- What is going on, everybody?
Welcome back to another episode of From the Gallery,
where the rules are simple.
- Oh yeah. - You add your car
to the gallery, fitmentindustries.com/add.
There you go.
And shoot us an email, shop@fitmentindustries.com,
with subject line review my car.
Say, hey, I put my car in the gallery, here's a link for it.
I'd like-- - I put my car in the gallery.
- You making fun of 'em?
- No, I was making fun of you. - Oh, okay.
We'll add it to the massive Excel spreedsheet that we have
and we will slowly but surely get through it.
I am here with Dakota.
- Howdy.
- And.
- Arlyn.
So, Arlyn is one of our digital advertisers.
- Yup.
- He's kind of a real behind the scenes lad,
makes an appearance in some TikTok videos
every now and then.
- Oh, oh!
- [Gels] We got a TikTok now.
So check it out.
- Hell yeah.
- Yeah, we got four cars loaded up here.
Now before we go ahead and get into it,
don't forget to subscribe, wheels, tires, suspensions
fitmentindustries.com.
- Woo!
- Are we ready to get into it?
- Yeah. - Let's go!
- All right.
- Ah.
- All right, so.
First up, first car of the day.
No snakes.
1989 Honda Civic on some Volk CE28s.
- [Dakota] Oh okay.
- 15 by six and a half, plus 35,
- [Arlyn] Civic sizes.
- Achilles tires with some BC Racing coilovers.
So we got a nice little Honda Civic here.
Old school.
I absolutely love it, we got some Volk wheels on it.
This is Stephen, St3ph3rs, with the threes for the e's,
1989 Honda Civic.
- Threes for the e's.
No spacers on that,
we got a whole bunch of--
- [Dakota] Jesus!
- [Gels] We had a massive list,
bunch of carbon fiber goodies,
bunch of suspension stuff.
Looks like some interior stuff,
racing seats, harnesses.
Pretty much the whole frickin' nine yards here.
- [Arlyn] The works.
- [Gels] The works, so let's get into her a little bit here.
This one looks really good, I love the old school civics,
I especially love when
he kinda took it,
he kept it in the decade that it was supposed to be kept.
- Right, right.
- Like everything on it looks like from that era.
- Like period correct.
- Yeah, period correct which I absolutely love.
They've got the red seats in there,
not a whole lot of pictures of the interior.
But, he's got a nice like meaty setup on it.
Looks like he takes it the track every now and then.
Well actually probably a lot,
a lot of these pictures are on the track.
- [Arlyn] Yeah, yeah on the track brother.
- [Gels] Really good wheel and tire set up.
Coilovers, BC Racing.
It's a good choice too.
Yeah, looks like a nice solid track car that
looks period correct and I absolutely love it.
- The cool thing about having a Civic like this is your
wheels can go on your go-kart too, if you got a go-kart.
(laughs)
- 15 by sixes.
- No that's crazy how small they are,
I mean that's nice,
it's probably cheap tires and cheap wheels.
- Probably one of the smallest wheels that
we've seen on FTG.
- Yeah, no I absolutely love this thing and up here
in the Midwest there's no (bleep) way you're finding
a Civic like this.
- [Gels] Not in one piece.
- [Dakota] No, they are rusted.
I'll clap or just slam to the ground.
So to me this is actually like super, super cool to see.
Like this is how a Civic should be done.
- [Gels] And he kept like the pinstripe on the
side and everything, like it looks really good.
- [Dakota] I like his meaty aggressive kinda setup there.
I mean maybe could go on a little bit wider.
Maybe?
But I know with tracking and it and stuff like that
you don't wanna be rubbing.
The stance is really good.
And the carbon fiber hood looks good on there too.
And it looks like it's in freaking amazing shape.
- Absolutely.
- That's really cool to see.
I really like the car, cool.
- All right, Arlando.
Here's your time to shine.
- First time doing a car.
- A lot of these people don't know this,
but this was my first car was actually a 1990
red Honda Civic.
