Default So my riceroni is in the shop...

Next week around this time will emmerge (sp?) with:

New OEM 2000 bumper w/fog light kit
VIS Racing OEM style CF hood
Jun Style Lip
2000 CTR Headlights

then I'm gonna have somewhere between $1900-2400

what should I do?

I want new rims... some rotas... dont really care what kind... gunmetal, with a polished lip. 16" and some tires...

i need some help pickin em out, and some really good race/street tires...

also, with the remaining say.... 900-1400 dollars left after rims...

what should i do with my suspension or brakes?

i have black widow sides and rear, so i dont know how low i can drop this thing without rubbing... lot of hills around here...

thanks!

I got Rota Grids - Gunmetal w/ Polished Lip - 16" w/ tires for a little under 1000....I like the look....

Definetly drop the SOB....if ur worrying about rubbing...get like a 1.8 or 1.75" drop, that, with some 40 or 45 size tires shouldn't be a problem...then again I duno how low the widow kit sits....

Good luck man, get some picks when you get it back, I wanna see it...i think we all do.

Thanks man. I think a 1.25" drop would be just about as low as I can go unfortunately. Yea I'm gonna get some 45 size, not quite sure what brand just yet. I've heard alot about the Toyo's. The widow kit right now is about 5" off the ground.

I will DEFINETLY take some better pics and get em scanned in for everyone. After the rims because right now I'm still "rawkin them 18z dawg!!!". LMAO

Your having a shop install all that? You could have saved money and did it all yourself except painting the bumper.
