Well the flaps are the right color it's just my car is dirty so it looks off. And they are obviously not mounted right...just trying to get an idea on how the flaps would look. Also if I do install I would just do rears and get skirts

I like the rears I like the fronts, and Ive also considered getting sideskirts and doing the half half look. Check bazzoers thread hes done it, best example of what it will look like
maybe to the hood.
maybe to the glove compartment.

Ben were the old wheels ruined in the wreck or did the insurance people take them since it was totaled? Are any mods taken into account when they total the car? I am a noob with insurance.
Also, what color did you get? Bronze???

and i dont remember all the details but i think they let him take off the wheels, rear of the catback exhaust, his brakes, and some other minor fun stuffs. he got lucky with the insurance. usually they total as is. only shot to change is to talk to the body shop and exchange parts for stock, like the wheels

Morning Gents! P. Diddy is correct. My insurance company (Nationwide) was very understanding and accommodative of my situation and allowed me to remove the aftermarket parts from my car as long as I replace what I took off with OEM parts which I had saved and boxed up.
Basically the impact front the incident was so hard on the guard rail it twisted my rear wheel laterally rendering it useless and beyond repair. I tried looking for a replacement wheel but it's a discontinued model and no one had a pair or individual wheel in my size or offset for sale. So that slightly twisted rim is artwork in my office along with another TE37 which I have turned into a wall clock. I am keeping an eye on the forums to see if I can find a replacement wheel in the future so I don't have to turn the other 3 rims into artwork or furniture.
The Advans I picked up last night are MINT and curb free from a local seller via craigslist. It came with tires as well. Price was right after we came to an agreement so I had to jump on them even though I was favoring another set of Volks

Cheapskate question.. Does anyone know if Rota center caps from the knock off Advan RZ will fit the real deal? Just did a search on ebay for some Advan center caps. They are like ~$215 for the set and kinda blah looking.
