My preferrence would be the top as well.

The chromies simply remind me too much of the 70's, 80's Cal-look VW scene in S. California that I lived through. I wasn't a big fan of them then either. I preferred the Centerlines! Wink

I prefer the bottom one only for the higher stance. Wink I'm just not a fan of lowered cars.

I agree that the wheels are, well, not very appealing. It would look great with originals.

Nice, it looks awesome now

At first I read that as "The day I brought her home from Iraq" and I was like How'd you pull that off? Very Happy
