Vader'd out
 
Had the wheels since march and finally threw them on. Apologies for the crappy pics, my camera is old as sin...

Im running JIC FLT RS 11K fronts, 14K rears which are extremely stiff and virtually no body roll or rubbing issues whatsoever. Will be adding hotchkis sways in the not too distant to further aide the suspension

I should also mention that nitto nt05s run a tiny bit shorter in width then a lot of the other 265 tires. the wheel and tire combo is pretty much the absolute maximum size you can without any issues, unless you have springs which still have a lot of body roll. I guess you could have some rubbing issues then

Looks good man. Did you do the headlight housing yourself? Also, just a suggestion, if you're going for the blacked out theme do the emblems as well or debadge.

Yes I pulled apart the headlights and painted them myself, its actually quite easy. As far as black out theme, I am heavily going in that direction but Im not going entirely black out theme, no tint for me, just not a fan. I do want to change the emblem color to a darker metallic one just havent decided on a color yet.

What did you personally use on the headlights? I've seen a bunch of write ups, but like to know the different ways people did them. Yours came out great it seems. Tint definitely isn't for everyone, but a darker metallic emblem/s would look sweet.

nice shots!

Plasti-Dip, I pulled out the reflecter and masked off the lens and other areas i didnt want to paint on. The great thing about Pasti-Dip is that it dries into a rubber vinyl so that if you ever want to go back to stock you can pull it all off.

looks great, i think you should get rid of the front mitsu chrome badge

inhocaviles Oct 2, 2010 06:13 PM

Nice!!! Can't help thinking I've seen this setup before! {thumbup}

total0wnage Oct 2, 2010 07:09 PM

Nice, I like the theme, I plan on blacking out my housing also - just need the time

I'd re-think the bling bling mud flaps. Everything else looks good.
