So Work Japan ran out of XSA faces in R disk, My rear in O disk are complete, just waiting on the faces so the fronts can be assembled, ETA for my wheels are December + 6 weeks shipping to Canada.

I got kinda sick of riding on stock chrome.

Found these locally for super cheap...pretty much pocket change, thought i would pick them up for the time being...

SSR GT7
19x8 +45, 19x9.5 +50

Yeah i know, not the best fitment, but they still look okay. I need a 15-20mm spacer in the back and it'll be flush.

Those will be some nice winter wheels, good find Also go to the dealer and get the door molding replaced. Mine looked like yours which annoyed the hell out of me.

SO..... update


went into the body shop to get some hail damage removed, as well as my trunk repainted and JP spoiler put on... I asked them to check out a little rust spot i saw on the rear quarter turned out that it wasn't just a little rust spot...


The pics speak for themselves...











So i've given the body shop the go ahead to fix the rust, they quoted me 7 hours of labor, so we'll see how it turns out.
