Yeah, Ill get some better pics up.

Wheels: 16x7.5+22 volk forged mesh, kics 25mm hubcentric bolt on spacers for z-brakes

I know spacers suck, but I didnt want to get rid of the wheels or the brakes and that was the only way to run both.

originally yes, but I used the eastman fender roller to pull so that ended up smashing it super flat where the bat left off.

I like your foggies. Are they even functional to a decent extent or just there for cosmectic purposes? Those look like Optilux to me?? If so whick model.

its the kragen kind and if you aim them right they are awesome in teh mountains where turns are short. The reason is our cars are so low and our beams are so low we have to aim them up. So for far distance you cant; see the light reflect off anything but in the mountains when you've got mountain walls to reflect and up coming turns you will see it. I 've got projectors on my silvia front end and the light output of it sucks ass. thse fog lights trippled my vision in the mountains... no lie. and 20 bucks is well worth it and you have the option of swapping out the bulbs to possibly find a better one. I dunno matt what do you think about them ?

actually vvtisupra who just posted about the fog lights has some pretty good side shots of his car, He did it last weekend using the same roller as well as driftintoacurb from the board who owns it. But ill try and get some better close up side shots. As far as tips make sure to slice the paint with a razor and heat the inside of the fender to avoid cracking the paint.

where did you make your cut with the razor? did you run it right along by the 90 deg. before you rolled? ill see if i can find pics of the other 2 guys who used the thing. I still am curious on how long it took to do it though

didnt get any shots showing wheel fitment because he sold his low offset meshies and his car is temporarily on stock wheels till he gets his new rims
