I'm going to break this response into 4 parts.
1. I never once got upset about anything said on this forum, but I'm not one to sit there and shut up when people have shit to say about me. I can throw insults just as good as the next guy. If that makes me an easy target, so be it.
2. Talking trash? No sir thats where you are wrong. People talk trash to me, I step up to the plate, then I hear excuses.. I havent backed down, if anyone wants some they can come get it. Its not like i havent been out in the supra, plenty of people on here have seen it go. fubar and flybye have driven it.
3.As far as "insulting the mods" excuse me for stating this, but it seems like some of the mods dont act like moderators. Are you going to disagree with me on that point? I'd also like to state if they cant handle a simple comment from a noob like myself I feel bad for them.
All that being said, I feel that with 4 pages of responses and only 1 person willing to edit a photo, this thread has ran its course, feel free to lock it up.
The color of the car will be the same, just shinier.
I'm glad to see someone understands my subtle tastes.
Oh, youre one of those. toyota wheels belong on toyotas, nissan wheels belong on nissans. rumor has it there is a super low golf around here that has jeep wheels on it. OH NO! I personally dont see the problem with mixing brands around.
The fact is, sawblades look like shit even if theyre painted. Its like painting the hubcaps on a cavalier, it looks like crap IMO. As far as the volks, they needed refinished. They were pitted, one was bent, and they were completely the wrong offset for the car, not to mention they were ugly, so that's why they are gone.
As far as the body work is concerned, I know how to do body work and paint, I wouldn't have undertaken this car as a project if I didn't have the knowledge or the tools to fix it. The only issue doing the body work now, is I dont have the luxury of a huge heated shop to work in, only a nice cold garage. As far as prep work goes, it's best done at temperatures above 60°F.
In summary, Its my car, and I know what my plans and goals are for the car. These rims are the rims I wanted to put on the car, and I found them at a deal i couldnt pass up. So you're saying i should have told the seller to wait to sell them to me so i could wait for the weather to be warmer and start on body work? It doesn't work that way. The purchase made sense to me, but i guess it all comes back to the fact you cant see crossing brands on vehicles as justifiable. when you go out and buy dc shoes does that mean you buy pants, socks, underwear, shirts, a hoodie, and a hat to match? or do you think maybe you can look good in a different brand of jeans? just wondering.
Shane as I stated before, haters are everywhere. I'm not bothered by it, afterall, this is the internet, people are on here to gain the courage to say shit they can only say behind a keyboard. I troll on the internet too, I can't stay mad at them. I appreciate the compliments, but they will probably troll on you now for driving, riding in, or even generally being around my supra.
