Smile Modded P5 pics?

Anyone who has a modded P5 (rims at the very least, please! =), please post your pictures (or links to pictures) here. I've been searching and searching, but I keep seeing stock P5 after stock P5 after stock P5. Help a man out! I'm trying to see what is possible w/ a P5 =)

Protege5girl, how does that magnaflow sound? That's exactly the system I have in mind. Just not sure how it would sound.

Where did you buy your intake?

Nice choice in wheels!!

Actually Thronhill (down the street for Richmond Hill..hehe). Your from TO???


About the magnaflow, its really LOUD!! I enjoy it on normal city driving, but as soon as you hit the highways, you gotta crank the music....its a nice deep sound though...i like it...

**Intake was bought at Avante Mazda

Thanks for the reply (Protege5girl) about the Magnaflow. I kind of thought it would be on the loud side.

Are your wheels 17's or 18's? What shop did you buy them from?
They appear to Motegi's...I have one of their over styles in mind.

Also like the contrast of the gun metal wheels with silver car.

They are Motegi Mr4s. 17's (car is lowered). Offset is way off. I can't have any passengers in the car or else it rubs.

Make sure you get an offset of +45 - +48 with the p5. (espeically if your car is lowered!!!)

Which Motegis are you looking at?

I'm considering the Motegi MR7 or MR12s in gun metal...probably 17's as well. I don't have lowering springs yet. I'll probably get wheels first and see how it looks.
Yeah, I'm totally aware of the proper offset...I have read a lot of postings in the wheel forum.
So what happened? Why didn't you buy wheels with the right offset?
Why not try and sell them while there worth some money?

What type of lowering springs do you have?

wheels

Well, I liked the wheels, and there aren't too many choices out with wheels that come in +45 - +48 offsets. I figured I would roll the fenders or machine the rims. Just haven't gotten around to doing it just yet.

I have eibachs.

Cool! Your car looks very nice anyhow. I appreciate seeing a sliver one with gun metal finish wheels...gives me a good idea what I can expect.
Did you have any problems with your intake rubbing against the master cylinder? I was going to buy a Ractive until I read some of the postings.
It's either I buy the tubing from Performance Improvements and make my own or go with Ractive. Did you buy that cone filter separately?

I dunno about that I got some 17" Enkei RS6's on my Juggalo Wagon lowered on H&R sport springs, and the only rub I ever had was when a couple of fatasses sat in the back, and I took a corner or a bump real hard. I fixed that though with a simple roll job, and my offset is 38, no more rub. I gonna post some updated pics this weekend if the weather nice. I have made a few changes since this but anyway here's a pic.
