Thanks man.

Not much work was done to be honest. Rolled fenders, maybe pulled a bit. I'm running about -3.5 degrees in the back and about -2.0 degrees in the front.

No they aren't in the black market because I'm not really trying to ship them.

Thats a tough task lol but I disconnected them to be honest. It made the head lights look too cluttered when all the lights were on.

Car is coming along nicely! Get the body kit and you are set

I know this is very late and you've probably changed your mind or maybe even traded them already, but are you still looking to trade your waffles for stocks? I have a set in fair condition, stock color if you are still interested.

I was eyeballing those wheels for a loooong time, but never had the balls to pull the trigger bc of how aggressive they are. Congrats on pulling it off nicely.

I was worried at first too, but I've seen a few guys run more aggressive wheels so I decided I could make it work. I think it paid off. I'm thinking of changing the color of them though, but as of now I'm just not sure because I love this color so much and how it flows with the SSM. lol Thanks man

The wheels look sweet as is and beautiful pics btw, but if you did change the color of the rims, would you consider white? White and SSM would be $$$

I thought about the white, but my friend with the tC has white VS-XX's and I didn't want to cramp his style. lol Plus I'm usually cruising with him and I don't know how I feel about having the same color cars on the same color wheels. A bit :gheylaugh: gay

It honestly wasn't that bad. I have done it a few times. The key thing really is to just take your time, especially when you are resealing them. I think that you could even use a serious heat gun, but it'll just take a whole lot longer.

As long as the lights separate properly and i dont break them the only real bad thing that could happen would be internal fogging after re-sealing right? And that can be easily fixed

Thanks Aaron. The only White S2k I ran into at h2oi belongs to my friend Elliot. He is on Work Vs-xx's painted some blue color.

Thanks. I got them off my friend, so I got a bit of a deal for the lugs and wheels. It was around 2K for the wheels and lugs and they were basically brand new.

Thanks bro. Cruising down in OC is the best. I'm hoping to make it down there at some point this summer and hopefully for H2oi 2013, but that depends on my soccer schedule.