Four-speed manual.
- How much rust?
- Terrible.
Uh, it was literally falling apart.
- Knew it, I freaking knew it.
- You know what, that's what you get here in Wisconsin.
But, digging into the car here.
Like he was saying, you know,
looks really good in terms of the fact that it's so clean.
It looks very trackable.
Nice setup on it.
I love the wheels and how they kinda flow with the
body lines of the car.
I like his little parachute coming out of the,
where his exhaust should be coming out.
- Little parachute?
What are you talking about.
- It's like the pull cord you know?
A red pull cord.
- A tow strap?
- Are you talking about the tow strap?
- That's not no tow strap there.
- Parachute, poof.
(all laugh)
- Reach out behind him and pull on it.
- You gotta stop man.
Not a big fan of the red pinstripe on there,
I'm gonna be honest.
I would have preferred it be all black.
But you know that's okay.
- [Gels] All right, that's fair.
- Uh, yeah, big fan, big fan.
- All right so we ready to rate it?
- Yes.
- All right so, build quality,
type of fitment, all that kinda stuff goes
into consideration here.
Use your own personal judgment.
- Oh yeah, definitely,
a lot of personal judgment going on.
- A lot of personal judgment.
- All right, so one to 10, on three.
Ready?
- Sure.
- One, two, three.
- Eight. - Nine.
- Seven.
- What'd you give him?
- I waited.
- Nine, eight, and seven?
- Yeah.
- All right.
- It'll get there.
- All right.
It was because of the pinstripe wasn't it?
- The pinstripe killed me.
- Me it was the lack of snakes.
- Lack of snakes.
- Moving on to our second car of the day we got a 2009
Audi A4 so moving to the complete opposite side.
On some Radi8 R8T12s.
19 by 10, plus 42.
- [Arlyn] That's a little bit bigger than the Civic's.
- [Gels] A little bit.
One some Airlift Performance air suspension.
So Dakota, I will let you take this one off here.
- A4_James.
- James.
- Let's go James.
- No rubbing no scrubbing.
Fenders are pulled.
Trimming details, some sketchy pulled arches.
And then he has no front wheel spacers
and 10 millimeter rear spacers.
Details full lip skirts and rear diffuser kit
from Maxton Designs.
Tinted highlights and windows.
Custom boot build, not the best.
He says not the best, not me, all right.
- Oh, I was like--
(talking over one another)
His words.
That's what he put in.
- So, these Radi8s are some
interesting mother (bleep).
- Yes, to say the least.
- They kind of, they kind of look like the sink drain.
(all laugh)
You know like where your sink is.
- You got some garbage disposal wheels.
- Yeah, garbage disposal wheels.
That sounds bad.
I don't think they look bad.
Kinda looks like the drain in the shower.
- Its' like the machining and everything that goes into it.
'Cause like the design of the wheel isn't
anything that's like too crazy out there.
I mean it is a wild wheel but we do see some
other designs like that.
But I think it's literally because like the inside
of the barrel is black.
And then like the whole face is like machined down.
So you get like a lot of like contrast
and it looks like a two tone.
So I think that's what really kind of sets it off.
- So I actually, I like it,
I really like how it looks.
I love how it looks from the rear end,
just nice clean smooth.
It looks really freaking good.
I don't know how much else I would do to this car.
Just because of the look it's going for.
- It's clean and simple.
- Yeah.
He has the yellow headlights.
Eh, I mean it's a little pop of color when like the
whole thing is kinda a neutral color.
So I don't mind it.
Not my favorite thing.
But yeah, I think it looks pretty sweet.
Stance is really good.
- All right Arlyn what you think?
- Whoa!
Those wheels are wild.
- Garbage disposal wheels.
Shouldn't call them that.
- You ever flipped one of those on when there's
a fork in there?
Whoa.
- Ring a ding, ding.
- Tink, tink, tink, tink.
- [Cameraman] Let's put the fork in the garbage disposal.
Yeah.
Ting, ting, ting, ting, ting.
