    AU Trunk Lid

    Yeah just the license plate area and I would assume the lights on the trunk lid itself would be narrower to compensate. Assuming everything else is the same measurement wise means it'd fit fine. I don't see why getting one of these would be difficult. I'd imagine the shipping would be the...

    AU Trunk Lid

    So I was recently rear-ended and now need a new trunk lid. I wanted to get a hold of a trunk lid and lights from Australia for the wider look. Definitely not something you see over here in the states! I've been looking everywhere for this but can't find it. Anyone know how I could get my...

    Engine Mount Woes

    Thanks for letting me know about those noises and vibrations, Chris. I won't be going with mounts that strong because I want to avoid that. My old V6 coupe had dash and console vibrations out the *** and it was the most annoying thing in the world. Trying to steer clear of that with this sedan...

    Engine Mount Woes

    Thanks for those pictures Chris--I was looking for about an hour yesterday for a picture of those installed and not just a picture of them out of the box lol. Now knowing that there aren't any poly-transmission mounts for our cars, what do you think of me just filling the transmission mount...

    Engine Mount Woes

    Hey all-- Got a quick question for you guys regarding engine mounts and coilovers. I replaced the factory engine mounts with OEM ones back when I first got my car about 10 months ago. (btw, 99 2.3L 5-speed LX) They were great back in the day and then they started feeling loose. I brought my...

    Need to go lower--help!

    Okay so maybe I had the wrong info on the offset for the stock rims. I thought the steelies were something more like in the 20-30 range when I looked it up. In that case then the offset being an issue makes sense. What if I went for something like a 195/45-17 and had a little bit of a stretch...

    Need to go lower--help!

    Well I used the offset calculator and made sure the rims didn't stick out more than stock and they really don't. It's just the tires. I'm probably just better off getting a different set and stretching. Maybe something a little more low profile? It would solve the problem of rubbing in the front...

    Need to go lower--help!

    Really don't understand where the whole "not ready" and "too soon" is all about--I'm just looking to have a question answered. 1, the tire physically rubs at times in the front. 2, I'm asking because I don't want to mess anything up on the car. Obviously the fender liners and whatever else is...

    Need to go lower--help!

    If I really would be able to wedge the liner into the tabs that are rolled then that would be great. I don't really see how I'd be able to do that without stretching the liner though. I just really don't want to run without the liners because of gunk getting thrown into the engine compartment...

    Need to go lower--help!

    The tire does ballon out though, that's my issue. I can get the rolled that's fine I just don't want to be running in the front without liners. Where do the tabs get relocated to? Sorry it's dark and rainy here, but some photos for y'all!

    Need to go lower--help!

    I'd love to know myself! The tire runs so wide that it's about 8 inches wide if I actually go and measure the width of it. I don't understand it. The tires are amazing with traction and handling, I just can't get the hight I want because of the rubbing issue. It makes no sense how 205s are...

    Need to go lower--help!

    I know I'd like to avoid getting new tires but if that's what's gonna have to happen for me to have the height that I want then it might be worth it. Here's some info on the wheel: Size: 17x7 Offset: 42mm Backspacing: 5.63" Bolt Pattern: 4-114.3 Rec. Tire Size: 205/45-17 Weight: 15.0lbs. &...

    Need to go lower--help!

    Hey ladies and gents-- I recently dropped my car on F2 coilovers and got myself some 17x7 wheels with 205 bf goodrich gforce tires. I just installed a yakima rack and now want to go lower to since the rack made the car look a lot higher. My problem with going lower is that the front wheels...

    Re: *UPDATE*(3/12/13).....Vlads Gold Sedan!!!!!!!!! Car's looking sick, Vlad! I'm looking at some blue/white/gray/black plaid to wrap the 6 pillars, center console, back deck & shift boot in. How many yards/feet did you end up ordering when you did your panels? I don't want to get the wrong...

    FS: Sold!

    Re: XXR 962 18x8.5 +35 Gold (florida only) If you'd allow me to pay the shipping on them, I'll take them. Was just looking at your member's ride page the other day and decided to get the 962s in gold because of your setup. Any way I could get these over to NY?
