^^^ SAME HERE!!!! get to painting and get some tires on thoes bad boys and start pickin up chicks cuz i have a feelin that your car is going to look FINE!

 

[LEXi73]

so i got bored and stole a photo from a member that has them on his msp and photoshopped them to my color and your gold color and i think i like it!


what you all think? only thing is i have a black msp so it is obvously a 03 and not a 03.5 just imagine a different wing.

i hope u painted ur car black with photshop as well...ur paint looks really flat...

 

[LEXi73]

ya its all photohop just a quick job to give me an idea ya it was a silver car before

 

[bigj884]

[LEXi73]

lol yaya ok i will well i would do more of a darker gold/gunmetal color

 

[bigj884]

so its duplicolor gold paint... i have some arospeed rims that would look hot in gold too, if i keep them and not sell them and get new tires for them in the future, gold is definitly on my list.

 

[miss_steele_msp]

wow that actually looks great. I think the flat black with those rims look sick. Its going to look good once you put them on. If i had a blue or black msp I would definately copy that.

[bigj884]

[fellfrosch7]

Why exactly is this getting bumped up when there hasn't been any updates of the actual rims on a car...?

 

[bigj884]

okay question: as the time grows closer as to me getting tires put on these bad boys and mounted on the car...i need a couple of answers

1. I got some spacers from Pep boys...i know some of you have used them or still are using them...and some of you complained of rust....i thought about painting them with some high heat paint....would there be a problem in doing so?

2. for those of you that have 18's on your P5....i know i need to roll my fenders for these to fit...and i got 2 spacers for the rear rims...but should i get spacers for the front rims as well?

brianmp5t said on an other 18inch rim thread earlier today that you wont even need anything rolled for the front.

I'm running 18's. The front just rubs on u-turns on the plastic splash guards. AS FOR THE REAR.....I had to use a few methods to finally get the fenders out far enough, as to not scrape the tires all to hell! But I did it.
