Thats cool. Hide that stabilizer and wire.

 

[.:R32AtuB.]

tasteful drop and it'd be perfect

Just don't know where to hide it at... Any help would be great. And I'll be dropping it as soon as the money is there

 

[UGFast89]

That stereo system makes me wanna cry. But atleast you can admit your mistakes. Do suspension

 

[jcurotto23]

Yeah man I screwed up. I'm going to get rid of it ASAP and go with a rcd510 or rns510. And get rid if the two 12's and just have a alpine type r 10 side mounted

Looks better, but 235 is meaty as fuck. You didn't have to order the wheels to fit the tires. 235 will stretch to fit wider wheels than you can fit on that car. Easily fits on 9.5 width. Got buddies running 205's on 9.5. Just saying.


Tapatalk because bored.
