Your stance is uber on point. It's exactly how I want mine. I just don't wanna get new wheels just yet.
Yup! Just in time for Wekfest.![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thanks Brandon. Warrior part 2 starts next week.

i really like the poke on your car, but aside from just fitment and stance, your car is so clean. im a fan of vip style boxes, but yours is the cleanest ive ever seen. im really contemplating doing the window surrounds in white like yours, but iono how itd look on a tl.

I hear ya on that special request, there's no way a regular tow truck could handle our lowered cars. Even then our mufflers would be scraped to hell

one thing you should know that most the people in that thread dont realize is that, yes those oznium strips are made to run 12v already but your car doesnt put out 12v, its puts out around 13.5-14 when the car is running so the MOST reliable way of keeping them running at the proper 12v, is to use a 12v voltage regulator. it simply keeps the voltage steady at 12v instead of allowing the LEDs to be exposed to the voltage fluctuations that a car has. question is whether or not i'll be able to fit a regulator in there with the leds or not.
another option is to do a custom setup and calculate the resistors for the leds to recieve 14v instead of 12v. that way even if your voltage goes as high as 14v, the leds are still within normal operating voltage. this option is not as good as the voltage regulator but its better than nothing at all.
let me know what you want to do. if you can take the sidemarkers off and give them to me, i can work on them in my spare time and get them back to you. i dont have any white leds on hand at the moment but i can order some.

the 2nd link is probably the simplest thing to do. the only difficult part i see is the cutting of the sidemarker, if its anything like my rear side markers, then the front lense and the rear piece are fused together so they need to be cut apart and glued back together.

I might have asked this before but, is Wheels America worth using for wheel repair??
I have heard of Memory Fab.
Wheel Techniques too. (I think it was called) But I hear the service can be "spotty".
Anyone have any opinions? I have two piece wheels that are curbed and slightly bent. =(
