Here are some updates...

Exhaust is done. Studs and spacers are on. Wheels are test fitted. The sparcos didnt fit on the corbeau rails, so we started welding some more metal onto them to make them fit. The exhaust is waiting on gaskets and then it will be done, but its all bolted up right now. Bumper is in for paint tomorrow morning. Fenders will be rolled very soon as well. Everything is coming together, pretty much done... Here are some pics of the car and the shop:

offset is pretty much perfect...

You can see where he had to extend the y-pipe by about an inch... we are going to spray the exhaust so it wont rust.

seats sitting in the car while we make brackets...

mike grinding the rails down to weld the metal onto them:

waiting patiently to come home

The wheels were a killer deal, Gram Lights 57s in gold, 18x8.5 40 offset with a 5mm spacer in the rear.

They would rub if I drive the car in the rear, Ive got to roll the fenders and maybe even pull them ever so slightly to make it so they wont.

Thanks for the compliments, Im loving the new look!

what did you do to the fog lights? they look dark! looks nice damon you are light years ahead of most! you should probably sell me that pillar pod so that you can get some else...hahaha!

by **CamryOnBronze** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 9:11 pm

^ haha, Im drilling it into the pillar right now Im afraid :lol:

I put a tint film over the headlights, got it on ebay... it was the lighter option but I went with two layers to make it a littl darker, I think it matches well.

oh man...I JUST saw the rest of this thread and its updates after your pm over on TN...

those wheels are hot....and the whole time I kept remembering them as SSRs instead of Rays....

aluminum wheel lugs eh...hmmm...maybe need to try those in the future...you know...to save some "weight" as well...

and that is an amazing looking shop.....I wish there was something like that around here....either toronto or new york...
