thanx guysi've been a fan of gunmetal/chrome wheels ever since i first saw them on a 911. this was the first opportunity to pyt them on a car that i owned, so i jumped at the chancetcam, got the s-techs in november. so lets see...1.5-2"pyscho...yeah! i lucked out with the rocker panels. i didn't even notice them until i started seeing vibes on the street without them!

The rockers are the lip below the doors. Alot of people like them around here. I think that they look ok on a two tone, but I really dont care for them on a monotone. I think that they look kind of outta place, as they do not follow the same curvature as the front and rear bumpers.

Ok, be secretive. Looking at the pic of the front end with the lights on at night, they don't look like angel eyes. I think I know what you or Todd did.

I was wondering how the ride was on those stechs? Still using stock shocks? and how about getting over speedbumps/up driveways? I'm stuck between those and htechs.

I'm stuck between those and htechs.i live in chicago. potholes AND speed bumps. no problems. no rubbing on turns either.i believe the htechs don't lower the car as much as the stech, but not sure by how much.whichever way you go, you can't go wrong. both handle well
