New setup in the works. Will take some time to complete, but since I had the time I decided to try part of it out.

20x10.5 +0 fronts. (5 inch lip)

Rears are yet to be determined. Looking to go anywhere between 15 and 35 mm more aggressive. I want to get between a 5.5 and 6" lip in the rear. Will be doing it without wide body or by cutting the fenders and adding sheet metal.

If anyone is interested in my front wheels (20x9.5 +3) let me know. Will be letting them go for cheap. I can get the other pair for a good deal since I can get a discount with Work wheels.

I'm doing some interior work, bought a crap load of vinyl and fabric spray paint, although I should have bought some dye instead. Carpets were painted black (will get pictures later) and already started on the a pillars, headliner, b pillars and some other little pieces. Painting everything above the dash black to keep a nice two tone.

I'll probably wrap the pillars with some leather vinyl or maybe something that matches the headliner. As for the headliner, I'm not sure yet. Gonna put the fiber optic lighting project aside for the time being. Maybe some sort faux fur, but must be real short. Not gonna do suede or alcantra (or whatever it's called) because I don't like it. I wanna keep it luxury/exotic and suede is more sporty and I feel like everyone has it and I always go about doing things different from others. Or I might find something with a pattern or design that is still fully black, we'll see. I might add another coat to the headliner tomorrow. It's good enough, but maybe it can use another coat. Sucks that one spot in the middle behind where the sunroof is, is a different shade. It was dirty from before (another reason why I wanna wrap).

Anyway, here are some pics.

I don't min Alan. I wouldn't recommend doin the paint though. Gotta see if you can see the spray lines. Plus I think it's more expensive. I used like 4 cans (25 bucks) on it when I probably coulda bought some dye and done it for cheaper.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Hmmmm, didn't think about that.

Jeremie, the paint made the headliner thin. I got some black dye from Joanne's Fabrics and it supposed to keep the soft texture, I'd recommend using that.

I decided that since I like the black I got a few options for wrapping the interior pieces. One of them is this black cloth with little rhinestones which would match the swarovski crystals. It looks sorta like a sky light. Pillars I might go with velour or leather. Carpets I'll be doing in mink type of fabric, although I did think of that for the headliner. I'm up in the air about it.
