Looking forward to seeing the car with spacers on. Looks great as it is though. Loving the vibrant colours!

Thanks josh! Means a lot coming from you. Your car being as gorgeous as it is!

Since People are DoucheNuggets and my installer flalked, I will be attempting to install springs by moiself. I think I may break my car.

I think you need to match the tails and headlights somehow but other then that it looks really good

Damn, douchenuggets are the worst!

It may be worth the drive up to Jimmy at SP or a member who does local installs if you're not feeling too comfortable. But hey, kudos for attempting it yourself.

I have been foiled by rust I got the front right off but the front left, one of the knuts is like seized by the hand of god. So I'll phone jimmy up first thing on Monday and get a quote for it all. Sorry about the wait! I will let you know when they are ready should be within the next few days regardless.

Pb blaster & breaker bar?

Pb blaster & breaker bar?

Can't it's a bad angle and it's seriously rusty. I don't want to strip it completely as then the shop won't be able to remove it without burning it. I'll just wait a day. Find somebody willing to do it tomorrow!

You wouldn't be the first to make a long drive to SP. He'll get that off and do the job right.

I've made the trip to Jimmy a couple times all the way from Waterloo.

Hope you get it sorted out!

Woo... so I got CM springs on my ride now and fixed the sixth angel eye. Tried to take some night pics but really only got a couple decent shots.... still learning how to shoot at night and with an actual camera... hah
Here are just the six eyes

Here are the six eyes, hids (with blue projector housing reflection), and weak ass fogs.

and others...




Oh and I painted my rear calipers... going to redo it and do the front ones soon. Also trying out some open ended lightweight lugs I got for free... kinda undecided on them

I hate your lack of wheel gap and my major yawning crevice.

[ds08tf]

Took some pics cause I was getting some fs ads ready. Only new thing was I threw the evil M on the back...





This is an edit I did that I liked... and the original after it.

No foggy headlights yet?

[ds08tf]

Thanks Marta!

No foggy headlights yet?

There was on the one side but I opened it up to fix up the paint and made sure to over silicone when I resealed. So all good now!
