Installed the clear bra today.

Put it on:
Front Bumper
12 inches into the hood
Head lights
fenders
rear view mirrors
rear fender splash guards

Here is the outline of the rear splash guard to give you an idea of the size I did:

This was all custom done without a kit. Just a roll of 3M bra material.

I really want some 17 inch wheels for my car, but I had these 18x9's just sitting in the garage, and figured I would size them up. they are probably perfect for someone that wants really aggressive fitment on one of these cars though. I do realize there is a lot of wheel gap, but to be fair, there was already a lot of wheel gap anyway.

I bought wheels.

Tanuki · 08-31-2012, 12:44 AM

Wheels came today. No tires yet, but I threw one on the car just for kicks.

Nice wheels! TE-37s are my fav's. Where did you get em?

Tanuki · 08-31-2012, 04:06 PM

^Yeah. Since the 17' offsets stink on all of the te37's, it was a hard decision. I think these should be good though.

Well I think a lot of you know I have a company called turtle factory. We have been developing some parts for the car, and this one is very close to production. Luckily for me, I am the only person that works here with an frs, so I will get to keep the first one

. Kind of a teaser pic, but I will post more angles as I am cleared to do so. This is a full deck lid replacement, not a tape/ glue on part.

I decided to go ahead and mount my tires even though the new car won't be here for a couple of months. I can't stand looking at brand new wheels sitting in my dining room every day. For stock ride height, they seem to fit pretty well. I am excited to drop it a little still though.
