First thing was a debadge. Some pics in the snow:

A couple Edits

Next I tinted the tails using some good ol' VHT Nightshades. Didn't turn out as good as I wanted but ehhh, it looks alright.

After some 2000 grit wet sanding and some wax.

Another little "photoshoot" with my Wide angle lens for my phone.

and an edit.

I just completed my order for XXR 527 18x8.75 Matte Bronze +35mm for the front and XXR 527 18x9.75 Matte Bronze +20mm for the back. Also on the way are D2 Coils and raliart eyelids. I'll post updates when it's all installed, so excited!

Where did you order from?

 

[Sabastean]

Where did you order from?

Ordered wheels from Next Level Motoring, coils from JMAutoRacing, and eyelids from AutoCityImports.

 

[Sabastean]

Can you see the pictures? Links were broken but I think I fixed it?

 

[Jeremy'sGT]

Why the larger offset on the smaller rim?

 

[Sabastean]

Why the larger offset on the smaller rim?

I'm hoping that will get me closer to flush in the front. I didn't want to much poke in the front and I was scared of that with the 9.75" wide rim. this offset will get me just about a half inch closer in than in the rear, which should be about right for the front.

Can somebody who knows a little better please correct me if I'm wrong?

 

[Jeremy'sGT]

Sounds like it could get you that flush look. If it doesn't. You could always get spacers.

 

[Jeremy'sGT]

If you search around a lot of members run 9.75 in the front and rear and even 10" and it looks awesome. As long as you like it

 

[Sabastean]

Sounds like it could get you that flush look. If it doesn't. You could always get spacers.

That is what I was thinking. If I get a higher offset I can always put in a spacer to make up for the gap. On the other hand, if I went with the lower offset I would be SOL if I wasn't happy.

 

[Jeremy'sGT]

Very true!

Did NLM have the wheels in stock? I know I was looking at getting some XXR's and when I asked at discount tire the guy called XXR and said that all the wheels are on backorder for all sizes and colors...however that may have only been for the XXR 527's...So I was just wondering if you knew whether or not NLM had these wheels in stock?

 

[ChrisB]

Sweet picks! Love that yellow!

 

[fellowsdrake]

I hate that 4gb's get dual exhaust factory... It's such crap.

End jealous rant.

As far as I know they are in stock, I'll definitely double check but there weren't any flags that the wheels were on backorder. I even used the coupon code and got $40 off the entire order. I cant recall what it was right off the top of my head and its not much but at least its something.

Thanks! I was sort of sceptical about the yellow but I'm trying to embrace it haha. It really is an eye catcher.

Haha well from what I know it really isn't much of a difference aside from the cosmetics. Just makes any exhaust upgrades that much more difficult.

So I just talked to Next Level Motoring because the 2 8.75's I ordered actually were on backorder. Just changed the order to get 2 18x8.75 +20 instead. They say it should be here by Friday.

 

[Sabastean]

So I went put and got a few cans of Plasti Dip, matte black. Here are my results.

A before

And after of the roof. I removed the sunroof guard.

Finished product.

 

[cmturner]

Holy crap I like that, I've been having that idea, just havent fully decided on it, think I might do it :-D

 

[Sabastean]

Go for it bro! Haha I love how it turned out.

 

[cmturner]

Think I'll add that to the list to do next weekend ;-)
