I've been debating myself about getting angel eyes, but rather like the look of stock.
Thank you! I’ve toyed around a lot with buying a set of Euro Halogens and retrofitting halos but I just don’t see the cost-benefit working out. Yes, Xenons are better all around but I don’t think it’s worth the 1k+ to properly retrofit OEM parts.

Very much so!! Just enough drop and with the Dinan camber plates, it’s perfectly level. I was worried the front would be too low but it’s gonna be perfect. Very stock-ish feel around town, not harsh by any means.

Thanks! It’s been truly rewarding building this over the past 9 months or so. My issue now is I want to supercharge it........ but that seems irresponsible for a DD!

Pics don’t do justice to this car. Saw it in person and man, the Black on Terra Cotta is just spot on. Let’s take ours to the track some time b1aze when you can, you’ll love your car even more!

Car looks great!

Quick question about your wheel fitment with the Enkeis: 17x9 et50 with 12mm spacer in the rear, 255/40 tire. Did that fit without the hub/rotor swap?

Very light roll in the rear, could probably fit a 10mm spacer without a roll. But it’s also lowered a bit which adds a hair of camber

Hate to see her go but had to sell her. Congrats to the new owner background ! Treat her right and maybe I’ll get to own her again one day!
