I used one of the ebay smoked housings and swapped the bulbs for amber replacements. There are a couple of different ones out there but most of the ones I saw looked like a silver housing with a black lense, I found one that actually looked like a black housing / lense so it stays darker.

Not much going on here, but a lot more to come. Will not be looking like this for much longer.

Yup! It's been a lot of fun Not the most attractive setup I've had, but definitely a lot easier to live with. More wifey material ya know?

Still probably going to tweak the front end up a little bit (bring it up). I have a set of 19s that will be going on as soon as I get some rash repaired and get them mounted. Will be a little sexier without losing the function I've finally gotten back.

For some reason I thought you weren't running much camber when you fit those wheels with all the pulling etc that was going on

Me too...I still haven't gotten an alignment to really see where I'm at. Was un-employed for 2 months and my plans came to a hault. Just got back on my feet and started driving the car after it sitting since august or so. Just ordered my inven front and cf splitter from Stephen at R1. Hopefully I can finish her by the end of the year.

Here's some vids of her current condition -



And back earlier this year

are your lips outside the fender when compressed or tucked? Hard to see in 240p

Yeah, sorry for the crappy iPhone vid but that's all I got. I would say they tuck, barely. They actually hit the fender and get forced to tuck. My rear lips are so scratched on the outer edges but I'm sure I can sand and smooth them out once I have things more dialed in.

If they're hitting make sure you re-roll the rear fenders occasionally. You'll end up with flat spots if you let them go too long (flat spots in the fender itself) which actually reduces your clearance, part of the flatness will be on the inside of the fender well. If you let it go long enough and get tire rub it'll start wearing down the tire at the bead which is the last thing you want lol.

Been there, done that.... It only takes a few minutes to roll out any flat spots, not nearly as bad as doing an initial roll.
