This weekend:

Enkei 18 x 7.5 Evo 5 (Bronze) w/ 225/40/18 Nitto NT555 (blue aluminum lugs)
Eibach Sportline Springs
Eibach Front and Rear Camber kits.

Apparently this was not a wise combination. Kept the drop. Replacing the wheels and tires.

Yeah were are the pics at?

SolarX · 03-04-2008, 08:34 PM

Taking some pics tomorrow..will post. Car is dirty, it rained today

I will add that I really like the drop. much more responsive with hardly any sacrifice in ride quality. Im back on stock Si rims till I get some new ones.
Pondering on:

Enkei Evo 5 (Gunmetal or Bronze)
Enkei Evo 6 (Hyperblack or Black)
HFPs

Still have to do the clear headlight mod.

SolarX · 03-05-2008, 08:48 PM

Thinking about getting the same style in a 17 x 7 with a 214/40/17

or some HFPs. Opinions appreciated.

brazilianguy · 03-05-2008, 10:01 PM

looks hot

SolarX · 03-10-2008, 08:30 PM

Ordered these with some Falken FK-452 214/45/17

Personally I just slow worked on one corner with my fingernail gently till it started to lift. Used a little Goo Gone to get it started and then just slowly peeled it off.

SolarX · 03-16-2008, 01:47 AM

Got the headlights cleared. All that time just to remove 4 small pieces of oragne plastic. But it looks much better. Pics tomorrow if its nice out.

SolarX · 03-16-2008, 11:10 PM

New angle shot to show off the lowering from the springs and the new cleared out headlights. Also the new fogs.

Waiting for a nice weather weekend to do my laminex film. Headlights and fogs (yellow)

ameuba10 · 03-16-2008, 11:18 PM

cant wait to see updates!

SolarX · 03-30-2008, 10:48 PM

I went to install the film this weekend. I got the precut film from Corsport.

The foglights were not too bad for application although both were cut smaller than the actual lense. (I have OEM foglights.) You couldnt tell frm about 10 ft away..or when they were on..but if you were close and looking at the color difference almost looked like the lense was cracked.

As far as the headlights go. I would really like to see someones close up shots that have done it. Either the sheets I got were just cut way off or they have poor fitment. I spent almost an hour just trying to get the right headlight film on correctly. But the slight bulge they cut a groove for would simply not line up for me. If someone can provide some input I'd really appreciate it.

Also...how long do you need to leave the film on the foglights before you actually turn the foglights on?
