Tails look good... why do you have to redo them?

also, when are we going to have the ontario meet??? winter is coming lol...

cavaliers60 · 10-07-2010, 12:14 AM

why couldn't you just leave them stock and purchase the rims..... It looks horrible in my opinion, but I hate all black rims to begin with.

I just don't like the look of an ALL BLACK car... I like my little bit of chrome.

Your entitled to your opinion, Its not all black yet! I like chrome too, but I had alloy rims.. didn't like them much as I've been seeing a lot of aleros around lately, when i get aftermarket rims they'll end up being chrome

I actually fixed the problem without having to redo them, but im down for a meet whenever, Just got fired from Toyota so lots of free time (I guess they knew i didn't like jap cars haha)

Sounds good. I'm a big fan of black cars with Chrome rims. Always been my kind of car. Just not entirely black.

I love the tails. If I did mine, I'd do them like that. You should paint your headlight bezels black too. I think it would look pretty cool.

I may just smoke the entire headlight after I get hid's, seen a lot of pickups and suv's with it done around here and they dont get hassled. I was extra bored last night and sprayed a bit of nightshade on my license plate covers so their just that little bit darker (still readable though as I had my plates ran at least 4 times today)

Tuesday night in a 20 minute drive my plates were ran 3 times..
Wednesday had them run 4 times in a little over an hour, cop even changed direction to follow me when I drove past the bank and he was pulling out to the right, he decided to pull out to the left after being halfway out.

Last week I had one follow me around the mall by my house, see which way I was going to turn and cut up the parking lot to get in front of me, stopped and held up traffic going the opposite way just so he could see who was driving the car (thru the windshield obviously)

it's probably because of your tint, tint law for toronto is 35% so obviously you are barely legal there, idk about its laws about tinted tails either...plus with it being totally murdered out they probably think you work for the mob

also...should revert the olds symbols on the center caps back to silver, would be a good offset

was thinking of doing the indentions in the middle of the spokes a silverish,
My fronts are 35% and my back are legal (5%) cuz we can have whatever we want on the back. Taillight law is brake lights must be visible from 150 - 200 feet, cant remember exact number. We have a special drug and gang enforcement unit in this area and they have cars and their drivers, any known associates, plates of other cars they're known to be in noted on file, so their probably just checking out my car as it changes so much and ends up looking like a new car to the area to them, For anyone from Toronto, its the same type of unit they use in Jane and Finch area.

I had my plates ran a lot in a silver 2005 pontiac sunfire with fishbowl windows and black steelie rims (can be seen in a picture on first page) lol.

We need to get that southern Ontario meet going! Weather is supposed to be nice for a little while!

I see you have crappy tire rotors, how are they holding up for you?

Now I understand why the cops are running your plates all the time... Peel - no deal.
I used to live 5 minutes from you - in Streetsville. Now I'm in North York.

Whats left of my front bumper...

While cleaning out the car, I found the original window sticker (among every service record up to the end of warranty)

hok666 · 11-10-2010, 04:18 PM

sorry dude that sucks, I love mine to much to have that happen. hopefully you get your moneys worth out of it and buy another one

Ttop191 · 11-10-2010, 04:53 PM

What The eff Happened?????

Mike The Canadian · 11-10-2010, 04:58 PM

na, I'd rather get the money from the insurance

Ttop, a 67 year old lady turned made a left turn on a red turn signal in front of me (i was entering the intersection at 70 km/h) and I t-boned her, no one was hurt thank god. Can see the side of her car below (its dented in about a foot and a half)

Mike thanks for asking, Im fine except for the anger I feel when I see the empty driveway. Just got home from the doctors and all they found was a possible pinched nerve on top part of my spine, a strained back and just general soreness but its only the first day, it'll probably get worse. He said I can go to work tomorrow if i want so i definitly will be.