- [Arlyn] Uh, he's got a flamingo on this one.
- [Gels] Whoa, I didn't even see that.
- [Dakota] Let's go!
Back to the zoo baby.
- You already got an extra point up from where
he was gonna be.
Look at that.
Wow.
- I asked for a gorilla but I got a flamingo instead.
I can't be mad.
- I love the look of this car and it looks like
his fitment is pretty on par.
I just love these,
kinda like these Euro setups.
They can always pull off those crazy wheels
because they look great lowered and everything.
Overall, just looks really good.
- Yeah, I mean it does.
I love the wheel setup on here.
I think these, like the Audis and stuff like that,
and like the A4s all that kinda stuff.
They can pull off that clean simple look with a bit
of a wild wheel.
Like that's pretty much all of them
can really pull that off.
So I think he's doing it really well here.
You got the flamingo on top.
It's a good choice.
I'm not a huge fan of the yellow headlights personally.
Maybe if they were just a little bit lighter,
I think they're just a really dark shade of yellow.
That's a little bit too much of a contrast.
And then maybe if he did like the chrome delete
around the windows.
Just to kinda of black it out a little more.
But overall, I really like it.
I love the aero that he's got going on there.
I think it's just a nice subtle touch,
nothing too crazy.
But yeah.
- Looks good.
All right, ready to rate it?
- Yeah.
- All right, on three.
One, two, three.
Seven and a half.
- Eight. - Eight and a half.
- I did eight.
- All right, moving onto our third car today,
we are up to a 2011 Subaru WRX.
On some Avid1 AV27s,
18 by nine and a half, plus 38.
On some Federal 595 RS-Rs.
And some Airlift Performance air suspension.
Looks like a ton of carbon fiber stuff going on.
- [Dakota] Carbon fiber all the things.
- [Gels] This is theory_WRX's WRX, hatch.
Arlano, you wanna take her away here?
- This guy.
- Starting her off.
- Loves carbon fiber.
- Me too.
- I can tell.
He went for the hood,
he went for the fenders.
He went for the whole aero kit.
This guy wants to have that look that he is ready to race.
- [Dakota] What is going on in that bed?
- [Arlyn] And he's got some sweet window paint I'm assuming
on the back?
- [Dakota] That's stickers brother.
- [Arlyn] Is that a sticker?
- [Arlyn] There's no way that's stickers, dude.
- That's stickers.
- I gotta go back and.
- Why the hell would someone paint that on
their window Arlano?
- That looks like a, you know what,
it kinda looks like he's got some shading in there
like it could be window paint okay?
- Arlyn, I don't know about you.
- Dakota's not buying it.
- I don't know about you.
- [Arlyn] I love, he's got some Avid1s on there.
Beautiful.
Big wang, not a huge wang.
- [Dakota] No parachutes?
- [Arlyn] No parachutes this time.
- [Gels] No pull cords?
- They'll be there.
You know what he's hiding 'em this time around.
Love it, love it.
- All right Dakota, I'll let you take it.
- Let me check it out, so.
Yeah, I really like these Subaru WRX hatches.
They look good.
All the carbon on here looks really dope.
So, it is a busy car though.
There's a lot going on.
I think he does it pretty well.
I'm not a huge fan of the splitter rods on
this one specifically.
The Avid1s look really good on there and what's nice
about that setup with the Federals and Avid1s,
that's a really affordable setup.
You don't need much to get you know into this.
- After all that carbon, he's like (bleep).
(all laugh)
I need wheels dude.
- I might wait a little bit on the bulk of the works.
No but they look good.
And he pulled 'em off well.
The fitments good.
I'm kinda get over, I used to run 'em too,
those rear window vents that are for the track.
- [Gels] Oh, sure sure.
- I'm kinda over the look of that.
And like this has so much going on.
It also looks like he has the LED lights
in the front bumper too.
To me, it's a little busy.
It's a little busy but it looks good.
I really I like the splitter.
Not the splitter rods, they're kinda weird.
