Yeah I was def thinking about stoptechs, I think they're a good mix btwn performance and looks. I relaly like the uniquness of the Alcon's though, they just aren't big enough or loud enough I guess. Unless I could get the calipers painted.

The more I look at them, the less I liek rotoras

i hear you on Alcon. Unfortunately i've never driven a car with Alcon so i can't comment on the stopping power and performance, but as you know they're highly regarded.

Personally, i like to be different so if i had to choose i'd go with alcon, but StopTech would be very high up there too. Good luck!!

its all show

ironic · 09-22-2007, 08:30 PM

hmm that widebody kit by vqmtuning is gonna be $2999 and it's not a fullr eplacement peiece for the rear fenders for obvious reasons, but it'll cost quite a bit to get the custom work done then. youll have to have a shop cut your fenders and repaint half the car. i had only about $2500 budgeted for the body kit. i wonder how much all that work would cost.

forget about brakes and anything else for a while i guess and start doing more graphic work.

gotta sell my oem wheels and try and get someone to buy my front bumper, sides, and rear

haha just make sure the kit is reversible. Meaning that you can put back your old fenders and change it back to stock. That is if you ever plan to sell the car later on. It'll keep the resale value.

I don't think that'll be possible, without major modification and repaint again. maybe widebody isn't the way to go

evoi19 · 09-22-2007, 08:48 PM

oh and if you get that kit, would you get wider wheels? 20x11?
