What's the offset? And please pull those rear fenders, I don't want to see 205s on 9s on your car Blake, I think it will hurt the clean look quite a bit.

Re: Goldmember: Yes, my car is Gold not Beige

Seems this isn't the summer for me. Walked out of my class today to see this, assuming it had happened in the parking lot, only to find out that my mom had backed into me leaving for work this morning for the THIRD time. Once I'm done fixing my truck, the car is going up early. I'm also pretty sure it's coming off of DD status completely, I care about it too much to let it be a punching bag for other people's stupidity; even my mothers.

At least thats a simple fix. Its hard to tell, but that big dark spot is that missing paint?

Think positive, it's a good source of motivation to pull the trigger on a Saloon rear ;)

I'd love one, but there's no cheap way to get one here.
There are ways. If you want one bad enough, you'll figure it out.

Re: Goldmember: Yes, my car is Gold not Beige

I've been trying for months.. I have a family in the UK, Poland, and family friends in Germany and saloon's just aren't as common even in junkyards. I've been scouring eBay as well too, found a few, but no one wants to ship for less than 700 euros..
