the bpillar overlay adds a subtle distinction, accentuates our windows' sexy curves...very nice.

Default hood struts

He got the hood struts from me. Send me a PM or better yet email me at vintage_car@yahoo.com for details.

The struts look great, nice clean install!

Default Re: hood struts

Yes the struts were an overall easy install and they work great......The wheels are A-tech Erasers .. however they do look a little like the ssr type c

I like those wheels also. Where did you get them at? I did some searching, but could not find much.

In the US they are sold under the name of MB Motorsports
Weapons......check here
and for those that are lazy - here

These wheels are surprisingly inexpensive - as far as quality - no complaints here

Thanks ...
Details on wheels:
Size - I went with a controversial setup - I'm running 18x9 with a 38 offset on all 4.....the back fits fine - the fronts are close:


The tires - i'm running 255/40 on all 4 as well....this puts the fronts at 255/40-18 = 26.03 (+0.06) - stock for 18's is 225/45-18 = 25.97. the rears on mine - 255/40-18 = 26.03 (-0.65) and stock is 245/45-18 = 26.68.
I was worried about this at first but now that i have them , you cannot tell the rear is a little lower....the handling is awsome , it sticks through hard turns - no more plowing....
with the tires on:

This is the front - had plenty of room on the rears....this is also with no spacers. the fronts fit wonderfly with no spacer....they are pretty flush - in just a hair which i like.

the rears are good too without spacers...they are not as tucked as they were stock...they work good and look good however i'm picky and i think they are in about 10mm - i also want to keep them slighty wider than the fronts - so i'm getting a 10mm spacer for them soon.

I can also fully rotate my tires now too

weight - 48.5lbs with tires on them...stock 17's with tires were 50.5 lbs I beleive just the rim alone was about 22 lbs

I'm sure i'll get heat on my tire size from some people but oh well i like them. And like i said it doesn't make the back looked dropped at all , i cannot tell and i looked pretty hard.
