I used the same exact grille and RL pieces you used. Mine is still at the body shop because I am color matching the chrome bars as well (CBP).

They look great in that vid. Any pics/vid up front? Also the link you provided doesn't have a 3000k option :shrugs:. I'm guessing they ran out of those bulbs.

Did you go with the HD Relay harness? 35w or 50w?

@opboarding I think there are replica 11+ JDM grilles now. Seen at least one on ebay not long ago and it surprisingly said not genuine.

went to get my tires rotated at discount tire and they said they wont due to my camber "wear" i have a camber kit in the rear but fronts are -1 and -0.9. i know it doesnt look bad to some standards.... now im tempted to get wheels that are 18 and new tires. i know this wont help my tire wear but if i am going to buy new tires why not buy new wheels right? lol
i might just rock stocks for a while.....

That "camber wear" is barely noticeable, IMO. And -1 degree of camber is nothing to be concerned about.Now, assuming I'm blind and there really is a noticeable amount of camber wear, then it's very likely due to your toe settings, not so much the camber unless you start reaching super slanted territory.Any reason why you're going from 19 down to 18? Ride feel? I'm on 18s with no issues, just curious

camber wear has started but all things considered i think im doing good. toe is in spec. i just thought about going 18 ..no particular reason but looking at it i think our car really fits 19s well but thats just me.
