    What size are those tires?

    They look kind of small, making the wheel look like it needs a spacer. Usually eclipse wheels fill the wheel well pretty good.

    I'm running the 205/40s that came with them... I wheel and deal a little so I picked these up cheap (pun intended).

    I'm looking to get a set of 215/45/17 for future use

    But here's the old set

    got this put in after 2 days. Didn't realize how much of a pain in the ass it was going to be. Now all that's left is to do some work to the radio bezel.
    A man has an idea. The idea attracts others, like minded. The idea expands. The idea becomes the institution.

    The Bezel isn't too hard. Use QuikSteel putty.

    While your screen is in the car and the bezel is installed...place duct tape or packaging tape on the bezel to mark the edges. Take the bezel out, keeping the tape on and press in the QuickSteel putty from the back. Go slightly over the edges of the tape. Let it cure, mark the edges with a marker, remove the tape.
    You should be flush with the rest of the bezel. All you have to do it trim the edges with a dremel and then paint it

    OR

    Tightly wrap your screen in clear plastic wrap or aluminum foil and press the putty around the edges. Don't leave it there too long to cure as it gets kind of hot.
    Then just block sand it and trim/smooth the edges... paint and done.





    the HVAC controls need to be mounted further back. That take a decent amount of rigging.

    thanks for the tip on the quicksteel putty. i'll try the first way by using tape to mark it. my climate controls are sitting in-between the bezel and the dash that's why its sticking out so far. I tried mounting it to the backside but it looked too far back in the bezel. I've got a few ideas to experiment with to see if I can get mounted to look as good as yours lol
