What do you mean JDM look? I have white Hids and white switch backs that turn to amber when I hit the turn signal then yellow fogs at the bottom. What do the JDM ones look like?

I love the clear corners! Is that what you where talking about? For the JDM look? Where can you get those? I would also love some folding mirrors. Do you know where I cn get those too?

All the help with these things would be great.

Ok well I had to change all four tires to a bigger set!

The 215/35 on the 18x9.5 where too much stretch for the rims and they would leak air slowly over a couple days and they all four would be flat in the morning and would be popped off the bead so I couldn't air them back up

So in turn I changed them to 215/40 which doesn't seem like a big difference but when u slam a car and stance it! That tire is a lot bigger so it rubs a little bit but not too bad and the bead sets a lot better and I put some black sticky stuff on it to help hold the bead!

So I think I might want to go a little lower��

Hey at least the tires didn't pop during hard cornering. Be careful!

Send me a PM if you want the folding mirrors, I bought an extra set when I did mine they are up for sale in the FS section. Would love to get them to someone who can use them and I will help you get them wired up not hard to do, unless you make it super complicated like I tend to do ha.

I love your car man! It's one of the cleanest ES' I've seen in a long time. After seeing your car I'm going to go buy an ES300.

Keep up the good work!

Were those tire photos taken after you went up a size? The stretch looks very extreme, but then again I'm no expert.
