Don't like the rims....Bumblebee's gone ghetto.

Love the hood!

Like the front bumper.

Where's mine already!!!

*GTAHVIT* · 06-12-2008, 12:48 PM

I like the hood. Wheels and front valance is

I think it's funny that everyone thinks the rims are ghetto/ricer/whatever...

They bear a strong resemblance to the Concept Convertibles rims!

*GTAHVIT* · 06-12-2008, 01:12 PM

I've never been a fan of painted rims... (and I feel real dumb for thinking they were clear) I know I know, put the crack pipe down...

But the front valance is too european for me. It's American Muscle not a ferrari. fwiw

Yeah, that spoiler is just waiting to grab a curb. If it's functional, I can live with it, just please keep it high and tight!

I'm with you 100%. Oversized wheels don't belong on muscle cars. I want the tires to have some meat on them and not looking like a stretched rubber band.

The SMS Challenger has a big lip spoiler and giant black fog light openings as well. Could this be a SMS car?

I love the front fascia on this body kit. Those rims are glorious. A flashy color + black details is always a good combo in my book. Does this color look a little more orangish than the last bumblebee or is it just me?

I could not agree more. I think the wheels look fantastic. The wheel and tire combo fill the wheel well perfectly and really set off the stance and overall presence of the car.

You effing ROCK, GM

+1 on the black rims -1 on disliking chrome rims

camarokidz28 · 06-12-2008, 03:12 PM

the front spilter looks good I sort of like the new rims if they were a bit smaler but is that a new car or is that the same car from the the first movie but I thank that that the reason for the spilter and the new wheels it could be the romerd saleen camaro that Steve saleen talked about back in 2006 what do yall thank (and is it me or is the spoiler rear deck spoiler a littel bit bigger)

TheMadHatter99 · 06-12-2008, 03:26 PM

I too am not big on these rims, but I'm finding the new front fascia and hood oddly appealing. I like the more aggressive look a lot.
