Dude, you'd have to be mad talented to make my car look even passable right now. Unless you've got some special fx equipment or have been practicing your PS skills. Can't do those cool, low angle JDM shots because you'd see my door dings, paint swirls, and my STILLEN skirt needs to be molded onto the rear bumper.
You can try one of those blurry shots like Woody has to cover all the flaws.... :0[

to use yours correctly, you will need studs that extend farther than the OE studs.
just saying, its probably more labor intensive (costly) to replace all OE studs with longer versions rather than use spacers w/ built-in studs.
and FYI i cant fathom how they use a 600ft/lbs and 1000ft/lbs and they didnt break loose.
were the spacers on it when you bought it?

It really isn't labor intensive at all......I use the ARP studs....which are VERY long. Only downside is you will have to run open ended lugs with them. They are far stronger than any of the bolt-on aftermarket spacers, nismo studs, and H&R units. It was actually cheaper than as well.....something like 250 for everything (20 studs,(2) 15mm spacers, (2) 20mm spacers.

BTW in Japan they use spacers on TONS of drift cars no probelm. And they take their wheels and spacers on and off and swap them all the time.

You won't find a wheel to wheel racer in the U.S that uses integrated spacers.....there is a reason for it........they are garbage. Those spacers are also 120-150 per pair.....not all 4.
Also, I have seen stock studs break several times.....why put an extra load on them with those spacers when the cost is roughly the same for far superior, stronger studs.
