Thanks guys. Still looking around for a good price on a vinyl wrap on the roof, and been looking at some clear side markers. Just need to bite the bullet.

Are you gonna wrap it yourself? The vinyl itself isn't too pricy. I had never dealt with vinyl before, but with the help of a friend I did a section of my car that was fairly easy.

I wasn't planning to. The best local price I've seen so far was $190. I was looking for a little less than that. I'm just wondering how hard it is with the sun roof if I were to try it myself.

There's tons of tutorials online.

^^ they have some good ones.

The roof wrap looks pretty easy with no sun roof. I'll look some up to see if there are any with a sun roof. I may give that a shot.

Ordered these guys from Ebay to try out.

I'm not always thrilled with stuff from Ebay, but for $30 it's worth trying.

Still waiting on the side markers. I'm hoping they show up today, but worst case Monday. I washed the car this morning, and tried my hand at some touch up paint on my hood and bumper. The metallics are a little runny, but that just made it easy to get an even fill on some of the bigger chips. I didn't snap any pics since I imagine it would be tough to see the result.

Markers came in, they look pretty good on the car.

What color bulbs did you go with?

The bulb is chrome, but burns amber.

I need to talk rims for a minute. I've read the fitment thread a few times, but I'm still not grasping it. I guess to give you an idea, I'd like a non-staggered 8-9" wide rim. I don't do stretched tires, or tucked setups. I'll try to find a pic of a setup I like in terms of fitment.

Edit: I'd like this type of fitment.

So I've been doing my reading and research.

Stock setup is: 215/60-16 @ 7.5" +50
I'm looking at something like 255/40-18 @ 8.5" +35 or +20.

I'm not opposed to fender rolling, but I don't want to have to do major fender work. I also know that 255 is very meaty for 8.5, so I'd consider 245. Anyone have any input on issues I may run into? My future also entails some df210s...

Go +35 with a 255/40 for what you are trying to achieve. FYI the rear fenders dimple when rolled so most people shave or cut them. You will probably find some guy that will say he can roll them without damage but 99% of the time they'll still dimple them.
