Well with winter here i won't see these rims till next spring but this is my Stripped base model. Nothing special at all the only thing cool on it is the Stance GR+ coil overs. As it sits now it's just on the 15"stockers....hubcaps and all. I have 17x8.5 XXR 527's on layaway but by time i get them (a month or so from now) It will be snowing so it's not even worth it to put them on till next spring.
Till then, all I have are these photoshops of my car with the wheels on. It's nothing impressive mine is the seriously stripped model roll up windows, manual locks. All i have for coolness is the lowered suspension, 20% tint all around, the LED running lights, a subwoofer, and full leather interior from an SS. Oh, and a K&N Typhoon intake. Other than that my car looks like the one below, just not with the pretty wheels.
Otherwise I'll have to wait till spring to see this in person. It's going to be a LONG winter. I hate snow.

I just wanted something, to break up that not so attractive ribbed area on the bumper.
So I got these:
Flexable LED strips
I cut about an inch off and stuck them in one of the recessed ares in the bumper ribs. I drilled a very small hole for the wire to pass through and tapped into the parking light wires.
These are great because they are black and my car is black so when they are off they are basically invisible. Not like all the other LED strips out there that are in a big clear gel track or in a bulky casing that looks like a giant reflector. This is a thin small strip that fits perfectly in the space in between the ribs and doesn't stand out or look cheesy. It's not super bright, they couldn't be used as driving lights, but as daytime running lights they work great. It definitely makes the cheap boring LS/Base bumper look more interesting.

Nice. I've got a set of those lights, but in red. Put them on the black thing under the bumper. Looks like the truck led lights on some trucks. There is a pic on here somewhere. Might even be a few pages earlier in this thread.
