Ya the wheels I had on were rubbing so bad they were destroying my fenders... I tried getting an appointment to get them rolled but it would have taken too long and it was getting pretty dangerous. Really she's just going to be sitting in the garage and I'm only driving if there's no snow or ice. :( Also I was excited to put on my new wheels haha!

As long as its not over done. The orange wheels on blue looks great. I would think twice about adding orange to every little part.

Ya I'm going to take it slow with the orange. Most of those mods (plastdip orange) probably won't get done. I'll stop with the orange when I think I have the bare minimum to link it through the car.

Newb question... I googled it cause I wasn't sure but is a fender marker the light? By the fender? Or do you mean actually ringing the fenders in orange (thin line)

Fender marker is the turn signal light on the fender. Ive seen it wrapped in orange vinyl another member has it and it looks really good.

Yeah the turn signal. I was rocking them for a while I painted mine with a candy orange though. Also ran orange rear bumper side reflectors, something that I picked up off of the early euro models.

You still debating spacers Darien?

I ammm... I have ten mm ones and I'm thinking of doing it front and back with the ARP studs when I get my fenders rolled...

imo, if you do spacers, must go lower.

nice looking car, like the way it's headed

Woo, long day installing angel eyes and non-scratched up headlights, and yesterday I did a backup camera install that links to my eonon head unit. I will be putting on some more parts very shortly... more better pics to come.

I'm on the lookout for a cheap set of tein s springs. But until then I think I'll stay on prokids. Although I think lower with spacers would be amazing.
