i will gladly help! ive been curious about how those will look ever since you wanted them way back.
help me find work lips haha im about to take apart my wheels and get bigger lips for the 8s, repolish all the lips and paint the faces candy white. probably going to leave the bolts silver for now or i might polish them.

[ripNdip]

wheel rebuild and refinish coming soon...

Untitled by ripNdipMKVI, on Flickr

i gotta go back tomorrow when some more candy white comes in and i found someone with 2.5" lips so im buying those really soon also. im finally getting around to painting my drums and brakes black too.

[itskohler]

[ripNdip]

well the candy white paint didnt end up coming in so i had my friend who works at advance auto order me some. once i get my paycheck i will be ordering the 2.5" lips and starting on my wheels. i worked a 40 hour week and i cant wait to turn 18 so i can work some more hours before i leave for college august 18th.im getting a test pipe next, probably USP since i havnt really heard much about the RAI one. Going catless since its cheaper and i dont have to worry about emissions or inspections since i work at a dealership and know most of the techs
im also trying to save up for the votex kit but its so damn expensive so i dont see that happening for awhile.

my friend chris and i went out on thursday and he did a shoot on my car for a feature on his website www.primo-lifestyle.com

Untitled by ripNdipMKVI, on Flickr
we shot at a couple other spots too but instead of posting my crappy iphone pictures of them im going to make you guys wait for the real ones

[ripNdip]

new lips came today

Untitled by ripNdipMKVI, on Flickr
now time to take apart my wheels and get to work

also took a few more pictures for my feature. this time some night shots using alien bee lights


Untitled by ripNdipMKVI, on Flickr

i decided to hold off on the votex kit for now but im going to be getting a USP test pipe and fog lights soon.

[xHoldenMcNeilx]

haha i got them lights

[DFWSKATE]

Too raw son!

Don't get the votex kit. No one likes a lip low car, right DJ?

[xHoldenMcNeilx]

hahaa oh he called you out

better choke a chic

[ripNdip]

hahaha. i had my heart set on getting the votex kit but after seeing the pictures of my car for the feature i like the way the front bumper looks without it and i would rather spend my money on other parts now.
i probaby wont order the test pipe and fog lights until right before i come home for a break so i can use a lift at my work and install the test pipe. also gives me time to decide on getting either the same white nokya bulbs that are in my low beams or getting yellow ones for my fogs...

[pattrick02]

alienbees! i want some!
