Just a couple of pics. First is of my car considering its reflection is a puddle, with the trees in the background thrown back before its greatness. The second is showing what is actually my second leather wheel cover from
Wheelskins. The first one didn't match my interior, so I got color samples and picked this one out instead. Black and charcoal, with red stitching to match my seats. I managed to get the stitching far more like a factory-look this time, with a baseball stitch. I'd recommend these covers to anyone with a bit of patience. Mine took a couple of hours to install.

Believe it or not, the ghey matts match my interior better than anything else I've seen -- so they're staying for a while.

I did. I believe the height is correct, so all I can figure is that the undersized tires and lack of body kit are making it look high.

Another shot of the cover, now that I have some daylight. I just noticed the the top portion is a bit uneven. I'll try to nudge it over to the left side a bit once it stretches and loosens up. I just love the feel of this thing too. You can tell it's not just another slip-over cover that came free with an oil change. It seems like it's part of the wheel, and like it belongs there.

why do you always insist on saying things like this? You realy make yourself out to be a stuck up, narrow minded tool....
ANYWAY... the cover actualy does look nice, you gotta get some tires of the right size though!
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

I also think that the majority of body kits ruin cars. People get a body kit simply to "get a body kit" without actually predicting what it will look like on the car. Lip kits and other things that add a nice tasteful look are much more practical and don't look like the big mouth billy bass special edition cavalier.
I pretty much agree with Dougal on this one. I've ruled out any full-blown body kit, because:
a) They instantly label you a teen punk -- at least they would in my redneck conservative retirement town. I'm gettting to old for that.
b) I'd probably tear most of it off while navigating the first good-sized curb or pothole. Hell, my driveway has a gutter that makes me slow to a crawl as it is.
c) As a rule, I think they're ugly.
I'm definitely keeping a lookout for some Z24 pieces or a lip kit. I just need money. Same story on the tires -- they look a bit odd, but I can't afford to replace them. So they can just keep looking odd until they wear out.

both of you make great points, and i like the direction you are taking your car!
My point wasnt so much to defend people who buy body kits, as much as it was to simply say that dougall seemed to generalize and be an a
ss about it.
I agree(hence me having a lip kit, not a body kit) with all of you on that! but some cars do look good with body kits, and some people do put thought into it and dont just hit ebay for a 150 dolar body kit and some 25 dolar coil overs lol.
On the other hand....you have other fingers.

No fair -- you get an extra inch of rubber on those 17" rims. I think your car might even be sitting a hair lower than mine too.
