Update 4/27

Yesterday was a good mail day! I got myself a brand new set of Genuine Honda Spirior door sills for the TSX. Since tonight is my last night at home before my 4 day vacation in Chicago (Wekfest!!) followed by a whole week in Hawaii (R&R!!) they will go on when I return home. For now enjoy these photos.

Good approach but I am assuming it was a pricey one at that. I was thinking like a service where you buy like a "template wheel" then you can adjust the width along with the offset, maybe like a 3D printing kinda thing and yes I understand your method.

Looking to purchase wheels in a couple of months and I have an idea on specs but in the end I don't want to go extreme to make the wheels fit for example pulling the fenders far beyond the body lines or to go wide body.

Its funny that you mention that.. I've always thought that would be a cool concept for a company. So many people would benefit off that!

We could have the diameter fixed and the width along with the offset will be adjustable via pin locks or whatever that is structural sound. Although this "wheel template" would not be able to rest the car on the ground but rather have the car on jack stands and the "wheel template" be mounted on the hub and using a floor jack to stimulate the drop. Then the face of the "wheel template" would be blank or some generic design.

Went to Wekfest Chicago, Wekfest LA and Wekfest San Jose last year and its a whole different game compared to Seattle carshows. I am from Oahu and man that place is blooming quick!

That would be amazing.

I've been to all of the Wekfests and I agree those scenes are amazing!

A lot of updates since my last post. My seats finally came in (not installed yet.. been super busy!) and I got my headlights and tail lights from Ratchet Racing in and installed. I will post more pictures and videos of them soon. For now here are some recent updated photos:
