Probably, you don't know how the real deal look like.

If you do, you will realize it is replica right away.

the thing is that since the rims stick out from the fender, it's started to get A LOT of rock chips in it...you can see the paint just coming off the rims...

so my thought was to get a cheaper set of rims to just drive on it day to day...

i dunno tho... maybe i'll just get another daily driver or something...

i'll take pics of the chips later...

anyone else have this problem???

Cardboard? Or is that just a template for something else?

got the springs on (thanks to ilocke for the springs)...fronts were easier to do than the first gen IS300 and the MKIV's fronts...



the rears are just a bit harder but not a big deal...


also shaved the rear fenders since they were rubbing when it was stock height...with the offest of the ADVAN's so agressive...

thing is, the AFS light came on so i had to fix it this morning...

waiting for the car to settle then i'll take some pics...

since i had the truck apart, took the opportunity to fix some stuff in the trunk... getting stuff all ready for the show coming up...

Wow your car is coming along nicely, only 20 days left buddy ~ keep modding!

I like your cardboard intake idea, just wrap it in aluminum foil or back it up with some ABS plastic to give it some rigidity! My friend did this for his e36 m3 back in the day and worked great if constructed right.

Seeing your Advans' makes it harder to wait for mine, just kinda worried about the chipping issue, very odd since I never heard of this problem on s2000's even with the wide fitments....


btw I'll be in Fremont this week so if you want me to drop off a rear diffuser for you let me know!
