Nice lights. Have some pics from the front?

I have been looking at another set for the truck we just bought. There was a arguement on FB between DDM and TRS. And what I got from it was they both get their stuff from china. So I went to aliexpres and did some pricing. $90 shipped for the H1 kit. Kind of tempting. I will have to see what I want more.

The HID upgrade is one of my favorite mods. I makes driving at night a lot better. And my light output is better than most Lexus, acura etc that I see.

nice work as always

Oh and the Power folding mirrors are one of the upgrades I want. That and the stainless door things

Thank man. HID retrofits are the best!



The light retrofit DIY starts on page 39 of my MRT. Or click here.

I found some rims i like but am debating if I should go with a 42 or 45 offset with 205/40/17 tires, lowered 2 1/2" on tein super streets, does anyone have any recommendations?

I know 35 offset does not work and nor does 38. I'm thinking 42 is even pushing it. And I do not want to run camber.

Oh, these are the rims...

bruh,
thanks for tellin me to check out your MRT. took me a minute to get through 57 pages but once i got to the videos it was all worth it. it gets me excited for what the next month has in store. i love the lights! i tried the whole yellow out my high beam side with the window glass paint thing but once i started laying it on all the chrome fell off so now there jus ugly.

i have a gauge pod i think you will be interested in seeing. ill post pics on my thread in a few weeks when i get home.

on your valve cover, you should look into a high temp clear http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=997337_0_0_

i had mine jus rough sanded and after about 8 months i looked at it and it was pitting and corroding real bad

awesome stuff man, great lookin car

45 should fit, but 205/40's are rubber bands imo. I don't know how good your roads are, but I would do 45, 50. I like meat on my wheel.

Thanks man. Glad you stopped by!

I mean +45 offset. +45 is the OEM rim for the car. I know +35's won't fit and so I'm not sure if I should go with +42 or +45. And I have some 45's now on the tires I have and I hate them. It's just too much sidewall / rubber.

I run about 1° of camber in the front. I don't notice accelerated wear and rotate my wheels regularly.

Ya, i'm not touching this argument with a 10' pole I want 0 camber.

[wildBill83]

I'm not trying to argue. Even factory camber is allowed up to 1°. Any more than that and you will see the uneven wear.

Yep I agree. Toe is the #1 cause of tire wear followed 2nd by camber. What setup are you running WildBill?

Not even a liiiiiiiiiitle camber? A little goes a long way with turn in and stability under load.

No race tracks in my areas. No camber needed.

Gotcha.

How's it going with the wheels?

[Raf99]

Gotcha.

How's it going with the wheels?

The new ones, I'm selling them. They simply won't work on my car and I don't like them. So now I have to buy new wheels with a different offset. Newbie mistake when it comes to offset. It sucks but oh well.....

As for the pic of the wheels I want up above, i think they only come in 5 bolt. But i'm looking into it....

As for the car..... well something broke on it.... kind of. I hit boost cutoff one day and after that its been sounding like a subaru. The A/F gauge is all over the place. The tuner and I are thinking its the distributor but we are not sure at the same time.... , going to have to play the guessing game for a bit here which sucks.
