I'm pleased with the result. Still needs to be polished and crap.

Does anyone know what a good wheel spacer would be for the rear?

Are ya going to drop it?, If so, 15mm may just be at that edge of a fender shave. For mine, 10mm will be just about right but YMMV.

The monotone looks great, especially with the chrome wheels. I would love to get mine painted. Really updates the look of the car.

u want the 1.50 version as that is the thread for the LS

i wouldnt buy from them though, they're local to me and have a bit of a rep for overcharging. at least, they used to

id try hitting up a vendor first to see if u can pull a better price for say a 20mm and DONT FORGET THE HUB RINGS!
