Rally Red with Rota gunmetal grids

For those who wanted to see how it looks.

Dropped on KW V3, wrapped with 265/35/18 Nitto Invo.

No rubbing, no fender modification.

Thanks to Dan at Wheeldude for the great customer service and fast shipping.

Thanks to Izzy for the pics.

Centercaps will be installed once it comes in...

bad *** up side down devil marks! Seriously, this cars stance looks wicked. Lower that sucker some more and show off those ROTA center caps and be a proud pinoy.

real sweet. They're my new favorite wheels and the ones I'll be putting on my IX. I've been tempted to get them powdercoated Blue. Thought it would look nice with the Tarmac Black.

they are OEM window visors. Install is a breeze. takes about 20-30 mins

Why Rota's? ...1. Considering the price, 2. I want how it looks (concave) 3. Color-i'm sold to gunmetal. 3. Wifey is gonna smack me if I spend another 3K for mods (never did use credit card for mods..always cash), cant hide it. 4. The whole family is flying to the Philippines to spend my daughter's first birthday over there (Round trip ticket for 2 adults and 2 kids costs 2800).

Thats why the Rota's....for now.

2) The way they try to make it more concave makes it look kind of funny.

Overall the car looks great. I'm also rocking RR with gunmetal, but not Rota

Com'on Mark, you don't have to explain yourself to the evo community, it's ok! No one is flamming you for getting ROTA's (LOL).

Easy, the hardest part is pulling out the upper part of the rubber window seal. But Mark claims you did not have to do that. But I did.

Great job on your RR. I'm still hesitant to make that jump to the RA tails.... I guess I'm fooling myself into being convinced that I should wait for better L.E.D.s than the ones that are out.
