Would love to see more of it without the kit, before you are planning on putting it back on.

Were you still considering powder coating those wheels black?

I am looking to buy after new year and considering murdering one out.
I'd really hope not, as he's already paid for them to be specifically gunmetal.

I may still do it later on but for now they will stay gunmetal. If I flat black wrap the car next spring then yes, they will be powder coated flat black.

Not rubbing any more . I raised the rear 3/8" and solved the problem. Your offset and tire choice will both affect rubbing potential. I would start by looking HERE and HERE Keep in mind that I was lowered over 2" with 9.5" wide wheels and a +35 offset

They do not come in black, so there is no other option to get them in black other then purchase them in silver or gunmetal and DIY, which earlier he said he was considering.

Lol yes I know this.... I was researching these wheels this time last year.

I was also considering stealth chrome. Which is cool.

5:AD is the best company I've ever dealt with. I'm very happy of their workmanship and can't wait to buy rims next!

So I started woking on making the interior look right. The aftermarket Kenwood HU looked horrible with the metra dash kit so I bought the Enfig one which didn't work but it is serving it's purpose. I chopped it up and epoxied it to the dash trim panel. Layered in bondo and have filled to a good starting point and now I just need to contour it and wrap it. Removing the factory wrap was a total pain in the ass but here are the results so far. I also had to re-drill the factory radio brackets to recess the HU a bit since the Kenwood I have has a motorized face it sticks out. Cant wait to wrap it tomorrow... hopefully.

Wrapped the dash and other interior parts today. Need more vinyl to do the silver piece on the steering wheel and that should be it.
