Update on a few things

Long time no post on here. Did a few things on the car and wanted to share.

Got new wheels (yeah I know I will get crap for the center caps but w/e). Unfortunately after getting these wheels I saw a few more members get these and my neighbor got them as well so I bought a new set right away and now these are my dedicated winter wheels.

My custom aspec pieces are still being made and they will go on in the coming weeks. Some more minor things and after that its done.

Time for new wheels and some other minor things.

The front plate and light tint were making me miserable so I took it off and went darker.

May I ask what your wheel/tire and camber specs are in the rear?

Car looks good, did you tint the front window as well?

Haha it sure does! I remember I had these wheels sitting in my basement when you mounted up your wheels and I was so pleased because they looked so awesome! I knew I had made the right decision! And of course dark tint FTW!

The wheels are 18x10.5+22 and I am running -5 camber in the back. And yes the whole front is tinted.

That's awesome! Love the specs---it actually really helps cause I wanted a similar size. -5 seems like a lot though, what tire size do you have on?

225 is too much of a stretch for me. I was hoping to do 245, maybe 255.

Anyway, definitely looking forward to your next update
