Is that a custom emblem or does it belong to a non-ford car? If it's legit, I'd probably just use the V6 part... Lol

I believe it belongs to the Hyundai Tiburon GT v6.. though I can say I never saw the emblem. I do like the V6 High Performance badge that goes with the Honeycomb grille.

I think maybe it's the fact the rims are the same size. Maybe I would like it if it were 18's on the back and 17's on the front? Just looks akward IMO.. sidenote did you get my PM 6er?

ewwwww....mixing sizes on a new edge

btw...what pm?

nm. You already responded to it.
But mixing the sizes would have given him the same stance w/o the love/hate relationship his fenders have with his front rims right now. :yes

I have rubbing issues with my cobra's but I think my shocks may be bad. Suspension is next on my list for work to be done after my exhaust which should be done this week hopefully. The car has 140k on it and it sat along time before I started bringing her back to life. I made a sharp turn yesterday to pull in a parking spot and the lips grooved the edge of my bumper. Guess it wont happen any more atleast... :/

@1slowv6, nice job cutting the springs, and good idea to paint them! I just cut my front 2 springs yesterday, but i only cut a coil off. I'm finishing it tomorrow hopefully (if weather permits haha)

also, my car has 05-09 bullit rims and im pretty sure the tires on it are bigger than stock. im not exactly sure what tire sizes mean, but mine said 245/45 zr17 99w. They rub a little bit when i turn the wheel ALL THE WAY (they did before i cut my springs too), but i was wondering if it would be a bad idea to cut another .5 coils off my fronts, and than just cut 1 off the back when i finish it tomorrow? do you guys think the rims/tires will be too big for that much of a drop? 1slowv6 did it, im just not sure how big his rims/tires are.

the tires are bigger, as in the sidewall is taller so the circumference is different making them not a great match. I'm sure that's what I read on a tech article on wheels and suspension in the articles section of the forum. Go check it out :D
