Welcome! Nice looking car and mod list you got going. A little tip for the future, search and do your own research before posting a thread asking a question, because more than likely, it's been discussed already. You'll also get better responses from members if it shows you at least tried searching beforehand.

As for the spacers, what are your wheel specs (width, offset)? Judging by the pics I'd say 25mm spacers would look good, though it'll depend on your drop, and you might have to roll your fenders.

For your headlights, I believe 3M makes a headlight restoration kit, as well as Meguires. Or, if you own your own buffer already, use some car polish with an orange pad and buff it out.

Thank you for the complement.
I have done lot of search but wasn't sure what spacer size i needed.Also can the 3m restoration kit take the yellow off the clearance strip because i think is inside.
And The tires are 245/35Z/R20 and the lip is 8.5 all around and the offset i don't know.Also with 25MM spacer in front and back ill have to roll my front n rear fenders?

Oh, I didn't see the pics too well on my iPhone lol, I thought it was just the usual hazing. I remember seeing threads of people opening up their lights to clean it, but you'll have to search for that. Or now would be a good time to get some new projector headlights.

An easy way to see if it'll rub your fenders is by taking a ruler and measuring out 1 inch (25.4mm=1in). It's hard to tell for sure. It'll depend on how much you drop, camber, and offsets.

I just measured 1"(25.4MM)with a ruler from the tire to the fender and its exactly 1 inch from the tire side to where the fender ends.So basically there is 1inch between the fender and where the rim is. So with 25MM front n back i won' t rub unless im drop right? Also the spacer in the front shouldn't it be less since the back fender is wider? I dont want my tires sicking all the way out either.I want them to be like right under the fender. I hope you understand what i mean.
And yes im planing to get projector in the future but cant know so was trying to fix these till then.

I would go with 20mm front and rear. If you do a 25mm in the rear you might have to roll the fender. The Ichiba spacers have two options V1 which come with longer studs and V2 which come with build in studs. The V2 are very easy to install. But you have to make sure you wheels will take them. Meaning your wheels will have to have an indention in the back of the wheel. Check my post for info.

Let me know if you have any question about the spacers. I would be more than happy to help.

Charles

ied go with 20mm front and rear spacers, this should get you close and not have to worry about rubbing

as for the headlights ied go with some 06 projectors, huge difference

Beware GUYs DONT BUY THIS ****.
yea i know water comes inside them somehow i bought this on ebay for like $20 bucks tho they were the clear corner everyone had but instead is some cheap company on ebay that sells them.I told the seller it gets condensation and he send me a second set " that supposedly didn't have this problem" but it did.So i let him know and he refund my $20 and i send him the second set back n kept the first one since he told me to trow it away lol So thats what i have now till i buy some JDM clear corner or fix this somehow.

I like the wheels. Don't bother with Ebay clear corners, just get the OEM ones. You plan on lowering?
