After I switched to the rotas I actually don't need extended studs on front or rear.

I will post up the link to where I bought them tomorrow.

Yeah I need the extended studs for my spacers I have to use for the 15x7 Slipstreams I'm using to clear the brakes up front.

I was thinking about it, but it sounds like a bad time with my angle grinder in the garage lol.

Finally had my friend mount up the tires today. They fit and look pretty good.





Rear:




Front: Not bolted on because I need to throw on my ARP extended studs still. There will be a 10mm spacer behind the wheel.



Going to be putting these EVO 9 MR tail lights on the car, except i'm adding special vinyl to them so they appear as EVO 9 JDM tails

I added the amber/orange vinyl to the 9 MR tails.

Before


Orange/amber transparent found on ebay for under $10. It's pretty thick.


Create template


Cut vinyl then apply water/soap solution to the headlight surface and on top of the vinyl


Get all air bubbles out with a squeegee/vinyl applicator/or credit card. Use a heatgun while doing this if there are any imperfections.


Done


Now to enjoy some JDM IX tails

Thanks man! Yeah, can't go wrong doing it! Save some good dollars too instead of buying the real thing.
