i had rolled my rear fenders because my 225 50 17 were rubbing. so how on earth can 245 40 17 gonna fit? also i have enkeis rsv 17x7 so 245 would be bulging out so i know i need to get wider rims. i have a offset of 42 do i need to go lower to like 35?Quote:

She looks better than ever Exhaust power!
Took care of the peeling paint on my hood by plasti dipping it, it's just going to stay like this until it gets a full paint job:

And this is with the grill and white plasti dipped rims. Not diggin the white like I did with the last rims, but I'm gonna try to paint the emblem black and put on black lugs to see if that makes it pop more

Damn you jumped on that bandwagon too.Quote:

I was thinking about it for awhile cause I didn't want to paint it knowing that the whole car was going to be repainted, plus I haven't posted a recent pic of the G.Quote:

Ok that's it lol
Took me a loooong time to finally find one. And took me a good 8 hr's to make the downpipe and wastegate tubing since it exits out the bottom rear of the manifold. Feel like making a topmount cause i'm bored and want to switch it up. Well see the car should be back out this summer hoping for mid 10's with the current set up.Quote:

Plus longer lasting, it doesnt have the spray lines, easier to clean.
All this nice stuff going on, I feel unworthy lol. Anyway, I just did a little aesthetic touches lightwise. Blue LED's in the dash, shifter, and dome light. LED third brake light and reverse lights. 8K HID's in the headlights and 3k bulbs in the fogs. Gonna do the turns and brake lights in LED next, just have to order the error cancel diodes
Turned the boost up to 17 pounds and did a burn out in fourth gear. :)

There are few clear coat runs on the front bumper, a spot on the rear visor where a drop of water snuck past the water separator and got into the paint. And I knocked the grille of the stool after the first coat of clear and it got banged up so I put it aside so I can redo it.
I just purchased 2001 8g JDM tails, the amber colored ones.....are those hard to come by? $ 190 shipped....

Those are the aspire tail lights aka the super vr4 tail lights. I wouldn't consider them hard to come by cuz few members have them including me and they r on eBay quiet oftenQuote:

I'm not upset with it at all. I actually think I did great. Just gonna let it sit for the weekend and next week ill take care of the runs and wet sand it. Then redo the grille and finally mount everything. Side skirts needs trimming and fitting then I can shoot those another time but they can wait lolQuote:

gojirars - where did you order those Aspires from?
I got them from a site called rpm garage, nice site, I am also looking at full front conversion, but that is something for next spring.Quote:

wow that is a great price for those tails since they are super rare.

here
Haha my bad man, the very first pic shows the first layer of base coat not clear coat. Following pics are after two layers of clear coat. I wasn't very specific in my description lolQuote:

yes I did, I did leave a link to a set (not amber'd) for sale on ebay for nearly 3 times the price, and as those are an ebay item, they are probably replicas
That is why I went to direct site talked to them, those ebay ones.....do they even come with the harness? I made sure mine did....always good to ask before buying. Also rpm has an offer option which I liked.Quote:

I think so, I believe stanley are originals??? Still, not bad, I won't argue.Quote:
