In addition, people who've modded their cars should not be concerned with what other people think.? It's a very personal thing to mod your car.? Who cares if someone else likes it or doesn't like it.? You did it because YOU like it.? And another thing, the price of an accessory for your car should have no relevance whatsoever.? Telling someone they have cheap wheels is just immature.? You make yourself look so childish.? I personally think both cars look great.? Who cares about anything else.? The longer this nonsense goes on, the worse you both look.? By the way, where are the moderators on this board anyway?

[/quote]lol... let's just be clear.
1. you are gay.
2. i already had a 3
3. my 5 is not stripped down
4. people used to get navi because of the nice screen which now is standard with iDrive, i live in miami and know everything around me. lol @ needing a navi.
5. i dont have a sports or premium package because I chose to get it like this, not because I can't afford it.
6. this goes back to 5, I PAY PEANUTS for my car and you and 90% of this board will hate me if I disclose a monthly payment.
7. this also goes back to 5, my choice is my choice because i don't NEED any of that and choose to make my investment elsewhere, which in turn has worked out well.
8. i originally got HRE wheels but with a mixup in my order and 2 months later, I came accross a deal with these wheels which you will continue to hate on.
9. i will end this like it should. i understand you regret purchasing your chrome blades that rub, but don't take it out on me :winkcool:

[/quote]are these the 9 thinks you keep telling yourself in order to get past the fact that you bought a stripped down piece of shit, and can't afford anything else. Hey, whatever works man!!

ultra sound you seem to have a lot of bs...... if u wanna get all technical.... why dont you have a 545.... if im not mistaken u got the stripped down engine.. your wheels are exactly the same as his in quality and price so u really have NOTHING to say and probably should do so (say nothing)
his car is hot face the facts... ur car is nice too why are u bitching
Arby 545

Are you sure they are Original H&R Springs, or did you save money there too? and cut/heat the ones on the car?

My Kumho tires for my SUV cost $500/tire.[snapback]114931[/snapback]
[/quote]you are right, for a 26" rim, Kumho tires are one of the only ones out. But on a 20" you got a whole lot more to choose from.
