The Before and After Thread

This thread is dedicated to all those who went down the "rabbit hole". This was my jitney in the beginning and now at the end. Of course we all know that there's never an end. Post your before and after photos.

You have a keen eye ! Those were the original Sportec one piece forged mono 10's that 3T Motorsport used to import. I was able to get my hands on one of the last sets before Sportec re-organized and discontinued them. They were phenomenal wheels. Interestingly, I also had a set of the current mono 10 as well. Frankly, I don't think that they compare to the originals. BBS now makes the mono 10 for Sportec, and they are no longer a forged design. But, rather, they utilize a "flow form" process. I've since sold both sets.

Johhny D. Both photos are sweet. Very nice job and each is impressive. I too like the first photo but i think its because of those wheels. Love the additions to the new one. Once I get the "hidden" mods done on mine I will do some visuals as well.

Haha...me too. I like the OEM Aerokit II bodykits, but personally, I think Danger's kit is a bit over the top. To each his own though.

Before:


After: I'm going to install OEM Aerokit 1 sideskirts soon though.

Anyone know what wheels are on the red car?? Those are seriously the sickest black wheels I've seen yet, love the no lip look. Also, is the silver car Aero kit II ?
