So I FINALLY got my new tires on!



I think it's much better, even though there's more wheel gap now that'll be fixed in the next few weeks. ;)
I'll order the coils after my next paycheck (Friday).

What do yall think so far?

What's up ladies

So I finally bought my KSports yesterday
They should be here sometime next week.

But after sitting in the garage for 3 months I am selling my stock wheels. I will make a thread in the classifieds and post a link here if any of you might be interested.

Other than that, nothing else new here.

(The whiteish looking stickers are actually supposed to be neochrome, the pics don't do it justice. Still meh in person though)

I also ordered my tires Sunday, and they should be here during the week. For you fellow tire nerds I went with the Hankook Ventus V12's, 225/40r18. They should give a pretty moderate stretch, enough to fit when I lower it.
Hopefully I can get them mounted this weekend. I will probably be selling my current tires afterwards, so let me know if any of you would be interested in them. I'll put them in the classifieds.

After I get that done... COILOVERS B1TCHES
love it bro, keep up the work. ive got the k sports. they are great! Love what would jezza do! hilarious

I know it's been all quiet-like up in here but I finally put on the KSports!
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy







Now I have no excuse to stay in from all these shows around here. I've definitely been slacking on the meets because I wanted to wait until I had the car the way I wanted it, and now that it's the way I want it... You get the idea.

As for what's next, I want to try to save some money but that new RS ducktail spoiler is pretty frickin sexy...

I noticed that you took off the A piller flat black trim.. was it painted underneath?

Yes and no.

Yes, the a pillar is painted underneath, but I suggest you find some sort of small tool to help you pull the vinyl off, your fingers will thank you later.

And I didn't have any lights with the intake, just make sure to reset your ECU after you install it (unplug the neg. on the battery for a few minutes)

scion wanted a certain look. as if the glass wraps all the way around like a cockpit.

its cheaper and quicker to paint the entire frame X color and then wrap that portion in black, than to paint that section black, mask it, then paint the frame X color

No I bought them from a friend that was parting out, he had them custom made. Good luck trying to get the same stuff lol
