Anyone know how this looks on a TA? Like a picture? I was thinking of doing this to my TA.
the problem is the cxar is parked between cars most of the time.. at my job, its parked 9 hours out side of the store, i live on some apartments, the guy next to me parks so close to me, and hes tall and fat!Quote:

In most cases the molding doesn't help much.
ill try to get my car out of that parking spot i have, cuz both of the casr are big cars too.. its an expediton on the left. and a van on the right side, so the best thing is get another place. plus the springlers messed up the paint on my car..Quote:

Wow badaas man.
What rims are those?
Looks killer.
Use some WD40 on a rag to get the dried residue/dirt off.
Then wash that spot/side right after.
I will do that once I can get my car started and backed up into the driveway.Quote:

Nice rims but its time to spring for some black chrome lugs;)
I have chrome ones but a few of them stripped, 5 of them when I was trying to put them on for some reason.Quote:

Few days ago I went to see some similar to those. But they didn't have offset for my car.
They were the same rims but the center was silver.
I wanted to go 20s on the Back and 18s on the front. They only come on those sizes.
I saw some 18s of these wheels on ebay. Not sure if the offset is right but I have seen them. But anyways back on topic.....now that I have done it I definitely suggest you do it :lol:Quote:

I'll have to check those out. I know but something I can use in the garage so I don't have to spray off the soap. As my car won't start atm. I couldn't just wipe it off afterwards and wax it could I? I have this waterless carwash stuff but I don't know how it would react with wd-40, like I am not sure if it will take the wd-40 off.Quote:

Ah good idea, I'll try that once I find my wet dry vac incase I flood it lol.Quote:

Ah cool. I wanted to do something you don't really see on many TAs. Most people who see it are like "WOW that's cool!"Quote:
