got a call earlier this morning and look whats finally back at home after a long stay at the body shop. finally got some 06+ projectors and switched out to the clear corners w/bump instead of the old ones. Sorry for the crappy phone pic for now, better pics will be taken next week when the new wheels for it will be here.

havent quite decided yet, i might leave them how they are because they definitely make the whole front end of the car look years newer. but i guess we will find out once the new wheels are on whether or not they should be painted or maybe get the wheels powdercoated instead

^ thats what im thinking, it will be a nice change up from the current and past looks, plus i miss having step lip wheels so it should work out pretty nice.. hoping to have new pics up by next weekend with the wheels and everything on the car finally

^ ya they gave me full value that i paid for my wheels, i get to keep them until the new wheels show up then theyre taking them back since the insurance company technically paid for them in full

^ thats what i thought but wasnt sure about. i was going to ask them in a couple days when the new wheels showed up, but i was pretty sure that i get to keep them and do what i want with them.
Yeah I just went through that when I got rear ended.. I needed a new taillight but wanted to keep the one that was damaged on my car.. The owner of the bodyshop said I can keep whatever I want since it's technically mine even if it's trashed beyond repair..

well i went out to test fit the meisters on the car earlier today and unfortunately with a 10mm spacer on the front they still will not clear the akebonos and i dont want to run anything bigger than a 10mm so needless to say i will probably be cleaning and polishing them up and then posting them up for sale soon. in the mean time heres a test fit pic
