawn off all this SRT stuff I'll buy my CF Hood / Trunk / Front and Rear Splitters + Skirt Splitters. Then we'll be on our way to win the game, not lmao.

I really really want VOLK TE37s, but I'm super low budget atm, do they look good on our cars and if so how big of a lip can you run in the rear?
so what made you want to get rid of the skittle? and the gradiant like my seat? i say do it! if you don't like it you're not really out that much money

Yeah the black fades to gray thing. And, the SRT has too many issues really, like in the morning it'll randomly start loping like a 521 cammed hemi dart, loud enough that people on the 8th floor ( garage is on the 1st floor ), complained to staff about it and I got fined 50$, thing is, it lopes and I DONT have am cams. Not supposed to happen. Plus I'm throwing like 9 CEL, stock seat belts dont latch, emmissions psh what are emissions when you have an SRT4.

Long story short, car is too loud, gets me in trouble, doesn't pass inspection, and after the 2nd ticket for having an expired inspection / getting car towed from the 4th floor parking for same reason, decided to just sell it and buy this.

good choice IMO. I never understood the skittle hate bandwagon as they are a good bang for the buck kind of like the DSM but, doesn't crankwalk into the next car over

the only thing is if you put a test pipe on the S. you won't be able to pass emissions. that is depending where you go. since i am on a good term basis with the people in college station. they skip all that stuff for me

Yeah, I had my people try to pass it but even with cheating the system there were just too many things wrong with it to pass it lmao.

My rents said not to do anything to the car that could possibly start causing inspection troubles. Intake shouldn't throw CELs or cause a failed inspection right?
