Eww Socal Winters (56k is A okay)
Alrite it feels like i havent really had any updates in a while and I finally got to wash my car after like 2 months so I went out and took some pictures. Not sure what im going to be doing next to the car. C&C is always welcome.

This is how my car looked how nasty

18x9 +30 is going to be hard up front i have a little trouble with my specs in the front but its possible if you run negative camber.

I'm not debadged but I took off my 3.2TL lettering because someone tried to pull it off and didn't "finish the job", so I had to take the rest off. I just used a hair dryer to heat the area, pulled off the letters, then I had to use "Goo Gone" to get the adhesive off <---this took the longest. If you look close you can still see the outline though. I'm not too worried about it though.
