Thank you sir! Hopefully sealing the deal on some wheels tomorrow.. Finally

 

What is this tool for?

 

It's for cutting the vinyl, no need to risk a razor up against the paint

 

Just pulled the trigger on some new wheels. Hopefully have them beginning of next week

 

interested in seeing what you went with

 

19" non rep multipiece
Hopefully have them on shortly, ordering tires today as well

 

so ordered some of the headliner parts finally:

picked up some plugs as a temporary fix to the screws, also ordered touch up paint from sewell so ill be painting them to match before popping them in (bumper will be getting replaced or repainted eventually

annnd wheels will be here tomorrow

 

 

COME ON!!! lol gotta give us a better teaser than that

 

They should be on the car next week, just waiting on tpms adapters.


Picked up some spare sensors to avoid downtime/hassle of swapping

 

So had some time for minor stuff today.
Took out the screws for the front plate and put in plugs (will be painting them as soon as I have the paint) and yes car needs a bath

In prep for the new wheels I trimmed down this bracket some more (still rubs under full u turn on stock wheels)
Before (already trimmed):

After (actually trimmed a bit more after I took this pic):

And test fitted and trimmed rear fenders:



I actually took my camera out and snapped real pics, ill post those up soon, still hoping to mount tires and have it all dialed in this coming week.

 

so here are the non cell phone pics of saturdays work:
all shaving done with my handy grinder and flap wheel, found this to work alot better then a grinding disc to control how much material was removed and keeping everything smooth and even

Fronts:

ground down this bracket a bit too

filed off any rough edges and sprayed it with some paint

Rears before:

taped and shaved (only took off a little bit, will redo if needed, didnt want to take too much off and ruin the fenders

I didnt take final pics but i filed and painted the rears to to prevent any corrosion.
might end up going back and rolling the rears. from what i rear though shaving > rolling in the rear due to the material being so thick, we shall see what needs to be done once tires are mounted and wheels are on. hopefully this helps some people, i know there is a lack of photos of fender trimming on here.
so far the front does not rub as bad as it did on full lock turns (still a little bit on the right side) I plan on retrimming if i can find out the contact point.
The plastic bumper brackets were also trimmed slightly on the inside to provide more clearance, but I didnt take too much off because they did not show wear.. just preventative trimming in prep for the new wheels.
if anyone has questions on what was trimmed or anything feel free to ask

 

All this fender work...what are your wheel specs????? i may need to do the same soon

 

They're honestly not that aggressive, but seeing how I rub now on stockers I can only imagine how it'll be once they go on.
Tires are ordered so they'll be on shortly, as well as a handful of other goodies

 

Not that I care for asanti, but these showed up, for the price I can't complain. Just need tires!
