Love it man...I've been thinking about getting this kit but I'm scared of the fiberglass. I wish Shine Auto would have made this kit in their hybrid fiberglass which is flexible. Which company did you use and what wheel size are you running?

sides and rear are rep. bought em second hand so I knew they fit. front is authentic vertex. you can definitely see a difference between real and fake. the front fits like a glove. the wheels are 19x9 and 10.6 both offsets are -6. fronts are highdisc and rears are low disc.

so what exactly did they do to your wheels to change to offset? i have some Volks that i need to be more aggressive and they are GT-S 2 piece. do they widen the hoops? very curious.

The break the weld on the face to the barrel, machine both pieces then they figure out new offset and weld the face to the barrel again!

Ok finally had a free day to pull the rear fenders. My oem hardware is maxed at 3* of camber along with natural camber to bring them in. Once again rear specs are 19x10.5 et-6. One eastwood roller broke, but finally got another one to do the pull. Took a while and pulled it a lil over an inch maybe 1.5". If i drop to a 235 series tire im sure the lip and fender would meet. Now I have to readjust the bag perch on the megans to dial in ride hight, parking lot height and well parked height i just deflate it.

SO since everyone keeps saying they like my car BUT...i need to do my headlights I decided to listen.
I took them apart and cleaned everything. Then i wet sanded the lens 400-800-1000-1500-2000-2500. Here is the end result. I used plastiX to polish the inside and out just to give you an idea. I will be taking the lens to paint shop and have them clear coat and further polish the lens. Then i will retrofit them with audi TT d2s type HID projectors with a 3.5k or 4k heat range (which ever is pure white).
My question to you all is do you wet sand the inner housing clear corner marker lens?
