Another V8 with 18's
Had I known we were going to post V8's with 18's, I would have thrown my hat into the ring a long time ago. :-) The car is my wife's 91' 5 speed, with CAC smoked front's and rear's and smoked fender markers from Blau. The wheels are 18x9 Enkei LM1's with 245/40 rubber. I am VERY pleased with the way it turned out. Window's get tinted next week and hopefully a CAC Evo spolier soon....please.
Pics are pretty low res., but it's all I got.

& Pauls clear turn signals.

Wow, very nice and it's a 5spd. Grrr!! I wish you guy's
would stop posting these beautiful pictures of V8's!!! It's making me want to start shopping for one again as that's what I originally wanted. My 5K is mint but now that it's all said and done I wish I had spent all this time and $$ on making a V8 perfect. <<Sigh>>

Yeah, I guess you can play too....
...I ran 17's on the car for several years and swore that I would never go to 18's because of the dirt road we live on. Well, Discount Tire ran the wheels through in an Ebay auction and the price was so low, I had to do it. Otherwise, I'd be running 17's too.
As for H/L wiper trim, the Pearl was so beat up that I just thought I would give Black a try. I kinda like it. It seems to "Frame" the headlights out nicely. I'll probably go back to Pearl at some point though....maybe when I paint my Evo rear spoiler......damn it, when are those things going to be done!!!

GTS>5spd:) but
I don't use it for a daily driver. A V8 5spd is the next best thing! I looked at a 91 V8 5spd in Iowa a few years ago and tried to buy it but we couldn't come to terms. I still made an offer but wouldn't go any higher as the car needed lot's of reconditioning and had a bad Carfax report. I probably should have bought it anyway since they are so rare but apparently I was in a stubborn mood that day. To this day I always think how nice the V8 would look next to the GTS in the garage. It's a good thing my 5K doesn't have Internet access, she'd be really upset reading this!

Me likey 5spd GTS's.....
it wouldn't happen to be Maritime Blue would it? My first drive in a GTS was a Maritime Blue 5 speed and I wanted it in the worst way! I have never seen another one like it. I still do a regular search for GTS's on Ebay, just to dream.....so, wanna swap? :-)
I have tried to talk the wife into something other than the V8 as recently as last month, but she loves the car and sees no need for something else. Who am I to argue?! It is a great daily driver, but at 8500ft above sea level, a stock 10vt 5k/200 will walk it. She doesn't care though, it looks good and it sounds good, and she drives the speed limit everywhere she goes.
