Are those headlights DIY or did you have a shop do them for you? I'm loving that look.

 

it was already done when i bought the car from previous owner but he did say he had everything done at a shop. Looks easily enough just gotta split the housing prep and paint. There DYI all over youtube. Hardest part probably is removing the light. Might have to remove the bumper cover

 

I have someone that can customize headlights, does really good job pm me for info

 

Very nice! I personally like the way you have it now. Well done! Maybe go with a totally new body kit? Add a splitter on your side skirts and front? Rear diffuser. OEM spoiler looks great also.

 

Drop it a little....

 

No way I got tien coilovers she scraps even at the highest setting right now on certain bumps and driveways I'm happy the way it sits. Kind might wanna get 35 over the 30 I'm currently running

 

I need your advice guys. My car is stock exterior wise except plasti dipped wheels and painted calipers. For my next "mod" if you will, should I go with a ts or zele front bumper or a carbon ams duckbill trunk? Let me know what you think.

 

All depends what ur style is if Ure into the racing look then yea. Throw a carbon fiber good too but don't buy VIS racing they are horrible. Get some coilovers

 

I'm lowered on eibach springs at the moment. Wish I went with basic coilovers being as the I install price for springs was basically as much as coils.

 

I like that color.
What color/brand paint did you use and is sanding required?
Seems like a lot of effort to sand off the paint in all those corners and crevices.

 

It's called "burnt copper" and made by VHT. I sanded as the paint sticks a lot better.

 

Thanks, did you sand the calipers down to bare metal or just to scuff up the original coat?
Also, did you prime it or just spray the final color.
Did you clear coat it as well?

I have a set of decals, just waiting for a day when I have the time to remove paint and wait for curing.

 

Sanded them down pretty well but not over the top. Could've sanded for hours but got them down to the point of a little transparency between the paint and metal. I didn't prime of clear coat so I can touch them up if need be. Hope that helps

 

How does one measure how close the tire should be to the fender for "the right look"
as far as spacers go? We talking MMs btwn the tire and the upper center edge of the fender?

Someone mentioned above about spacers causing lugs to snap, is there a safe limit or are spacers inherently stressful on lugs?

I have a set of 5mms I'm putting on my kid's Juke Nismo and I want to make sure she's safe.

And I might consider edging out my stock 19" sport wheels on my '13 G

So I guess the question is do I need lugged spacers for any kind of use or only if they are beyond a certain thickness?

 

Just what I wanted to know. Thanks.
