Thanks vbb. I've gotta roll/trim the rear fenders for sure. It looks like I may have to with the fronts too, but based on your experience, I may be able to get away with them. I love the mesh on the SF winning. My dream rims though might be the BBS LM-R which are mesh as well. On my previous car (STi), I had CE28Ns in black with polished lip. Have been a huge fan of Volks ever since.

he says new black out headlight meaning the new headlight LED 2012 , lolz . U can do your black housing by using a head gun adn pry out the cover paint and sealed it back up but there's chance for moisture later to get in. i had it done on my previous car. Just make sure u tested by wrapped up and immerse into the bucket of water to tested if there any leakage before install back to your car

I wish I had the LED headlights! I just painted the stockers. I did this to my old WRX as well by removing the bulbs and baking them to loosen up the seal to take them apart. When I removed the ISF headlights, I was like "holy $#!+, this is the most complicated headlight I've ever seen!" So instead of removing the gazillion parts on each headlight, I ended up using a heat gun instead which took a lot longer to break the seal than baking, but saved me the trouble of figuring out how to remove all the parts.

Installed the volks! Pictures updated on the first post. So the rears are a little too aggressive. How do you guys recommend fixing this? I'm thinking fender roll/pull. Only problem with that is that there isn't anyone around here who does that. I know of a place that trims fenders, but right now, that would cut into the tires. So, maybe an adjustable upper control arm? That way I can camber it in, and then trim the fenders? I could use some advice. Good thing I didn't put on the rear drop springs yet.
