I'll take some nice shots over the weekend and post some! I'll be going down to sf Thursday evening to sell my old struts, so if you're local, my buddy David ad I can swing by and we can talk cars!
Thank you! Nope, my fogs were so chipped up and pitted over time I didn't want to use any vinyl on them. I figured I would d it the cheap way and I think it turned out better than if I were to use some sort of overlay. I used a krylon stained glass paint that I've used before on my WRX's high beams. I started out with thin coats and slowly built up to thick wet coats and it actually filled in a lot of the chips and pitting. Looks great! http://www.amazon.com/Krylon-9024-St...ef=pd_sxp_f_pt
They're klutch SL1's! I love the style because it reminds me of an Enkei 92 with DEEP lips. (3.5 and 4 inch) The specs are 16x8 et15 front and 16x9 et18 rear.
I threw my 15mm h&r spacers on the front (basically 16x8 et0) and added a degree of camber to get the right look I was going for, and heck, front camber is beneficial to an extent due to the rake in corners. More grip up front! I haven't gotten an alignment yet but the front camber should be right around 4 and the rear at 3-4 degrees as well. Its a bit much in the rear for my liking, but there's really no way around it other than an adjustable subframe. I think I may add a 10mm spacer on the rear to get some more aggressive looking fitment. Not sure yet!
At the end of the day, this is a street car/ my daily driver that I like to throw into corners on the twisties. I'm fine with a bit of camber since it gives me the look I'm going for. When I take it to autocross next month I'll raise it an inch front and rear to correct the roll center and get some more grip and better turn in.
I'll have photos up this weekend! Stay posted :ST1G:
