I am going back in the other direction though. Driving more than 50% in your “not as nice car” seems like a waste. X… ---

Rear panel delete, exhaust, CF diffuser and tow hook installed… kinda did my own thing w/ the hook… Pics kinda stink but it looks BURLY AS FUCK. I love the rear panel delete!!! Also, all the fasterners for the rear diffuser were replaced w/ 1/4 turn fasteners for quick removal! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/exige18.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/exige18.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/exige19.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/exige19.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/exige20.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/exige20.jpg) ---

Looks awesome. What size rims are on that? They look like eighteen inch. They look huge but it could just be the wheel proportion of the car height. How tall is the car? EDIT: It may be the Black Rim/Tire combo. Have you thought about breaking it up? I actually like the polished lip on my black wheels for this reason.
