curb feelers?

if so, lul.

More like this: Rimblades Alloy Wheel Rim Protectors | Rimblades

Edit: I've actually already got them on, but can't decide if it cheapens my car or not. Too dark for pictures atm.

They remind me of vinyl over furniture or pocket protectors

At the end of the day, it depends on whether you're dressing up your vehicle for yourself, or for other people. If you like it, keep it. If you find people are giving you grief for it, and you care, then take it off. I won't say other people's opinion don't matter, especially if they're being verbal about it. Why not just leave it on, and see if you get positive vs. negative comments from the average Joe, rather than try your luck with an obviously heavily opinionated group of car aesthetic connoisseurs?

Looks tacky IMO -- why not just take an extra 2 seconds when parking and angle your passenger mirror down?

That's what I do -- been curb free for the most part (aside from when my mom borrows my car :facepalm: )

I'm not afraid of curbing it, I just like the red outer lip lol :>.

I'll post up a picture in a bit.

@i_like_cats I know where you're coming from, but I figured if the haters didn't hate as much, it'd be alright lol.

my wifes bagged 2012 Turbo Beetle - StanceWorks

That's actually clean and is going with a certain theme. The PT, while it may be going for a similar theme, missed the mark by slapping a bunch of ugly chrome shit and mishmash at it.

question!

is there a local retailer for this?

when the time comes to change tires, will these have to come off? same goes for wheel alignments because the sensors have to clamp on to the wheel lip to get a reading...

Strong logic, because honestly, who the fuck would steal that?

GLOW 09-27-2013 09:51 AM

parks on the road, goes in and leaves his doors open like that? :suspicious:

FerrariEnzo 09-27-2013 10:38 AM

maybe he wants it stolen on purpose because no one wants to buy it and then claim it from ICBC!

inv4zn 09-27-2013 11:36 AM

How the hell does he see at night?

SpeedStars 09-27-2013 12:25 PM

Spoiler!


scissor doors can be practical in tight parking lots. lol

Grim 09-27-2013 01:09 PM

^ im sure those scissor doors cost more than his car lol

imp_squared 09-27-2013 01:17 PM

I think it's just hinges you need to buy to convert your doors into scissor doors.
the movement of the doors is out away from the car a little, then up.

Yeah; it's just the hinges in most cases. One of my classmates at BCIT had a pretty nice looking showcar tier CSX with scissor doors (probably the only thing I didn't like about it), you just reinstall the stock doors but with new hinges that open out slightly then upward.
