I know, I know, I need some center caps. I am working on finding some. What do you think, black or white center caps?

Kind of a crazy paint scheme, but pimp nonetheless. Looks good dude. Hey, if you ever think you have too much money and you don't want to spend it on your car anymore, give me a ring, I need mods badly. :)

looking good. so those are either the Racing Harts or something else. i didn't see the racing hart label on them. i've got the same rims but can't figure out which ones they are. i just noted them as racing harts until i find out which ones they are. pretty sweet. what lugs did you use?

konig subzero's
25158, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by brynden29, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
No, they are not the Racing Harts. I am still pissed about that. They are Konig Subzeros. But I like them a lot. I think that they add a lot to my car and really finish it well. I am very happy overall with them. Except that Konig only makes a red center cap. WTF? So I guess I am going to have to buy those and either have them shot white, or powder coated. Anyone know which would be better?

"No, they are not the Racing Harts. I am still pissed about that. They are Konig Subzeros. But I like them a lot..."

What do you mean?? did you order the Racing Harts or something and they gave you the Konigs?? If you did something like that, I'd fight it!! Either way, they do look sweet, and I think just spraying the center caps should be fine, just find some strong paint.
25161, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by brynden29, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
What I am mad about is this:
Well I went back to Discount tire to order the Racing Hart rims. He called them to get a price and order them and the salesman told him that they do not make this tire in an 18" 5 Lug. They make the 15" and 17" 5 lug, but not the 18", WTF? Last week I went in and he called them and they said no problem.
25162, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by guest, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Dood I had my heart SET on the rims I got...I had to go to 4 locations in houston before I found the ONE store that had em in 5 lug and 17s. ;-) just a thought.


I like those alot, really. I wish my rims were white, be honest.

*clears throat*

Well, dmotoguy, not that I should even dignify your post with a response, but I will. I am sorry that you do not like the way my car looks. I do. But aside from that the manner in which you posted your "hate" comments was a little rude, don't you think? I try to be a nice guy and if I do not like something I usually do not post. But unfortunately you chose the "hate" route. That is your choice, and you are entitled to your opinion.

So, lets get down to it then. You think my car is ugly, that's cool, but this is an Eclipse performance site, so... I would race my "ugly" car against your "badass ride" (sarcasm as I have never seen it) and smoke you like there is no tomorrow. My car is way faster than yours has a full competition stereo and is, in your words, "ugly". So how would that make you look, getting beat unmercifully by my ugly car?

I am not sure who you are, or if this is your car:
http://www.2gnt.com/dcforum/DCForumID15/3717.html
and maybe that is why you decided to take a shot at me, since I slammed on your car. But whatever your intentions, just realize that your childish, "what the fuck is wrong with you", comment just shows how immature you are. So if you would like to give some constructive criticism I am all for it, but if you want to just flame people cause you are jealous, save it for the Honda forums.

*bell rings*
Schools out.

AMEN to that brother... p.s. LOVE the rims, LOVE the stereo, and (saving the best for last) LOVE the turbo :thumbsup

Who are you to talk man? Where's your car? I seen his car in person and Brynden's car is FAAAAR from what you think it is. It's everything and more that you could do. It's his car, give him a break. It reallly gets to me when people say shit like that. I'm sure people hate my car and my mods to it...who cares. I think his car rooolz. And...it's faster than yours and mine :)

put that in ur bong and smoke it tia _|_ !!!

Most Likely. We're gonna be twins in the same booth :)

Posted by brynden29, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
You know that I am in. I just do not know if I am going to be in the Digital Audio booth or not. I am waiting to hear from them to find out. If not I am going to be in my friends booth that did my stereo. I don't think that you guys will be able to pull your cars close to mine or not. The booths are right near all the vendors tents, so we will have to see.
25176, RE: hey dmotoguy...i got a lil message for YOU.
Posted by m_berrow, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
well thats cool. we can still get together before and at the show. Myke give me a hollar so we can meet up. That way you can roll with the rest of us down there. We have 2 jeeps, a mustang, possibly a vette and my ride. We may drag along a couple four wheelers too to go ridin. We are staying at my friends apartment so you can stay there. my cell number is 832-444-5770. let me know bud.

