JT2MA71's 2014 UW build
I'm really liking that blocky 265/40/18 look, I might have to do that all around! Overall looks very sorted. Would 18x9.5 +45 ZE40 clear in front? or 19x.9.5 +45
I considered it but went with 265/35. I was not sure about unrolled fender clearance on soon be static drop w/ natural camber but seeing them on your ze40s is

Did you check for a loose cover or missing gasket on the headlight??
Sometimes that does the trick..
Also your swapping the Torsen LSD for the OS Giken??
I just finished putting the RC F Torsen LSD in mine..
Are you going to use a donor open diff for this project ?

I’m planning to find a used diff as a donor for the OS.
What do you think of the SiKKY cf driveshaft? Thinking of getting one!

^^ Nice.. This will keep you busy for a weekend 
Details on lower grill mesh ??
I always wanted a lower CF lip, but I know it will get wrecked on my daily commute.
Definitely odd for the light to fog up, guess when you do the swap you might be able to see if there is a cover out of alignment or even bad gasket on ballast.
No experience with the CF drive shaft...
As a daily fwy queen, I limit parts that can potentially add considerable NVH for me.

I honestly have not inspected the headlight, I’d have to take it apart to clean the inside of the lense and didn’t want to go through that.

It’s aluminum so it’s really easy to work with.
