pics are workin now, window tint looks good, ill get mine done soon. still dont know bout the flames. i thikn u should get the same size tyres on front as u do on the rear. or get bigger rims. but bodywise it looks good, so i say get your engine crankin. by the way, if u wanna take the "heat shield" off, u know what im talkin bout, you can and it wont do any damage, just in case u think it looks gay.... :wink: just try and find a original one. not one made out of a huge sheet of alfoil

yeah i bought the car with the flames and im kinda scared to take em off coz im not sure what it will do to the paint or if the paint underneath will be different to the rest of the car (sun damage?).

As with the tyres, im a uni student and therefore i have minimal income, but im gonna get the same ones as on the back put on the front (as soon as i find $160).

Hey, I like it mate...its different. the painted bumpers always make a biiig difference The flames dont look bad, maybe they'd just magnitize the cops a bit!

yeah i like the position of the gauge coz u arent really distracted off the road by looking at it. It doesnt really get in the way of speedo or tacho so the only thing i cant see is whether a door is open or im running low on fuel.

pfft, that isn't boost wyda

Much the same things to say as most here, looks very straight, and the paint's sweet, but the flames have to to go. I guess It's like taking off your sidestripes. start pulling and hope it doesn't take half your car with it! I wouldn't go any bigger with the rims (of course I wouldn't) but a different design might be nicer.

/is jealous of your tints.

/another vote for swapping the front tyres with lower profile ones.

just wondering, how does it handle with the huge front tyres? good for traction at all?? does it scrape the front guards around corners?

i dont think the flames are all that bad, i wouldnt put 'em on the car but since they are there i'd leave 'em until prehaps a respray is needed.

well i bought the car with those tyres and i wasnt sure why the previous owner would have them on, like what are the advantages? Im not sure if they have better traction coz i have never driven another cordia or had different tyres on it. They dont really scrape, like i cant hear it at all, but at bumps they kinda do. The steering is actually kinda light so its not too bad.

nah nah, larger rolling diameter gives you more grip and more top end speed :D

i guess it depends on wether you have too little grip or not. if you dont, smaller diameter will give you quicker acceleration. really, they should be the same at both ends regardless.
