I guess this is a fitting thread for my first post. Picked up a 2003 C4S in Houston last week and haven't stopped smiling since

Outstanding. the wheels are interesting and look good. you might want to think about switching the side markers to clear. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I've enjoyed mine. The car is a daily driver for me, and it's always a kick. And there's a twin turbo set-up on this thread by "boochook" you might also enjoy thinking about. Cheers,

Like the wheels!

I really like your wheels. I think Im sold on getting my wheels painted since new wheels are out of the question with a house in escrow and our 2 year old baby. Thank you for sharing your pictures.

I actually wondered about this some time ago. It seemed to be a fad to change to the clear look several years ago. I just liked the clear look on the silver or grey cars. Personal preference thing I guess. Cheers....

I changed mine because it simply just looks better.

Funny if you look in Japanese magazines as they try to do the opposite over there since a lot of cars come with clear lenses, they try to get the orange lenses instead.
