Man those look great, always a fan of gold on white pearl.... Your car looks nice! I will probably paint the center of the mayas I bought to gold like this:



Just want to know a good gold tone to paint- only thing I hate is to clash with my brembos.. guess i'll have to paint those too

Drew, find something you can anchor too and zip tie it up. This might be best without the fender on.....

Fender liners will eventually tire you out and you'll chop them out on the side of the highway... That may have just been me though.

Another option is dry and find some portion of the body that you can drill a hole in and pop a push clip into, this is the "oem" look and the cleanest way to do it. But they need to be strategically placed!

I want pokage, how much camber will i need for this to work? What tire sizes would i need to get the poke?

I am currently on megan coils about 25'' all around from fenders to gound.

Any help is appreciated
If this is a coupe, I suggest different wheels.

Let me know.

Blain, I am tired of my side marker lens popping out every time I drive over a raised area on the road. Last night the side marker bracket on the passenger side finally gave up and snap, the area where the metal clip is inserted into, that part gave out and snapped from being bent so many times...now Idk what to do about it. I'm thinking of deleting both side markers somehow in the kurookie like some have done on the forums. How would I do this? Would the body shop just fiberglass over where the side markers suppose to be? On my phone sorry if everything is bunched up.

turns out my driver fron't isn't low enough by 1/8". my garage floor has shifted from the recent earthquakes I guess. gotta fix that on tuesday.


by the end of summer:
black vinyl roof wrap
akebono bbk. white with gold logo
vis k2 trunk

in the next two weeks, I have to install my front bushing kit, SPL rear arms, and dial in the camber myself. I'll let the pros deal with toe.

Blain - since I'm so low, (passenger side is 1/8" lower than driver front), I rub on the fender liner on turns since it sags lower than the brand new driver side I have in. any tips on pushing or holding it up so I don't rub on it on turns? it's obv not hurting anything, but it's a negative attention getter if people are near by when I turn.
Looking good!

So cruising around on tire rack, this week they have a sale on their ASA GT5 wheels, staggered fitment. For the sedan they have a 20x8.5 +40 front and a 20x10 +40 rear. Am I correct in saying that the rear wheel will not fit without camber/roll? Having a hard time finding wheels I like when You have to deal with such a high offset on sedans...

As far as i've heard the most I can go without camber/roll is 9.5 wide with a +45 rear, and the front will take just about anything close to that. correct?

Yea just take it in and tell them you want to delete the marker and just run a metal clip for the bumper mount. They should understand and be able to pull it off. You will need to buy new bumper brackets and modify them a little to make it work though.

Not quite, his issue is the marker light is literally getting squished and falling out, it will happen even on brand new lights.

You'll be totally fine with 10 +40 and a roll, you shouldn't need and camber. The front you will definitely want at least a 10mm spacer though.

Hey all, I'm looking at getting some used varrstoens for my 03 sedan, and I'm wondering if I'll need to roll my fenders. They're 19's x9.5 front and 10.5 rear, and I can either get em with a 0 offset or 22. Which would sit closer to flush on a sedan? I'm thinking I'll need to roll my fenders anyways, since I'm about to drop it, but I just wanna make sure.

you can run 19x9.5+12 up front and 19x10.5+22 in the rear. you'll have to roll your rear fenders not the front...

I'm sure one of the more experience guys would fill you in a bit more in depth.

So how far will the 22 stick out in the front? Or do I just have to roll the front if I have the 22's up there?

you can do +22 with a 10mm spacer (which would make it +12) without having to roll the front fenders.
