Sometimes the simplest answers are right under your nose. It took me months to figure out how to get them on. What do you think?

Thanks for the replies guys. Now for my next question: Paint them black, or leave them?

I wouldn't go black until you painted the grill.

Then the sports car black wouldn' clash with the family sedan chrome.

Though I looked again, did you paint the center of the grill already? imo, body color grille = sport

the center of the grille was already black, but i painted the emblem black myself. I would like to paint the rest of the grille black, but i dont know how to get it off the car. The emblem just popped right off, the chrome part of the grille i think is attatched pretty well.

grill's aren't too tough. A couple screws on the top the a bunch of clips like the below image. Just have to push the center of the clip till it lines up with the hole and pops out.

Me likes. Agree, lower it some. Not sure what would look better, black or a dark gunmetal like grey.

Thats the magic of a simple five spoke wheels, they make every car look like a sports car.

I will be lowering it as soon as i have enough time and money (my friend is selling me coilovers for $50, let's hope they fit on my baby). I will also be getting the wheels painted black professionally for about $400 (ouch). Again, money is the key factor here. And no, i am not getting them powder coated.
