Getting close to able to mount these bad boys but need to install all other suspension parts. Had the wheels coated over at Mr. Detail in Seattle, Ballard, WA to be exact. Hit up Mike with all your detailing needs. Mr. Detail Seattle - The Best Car Wash & Auto Detail

Thanks and no those are not my CEs. Another customer dropped off their wheels to get coated when I picked up the wheels.

Been reading about Honda OEM TPMS with SSR wheels and how it is not compatible so I had to find out myself and OEM TPMS does fit with SSR CV04.

Here is Honda OEM TPMS into SSR CV04. Its a bit short so I ordered SSR valve stem extension (see photo below)



Here is with SSR valve stem extension:



Does any one know if the Honda OEM TPMS needs to be flush with the barrel or can it be free floating but held tight to the barrel with the Honda OEM TPMS locking nut like here:

Does not need to be flush. Mine are strapped to the barrel itself, very far away from the actual valve stem. Your usage of the SSR extension is probably the most ideal option for your situation.

Thanks for the feedback! Want everything to be prepared before I bring the wheels and tires down to the shop to get mounted and balanced.

Special Edition Headliner Conversion

This is a long time coming, special edition black headliner conversion. Spent about a fraction (including installation which involves removing the rear windshield) if everything was bought from factory.

You'll see soon hopefully!

Question, the service manual for removing the headliner says you can disassemble the front cabin area and have enough clearance to remove the headliner through the front doors, assembly the same way. Who did you go to for removing the rear glass?

I had Durham Upholstery https://www.durhamuph.com/ do the conversion and they had their "glass guy" remove the rear glass.

Quite a build you have going on! Did you use a plug and play harness for the JDM/EDM bi-xenons? If so where did you get them?

That's great news. I'd love to get these headlights down the road and not make any major modifications for functionality.
