I might need to try this. But I will wait until I do my second timing belt Or if my oil pump starts leaking I'll do it then.

Awesome. I can't seem to find any wheels that suit what I'm looking for myself. Lol. So I see what you mean.

Installed a bumper quick release on my front. Did not do this for looks, I would prefer not to have it. But a couple mishaps over almost 3 years and being low for most of the time, my tabs are simply done. It was a must, and it looks better than I expected. My friend wanted to buy my wheels but I just can't let em go! This is my first set in a while which I cannot get over...

Theres a set you can get that are a little more....flush. It's like a push and lock quick release. It gives a more flush and clean look.

I looked into that, but I needed the tab to be as close to the original tab, so it is at the edge. But that one would have to be mounted closer to the headlight. This isn't too bad. I actually like it now.

No one can explain how happy I am right now haha. I sold my XLR8 last night and picked up an ATLP today from a buddy a couple hours away with very little out of pocket cost. Sounds and looks so freaking nice! ATLPV1 Non resonated.

Update time! I sold the ESRs because I was tired of running a lot of camber and I didnt like the color. My friend and I got a partial sponsorship from Aodhán wheels so I gave myself a late birthday gift and I went with a similar style with a full machine face and slightly higher offset. Specs are 18x9.5 +30 with 5mm spacer all around and 215/40. Camber is -3 rear and -2 front. I also put my front splitter back on but when I removed my rear camber my car raked a little bit, and it just sat way too low up front. It started making my front aspec tape begin to lift due to it flexing from scraping, so I need to retape it now. I also removed my rear window visor and window visors for a cleaner look. I am really happy with my car now and how it sits. I picked up a set of stock headlights for $100 to play around with and modify so that will be coming soon! The white TL has my old XLR8 exhaust and he just picked up my front and side splitters.

Soooo... In a previous thread you said you put your old headlights back on. Might that mean you have a set of modded headlights for sale?
