IMO it all looks kind of gaudy. I'm gonna try not to come off like a d!ck but it looks like you threw that stuff on there just to say you have 20s with chrome shtuff and not thinking of what would really flow with the car.

Thanks AJ I will let them know that you said that..

as for Fred's car.. he is all about riding high in his chevy on dubs so lowering it would go against what he wants...

personally his car isnt my style but it also isnt my car and if you see it in person you can tell that he takes pride in it and tries very hard to keep it clean which is very hard considering the work he does (building fountains)... the only thing performance about his car is some PCM work that I did when he came out to Decatur for a car meet..

Ajaxus · 02-11-2007, 06:23 PM

ah, see around here all the guys on dubs lower as far as they can, that's what i'm used to seeing.

AaronGTR · 02-11-2007, 07:04 PM

Yeah, I got nothing against BU's... I just think 20" chrome rims look ghetto and stupid on n-body's. Here's an example of what I think is an extremely nice malibu. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/821912 Now granted, he does have 20's on it now, and personally I liked the 19's he had on it before better, but they are still a better looking wheel and match better with the other mods and overall scheme of the car.

phyberoptix · 02-11-2007, 07:34 PM

OT: This thread makes me wonder if the phrase "cup of tea" os really relevant today... I drink green tea, but I have a feeling most people who say it dont... why not say "it's not my mug o' beer" or something like that?

See, in NC "certain" people think it's cool to either S-10 spindles or just a lift kit on any year crown victoria or caprice classic and put 24's/26's on it. Looks freaking retarded. But I think if that Malibu was mine, I would take off the chrome pillars, get rid of the "dubs" and get a nice open wheel set of color matched 18's and take the money saved from downgrading the size of the rims and get a very good tint job. Just my $0.02.

Why are cars called whips now?!?! I dont get it at all.

Not my cup of vodka. Id get tint before I went with the chrome pillars for sure.
