Thanks man!! I was eyeballing your post in the gram lights 57CR thread...I have my set coming on the way, couldn't be more excited. Your car looks amazing!

For today's update, installed my black edition Valenti tail light's. Very happy with how they look in real life.

Very nice car especially after you got it lowered.

BTW, which bolt did you break? How did that happen to such a new car which should be easy to undo bolts and nuts?

It's a smaller bolt holding the brake line to the strut. It was a defective bolt, my torque wrench didnt click at 30 lbs and it just tore off =_=. It was a real pain to take out.

Tire size is 17x9, +38. I'm running BC Racing BR coilovers and using stock rear LCA's, but I do have some adjustable SPC LCA's coming in tomorrow.

I'm usually not a friend of the facelift front, but in this color, lowered and with those wheels it looks absolutly gorgeous.

Very tastefull 86 you've got there!