And then the side skirts, they go perfectly with
the splitter and the Kenards look pretty dope too.
I get what you're saying now.
- Just take a look for a second.
Okay.
That's right.
- It's a sticker.
- It's a sticker, yeah, once you get.
- No one window paints like that.
This man got stickers everywhere.
Anywhere there's an open spot he's like.
(all laugh)
I'll put a sticker there, I'll put a sticker there.
- Open up that vinyl editor on Need for Speed,
just like whoosh, whoosh!
- I count one, two, three, four.
That's my territory on the windshield.
- There we go.
- I'm guilty of it too.
It looks good.
I like it.
- Cool.
- Just a little busy, little.
- Just a hair busy.
- All right, so just kinda lookin'
in some more details here.
He's got some Grimspeed goodies under the hood,
typical Tomay and Cobb stuff going on.
Looks like he's got some bigger injectors.
Paren parts, Crawford you know typical Subie stuff.
We got a lot of stuff going on here.
- [Dakota] I love when they do that.
- Drivetrain has got of of exterior.
So thank you guys,
so if you do add your car and you want us to like really
get an idea of what we're looking at here,
this helps a ton.
So thank you Theory_WRX.
Thank you for adding all that.
Gives us a really nice insight into what we're looking at.
But yeah, a lot of exterior, a lot of engine
stuff it looks like too.
So looks like he's touched pretty much every aspect of the
car at least.
Like interior, under the hood, exterior obviously.
- [Arlyn] Think he's done the stock block?
- [Gels] Probably.
- [Arlyn] Not.
- [Gels] No?
- Probably not.
You see that laundry list under the car?
- When (bleep) hits the fan, it's time to do more mods.
That's what happened there.
- But, I love the Brembo brakes too.
I think the slotted rotors and everything look really good.
Personally though, I think that there is a lot
of decals going on here.
I'm not a huge fan of the rear whatever is going on.
- [Dakota] It's got koi fish and some cherry blossoms.
JDM as (bleep) bro.
- Ready to go?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- All right, on three.
One, two, three.
Eight and a half.
- Eight. - Eight.
What'd you give it Arlyn?
- Eight.
- I thought you said three, I was like.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- I didn't think of that.
- I don't know about that.
That guy put a lot of work in there for me to
give him a three.
- Last car!
- Last car.
- Panda, panda.
- Got the whole zoo in here.
- God, all right we got a 2011 BMW 335i and some
3SDMs, 0.04s.
19 by eight and a half, plus 35
Some Yokohama tires.
Then again, on some Airlift Performance air suspension.
This is anotherlacklusteraccount.
(all laugh)
BMW no spacers, no trimming, no rubbing, no scrubbing.
- One panda.
- [Gels] So, looks like we got just a nice
simple black 335i.
The flamingo again, what the, what is that?
- [Arlyn] Why does everyone have a flamingo?
(laughs)
- [Gels] What are you showing me?
- [Dakota] 2020 flamingos on everybody's cars.
- I want every gallery add to be like this.
I'm just gonna say it.
Between the snakes, the snakes and the edits,
there's a guy like shooting fireworks out
of his Genesis coupe.
With the American flag out the back.
And that was a great picture.
More of that, that's all I need for 2020.
Yeah, looks like, can I say that, I don't know.
So it looks like we got a tuck setup in the rear.
The front is looking a little more flush.
Probably just to, with the 19s and everything,
probably just to get everything a little lower
going with the tuck setup in the rear.
Overall I think it looks really good.
I think the 0.04s are an interesting choice for this car.
I feel like I would picture them more on an Audi
just because they are like more,
I don't know how to say it.
Like they can just pull off that directional wheel
a little more than a BMW can.
- [Arlyn] Really?
- [Gels] Yeah, I think so.
- [Arlyn] Tough call.
- [Gels] Yeah, I still think they look good,
probably just not my personal choice for it but,
it doesn't look like we got a whole bunch of other stuff
going on just the air suspension.
