Default New shoes for the 850

I've been rolling on 15" steelies with hubcaps since I bought it. Found these on a volvo site I post on for 250 shipped with tires. They even came with Potenza S0-3's with rubber still left on them! Saaweeet! Got them friday and painted them today with Dupli-color graphite rim paint. I love this stuff. Works great and sticks really good. I just degreased them and washed them up with a scrubby pad I snatched from work. Oh I nabbed the degreaser too...don't tell. :P All in all they came out pretty good. A couple of bubbles but ehh this is just my daily driver since I have the Z too. I just realized while painting the wheels that both of my cars have the same color scheme. I didn't even think of this before and didn't mean to do this. I'm not doing too much to this since parts for these things are kinda pricey compared to honda's and it's my daily driver too. Just bought a K&N drop in filter and maybe some springs and thats it. The Z has a bunch of parts I have to install but I'm just being lazy and I hate installing suspension ----.

's a before and after.

I've got two rhb5's coming in the mail and a header for the z and a mig welder... yeah they aren't the biggest but would spool up pretty fast. Don't worry I have Tokico Illumina shocks and springs waiting to go on. It rides like a caddy right now since it still has the stock 75 shocks and springs which are all shot.

I have a new front spoiler and ZG fender flares for the Z also. So much stuff and a lazy *** owner=car sits next to a pile of parts waiting to go on :P I still have my workbench I got for x-mas in the box still in my garage waiting to be put together. Damn HMT got me sitting on my *** in front of the puter and getting nothing done. SO...AAADDDICCCTTTTIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG.
