Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX (update - 9/14/2011) Post by: B.R.03EX on September 14, 2011, 12:18:54 PM Retrofit update. I finally got something done! ;D
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX (update - 9/14/2011) Post by: timot_one on September 14, 2011, 02:17:01 PM Nice man. A soon as I get my ride on the road again, we'll have to hang out.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX (update - 9/14/2011) Post by: Armyguy239 on September 14, 2011, 08:16:21 PM nice retro bro, i just pdated my profile too, take a look
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX (update - 9/14/2011) Post by: B.R.03EX on September 14, 2011, 11:53:43 PM Nice man. A soon as I get my ride on the road again, we'll have to hang out. Yeah for sure! I would love to see that thing! Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX (update - 9/14/2011) Post by: timot_one on September 15, 2011, 01:00:22 AM Shit, I'd love to drive it again.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX (update - 9/14/2011) Post by: B.R.03EX on November 01, 2011, 12:55:15 PM OP cleaned up and updated.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX (update - 9/14/2011) Post by: B.R.03EX on January 11, 2012, 09:59:51 PM Updated a little bit, nothing special. Found a set of wheels that hopefully I'll be buying in the next week or so if nothing falls through. Drag DR-38's 18x8 +35 in the gunmetal color. A guy on craigslist is selling a set for $300. We've e-mailed back and forth a few times and I think I'm going to go pick them up. Just have to drive to Indiana to get them.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: timot_one on January 11, 2012, 11:02:04 PM I like the design of the Drag's. Do they have the same quality issues as Rota's though? Lemme know when you're going to IN. If it's a day that I'm not working, I'll ride with you.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: B.R.03EX on January 11, 2012, 11:26:32 PM Yeah I was wondering about that as well. From what I've heard, the qualitly is good for a cheap wheel but definitely not something you would want to go to the track with. I wish I could just get the real ones but Enkei GTC01's cost more for just one wheel than this entire set does. The guy did take good care of them though, they look almost brand new:
(http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t268/tibies/wheels3.jpg) The size and color are perfect but not the brand. Ehh, I don't know. I should probably wait it out and go with an Enkei wheel. I would love to find a set of EKM3's. If I do decide to pick these up, i'll shoot you a text Tim. Definitely wouldn't want to go by my self. Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: timot_one on January 11, 2012, 11:56:22 PM Yeah man. Lemme know if you scoop them up. I'm totally up for a road trip. I'll text you the days off that I have coming up. Where in IN are they anyway?
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: B.R.03EX on January 12, 2012, 12:05:31 AM Alright cool, sounds good. I'm waiting on a reply back for a more pin point location. On the post all it says is southwest Indy.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: B.R.03EX on September 21, 2012, 01:28:00 AM Just a boring update. I need to wash her and take some real pictures.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: timot_one on September 21, 2012, 01:57:53 AM Come over to my place. I have a good camera and a bunch of detailing stuff.
Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: Milan on January 08, 2013, 07:38:27 PM I liked those Drags, especially for the price. I'm guessing you didn't pick them up.
Do you have anymore pictures of the 06-07 rear lip? Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: B.R.03EX on January 08, 2013, 11:35:45 PM I actually did buy them. I ended up selling the wheels before I ever put tires on. I liked them but I was a little concerned about the quality. I'd rather save up and get real wheels.
Yes I do. I don't have any close ups of the horrible gap between the lip and bumper though. Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: Milan on January 09, 2013, 12:49:42 PM I don't have any close ups of the horrible gap between the lip and bumper though. Hmm...yeah, that's what I wanted know...how the fit was. Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: B.R.03EX on January 09, 2013, 02:34:03 PM Here, i just took a few of the gap:

Honestly, it shouldn't be too hard to get the fit right, I've just been too lazy to do anything about it. I'll get around to it eventually. Title: Re: [Profile] B.R.03EX Post by: B.R.03EX on August 17, 2013, 02:51:15 PM Not really an update but I did finally pull the trigger on a new camera. I'm still learning how to use it and edit pictures but I think these turned out alright..