25178, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by eclipse804, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hey Brynden I think your car looks good, but something has been buggin me and dmoto reminded me. Please don't take offense. I think the white graphics look good, but I think if you painted your hood, rear hatch, and sideview mirrors black, your car would look a lot cleaner. I love your interior, turbo, sound system, but just those parts of the exterior I think are too extreme. Of course, my opinion doesn't matter at all, since you should do what you like. But I'm just telling you this because if I knew you in person, I would probably be buggin you every time to paint your hood and rear hatch hehe. Just a suggestion. Or maybe a cf hood. The only reason it bugs me is because I think you have a really tight show winning car, but then those parts I mentioned kinda kills it for me. But maybe its different over there in texas compared to cali, since now that I'm in New Mexico, people have a much more different taste in fixing up cars.
25179, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by cucumber, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
The rims set the car off. I have to agree with the approach eclipse804 took, your car would be SICK if you got the hatch and hood painted black. I just think it's too much. It's just my opinion, though, and you know what everyone says about those...
25180, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by brynden29, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hmm.... thanks for the honest opinions guys. You don't think my car would look funnee if I had all the white pieces painted black? I think that if I did that then the white graphics would look wierd because it would be the only white on my car, besides the rims. Tell ya what, if someone can photoshop my car all black with the graphics white, and I like the way it looks, I MIGHT consider it. :)
25181, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by eclipse804, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hey Brynden, honestly I would paint everything black, and just keep the white wheels with white graphics. I'm sure other cars have done that too. Please do it, hehe. Maybe someone can photoshop it so you know what it would look like. I'm just trying to be honest, at least as far as socal taste goes, the people I know would agree with what I said.
25182, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by cucumber, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Brynden, I'm giving you tennessee tastes, and we rednecks know how an eclipse is supposed to look. Trust me man, it would be SICK if you had the whole car black, with white rims and white graphics.

25185, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by eclipse804, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hell yeah. That looks badass. I would also lose the white diamond star, and maybe just get a cf hood. I think it looks great.
25186, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by Weezle745, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
DEFINITELY looks WAY better without the extra white. I would paint it black if I was you.

I understand the constructive critisism, but man I hope he doens't get offended. It really does flow well in person guys... I can't explain his car...but in photos it doesnt all the way look there...but in person the car looks amazing. Oh wells. I would leave it the way it is. And I didnt' used to say that,either.
25190, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...

it's very unique leave it the way it is, i like it, lookin sweet, the only thing that i would recommend changing is the spoiler deal, but maybe it's to save you some body work i understand, but hey nice ride fo-sho

Dude...the more I look at your car, the more I like it! I think it is PHAT Pdiddy style! :thumbsup

AND you are from TX, I think? (from your license plate)

I'm in Dallas, got any old body parts you don't want for my busted up 95? pllleeeeaaase :D

TIght Ride!

Thanks

Posted by dmotoguy, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
hey man,

im sorry for how i made those "hateful" remarks...

and i think your car would look bad ass if the only white on your car was the graphics... i am just used to clean cars with modest graphics (if any).... and i am not saying that my car is better than yours (because it isnt) but it is a very respectible show car... i just got home from drop zone in salem ore.... where i won my class (first show) if anyone will host my pics for me i will get them up !!!
25193, RE: New pics of my ride with the new rims...
Posted by brynden29, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Hey man, its cool. Like I said, everyone is entitled to their opinions.

By the way, I looked at the pic of my car all black, and I like it, but not as much as mine now. Plus I realized that you can not please all of the people all of the time. So I am going to please me all of the time. :) And that means leaving it the way that it is. Thanks for the opinions guys and I will take what you all said to heart, but for me, if it ain't broke, dun fix it. (cheesy Texas reference)
