      i drilled the holes for the outside bolts and yes i put the plastic nuts on to keep the spoiler down to the trunklid... without the nuts there was about a 1/4'' gap between the spoiler and trunk

          about a month ago i finished up reupholstering my interior cloth/vinyl.. it was about week worth of work on my free time about 2 hours a day.. here are some pictures of my cars interior timeline haha keep in mind this was my 1st shot at reupholstering.. i just learned to use a sewing machine about 2 weeks before i started this project.. practiced every single day till i felt like i could do it.. last pictures are the end result.. so far its been holding up GREAT no wrinkles or anything everything is nice and tight.. and i love the feel of cloth seats over vinyl and or leather.. not to mention the look.. i think it looks alot better..

              yeah i did them myself.. it wasnt as hard as i thought it would be.. but it is very time consuming.. i took apart the 2 front seats.. rear seat.. front door cards and the rear cards.. it took alot of time unstitching the parts i was going to replace with cloth.. and making sure i traced them out right.. then stitched cloth to the original vinyl pieces.. i doubled up the fabric in places that would be a potential problem area for wear and tear.. and double stitched those areas too.. but in the end i think all the time and work i put on it was definately worth it and im also able to say i did it myself..

                    theyre a set of TSW wheels theyre almost identical to the euroweaves but with a 1/4'' deeper dish.. i got them for cheap.. theyre a good set of temperary wheels till i have enough for a clean ass set of RS003's

                        i love your car i am also on the vogland setup and looking at your car makes me so eager to put on my new wheels this summer to see how my ride height really looks kuz i got on three diff tires and two different profiles right now lol so i didnt really have an idea of how itd look till i saw your car. plus all the other cars i saw on vogtlands were early arch cars and it looks suuuuper low on yours.. man i cant wiat till summer rolls around
