FadeToBlack will become famous soon enough

24" in a Range Rover is just wrong. Maybe that's just me. The wheels also look bad.
Maybe you should have gone for a 22" Overfinch wheel. That looks a lot better.

Yeah, maybe so, but I hate making RR useless everywhere but on the street. Disregarding the size, the wheels still look bad.

22's look small on the big body Rover, this is a fact as we have done it before.

They look bad?

Did you not see the picture posted before? Useless? Quite the opposite it looks mean on the streets and conquers terrain.

I don't like the design. It looks a la pickup truck, which the RR isn't.
And second of all, a RR is also meant for a bit off-road, which is rendered close to useless with 24" rims and that sidewall.

Pick up truck? Again, quite the opposite.

Well this Rover doesn't really go off-roading around LA.

That's just me maybe

.

However, interesting thing you've done with the headlights. They look very cool.

I've got a question though: are there two variants of the Overfinch kit or just one? I seem to remember something about two body kits for the Range Rover, but I may just recall it wrong.

PS: Actually two: is there a ECU update (tune) for the RR 5.0 Supercharged or the aspirated model? I've tried to find one on Overfinch's site and I didn't find one.

They actually serve a purpose unlike many other Range Rover's with 24's.

Well, in that case, +rep. I've seen more Range Rover's ruined by big stupid wheels than I'd like to admit. Good job being positive even with some of us not liking some aspects of it. I still don't like how it looks, but it's obvious you're happy with it.