Got some 3SDMs.
Nice, simple, clean and then we got a flamingo.
- [Arlyn] We got a flamingo.
- [Dakota] Following the flamingo.
- [Gels] Flying flamingo.
- [Arlyn] That can't be safe.
- You ever done a Flabongo?
- Yes!
- Absolutely.
- Yes.
All right, divin' into it.
Very clean setup.
He didn't do a whole lot.
The busiest thing on this car is definitely the wheels.
I kinda agree with laying into him.
- [Gels] I technically with Gels,
so I'm not laying into him.
Everybody calm down.
- [Dakota] I'm joking.
- [Arlyn] Big fan of the panda and the flamingo.
He brought two different animals to his photoshoot.
- [Gels] Pandas and flamingos go well.
- [Arlyn] I guess in terms of something to fix,
definitely the wheels.
- [Dakota] Fix your wheels bro (laughs).
- [Arlyn] They look, oddly very big.
Very big and very busy.
- [Dakota] What size is on it?
- [Gels] 19s.
- [Dakota] Okay, so.
- I don't know, it just looks based on some
of the pictures.
- I mean it's basically a donk.
- It's basically a donk.
He goes one more inch up, it's over.
Uh yeah.
- I wanna see that.
- No don't give it to Dakota.
- Flamingo.
- I didn't think flamingos.
- He's only interested in the flamingo guys.
- I didn't think flamingos for awhile.
- Digging right into the flamingo here guys.
- This flamingo picture is photoshopped okay.
- What?
- Fitment Industries does not advocate going and getting
pulled on an inflatable flamingo behind your car.
- Gels advocates it.
- Don't, nope.
Nope.
- You can try it once.
- Nope, don't say that.
Don't do it once.
Don't do it any times.
Just photoshop it because it's funny.
(all laugh)
I don't know who had this idea.
Like it's a bad photoshop.
It's got like rope.
- [Arlyn] It's pretty poor, it's pretty poor.
- [Dakota] Barb, like a Barbie toy on the back of it.
I don't know, anyways, moving forward.
Cool panda mask.
- [Gels] Cool panda mask.
- [Dakota] I think the 3SDMs look good on here.
I think 19s work.
I think it looks all right.
I would like to see the rear fitment a little bit better.
It's a little tucked, you know flush.
Flush isn't just for toilets you know what I'm saying?
It's for cars too.
- [Gels] This guy rolled it.
This guy rolled it.
- [Dakota] I would like to see a little bit more.
I don't know like, what do these Beamers got, 335?
- What year is it?
- They have a lot of modifications for 'em,
like aero and stuff.
I can't get into the list, 2011.
- Few years.
- If there's some like carbon fiber goodies out there
or anything like that.
- Oh I would imagine.
- I think that would look good.
Nothing like crazy.
Not crazy aero or anything.
- Like a lip spoiler or something,
or like duck bill or something.
- [Dakota] But okay I guess maybe he's tucking in the rear.
Just because with 19s going fender to lip, it would price
it pretty high.
So I understand that.
- [Gels] The 19s work with the air suspension.
If that were static, I think it would look really big.
- [Arlyn] Oh yeah.
- [Dakota] I agree.
But I mean rolling it looks damn good.
I mean.
- [Arlyn] The flamingo.
- [Dakota] Probably this was his like you know skating ride
height you do it for the photo height.
But yeah, I like it, I think it looks pretty dope.
Please upload more dope pictures to the gallery like that.
Of your car.
Get creative, I love it.
- If you have to photoshop them, do it.
- FTGs will be fantastic.
- It's gonna get you into FTG ten times quicker,
I promise if you have a picture like that.
- Make sure it's your own.
- Oh wait, we still gotta rate though.
- Yeah.
- I'm ready.
- You ready? - Yeah.
- You ready?
- Let's go, panda, let's go.
- 19s.
On three, one, two, three.
Seven.
- Seven. - Seven and a half.
- Woo!
There it is.
That's the last car.
That's all four of 'em.
