Re: lip opinions

Re: lip opinions
Paradise green lip and take the ITR springs out, sack it

How big are the wheels??
A bit weird but what would a championship white lip look like?? It would be very different but its hard to picture it in my head

Yea im just weighing up my options and paradise green is definitely on the list.
Yep it will be lowered again in good time. suspension was next but these wheels came up at a good price so couldnt say no

Theyre 17's btw.

Maybe a poll may be in order.

Re: lip opinions
If you are thinking of doing a C/F front lip, I'd go red on the wheels.

If the skirts are going to be painted eventually, I'd go the PG on the wheels.

yep the skirts will be painted eventually so it looks like the popular choice so far it the paradise green lip.
