My Northern VA Smurf

[jdhiatt]

My name is Josh and I drive a 2010 CBM Speed 3. My car is currently in winter mode and looks like dook but below are a few photos. Some of you know I have had a fitted Tiburon and here it is.....



Got rid of it for something new and a bit quicker.

I havnt posted it up in here yet as it is in winter mode and is Dook Status. Here are a few pictures anyways just for you all to see how it sits.





I'm thinking about buying a set of Rotiform NUE's (18x9.5 et25) but I don't know how it will look. I plan on them being PC'd White possibly with flake but I don't know yet. If anyone would not mind doing a quick photoshop that would be AMAZING.

Thoughts?

oh heyyyy Josh haha

[OSSHWA]

Glad you finally decided to join us Josh! :P

I personally some white NUE's would look sick. NUE's + more lowz = jawsome!

[rgz]

Looks awesome, love the tails. What exhaust is that?

[Wastegate13]

Better not post that over on MSF or risk being kicked out of the cool kids club. Member bigblazer here is rocking that fitment of the NUE on his genjuan.

Also liking the tails. I want to go completely red but fearing what would happen with the reverse lights and the po-po. I've debated leaving a little un-tinted "window" portion on the back up lights but I feel like that would detract from the whole smooth all-red look I'm going for in the first place.

Ay Yo whats up man. You working tonight?

Yes....I'm glad I go that opinion out of you. My wife actually likes them. She hates the 521's on there. I totaled it up and it should be about 1600 after the Powdercoating unless I can find another set around. For the low...I plan on going with the BC Racing BR coils and the SPC Camber arms to take care of the camber.

Thanks man. I'm in winter mode right now and I can't stand it. It's my DD so I can only do but so much atm. The exhaust is a custom 3 inch cat back with no resonator or mufflers. I had some magnaflow single wall tips put on for a more "stock" look. Here is a video or two of how it sounds..

Yea I know. You can't really get to far into fitment without wearing a flame suit over there. It's crazy how much the majority of the population hates fitment. IDC though...I love this ish!

I have yet to have any problems with the Po-Po about my tail lights. The one time I have gotten pulled over they never said a word about it. DO IT!!!! ^.^

This is such a great look for a speed 3.
What did you use to paint the tires? Did you do any special prep?

Thanks man! I definitely love the look as well. Some minor changes will be coming soon and my winter (speed6 wheels) will be happening within the next month or so. For the tire paint I did do some prep work. I used purple power to get off any residual grime and what not off the tire before applying the paint. It was easy peasy though.
