Thanks guys. I bought the ordens from a fellow CL member here. Specs are 19x12 -5 rears. and 18x10.5 +1 fronts i believe. Tires were 285/30/19 but they did not work. I tried stretching 255/35/19 but the bead did not sit properly. Even with 265/30/19 I would have to raise my car and have it poke a lot with stretch that is a little too much for me. I decided to sell it for the same price I got it for to my friend with the 240sx. I'm in the process of looking for a little less aggressive pair of ordens. 19x11 and 19x10 non step lip and 0 to -10 offset. And I didn't want to adjust my camber as it already sits at 3.5.

Wet sand, polish, and clear coat.
HUD for laughs looks good if I do say so myself
Took apart the Stance coilovers. Shocks checked out good. Need new dust boots (not sure if I do need it) and new front rubber bushings (called stance and they will replace the whole lower unit that screws into the strut!)
And.... a pic for the record!
Need to finish this front bumper already
Here's a couple of my friend Thomas and I. Don't mind the instagram edit! (follow us

Haven't updated in a while so ... I've laid down some fiber glass today. First time ever doing this kind of thing. Going to bondo the blemishes in the front of the bumper tomorrow. Then sand and primer. And a tip for anyone who would want to try to fiber glass for their first time, use masks or respirators. I didn't use either and I think I inhaled a lot of resin.

Got most of the bondo/fiber glass down. Still need to touch up a lot. Laid down a light coat of some random pearl white I had laying around so there would be no black/white/pink spots.

New color soon! So I will just fix up the blemishes on my bumpers, flares, and trunk and it's off for paint!
Update : Stance finally shipped out my order... a week after I placed it on the phone. Nice customer service but very slow.
