Got the dreaded email that the tires I ordered are back ordered for 8 weeks :/
Different tires will hopefully be on their way tomorrow, and one of two Sewell orders got shipped today. Getting anxious to toss everything on!

Tossed on the weatherstripping and the red outs. Need to fix one of the edges but after seeing them in person I'm not 100% sold. The difference in the gloss doesn't really make them appealing to me. Idk maybe ill leave them for a bit and see if they grow on me. Eventually will be getting the clear '11-12 versions anyways. OEM >*

Pretty happy with how they sit in general. Front needs to come down a tad and rear fenders need a little more grinding. Doesn't rub at all, but the clearance is rather tight so I would like to make it a little less sketchy

Thanks guys!
No lips for me, personally hate any stuck on lips. Gfx skirts are already on and that's the only change besides some body work to the bumpers further down the road

OEM parts > wrapped parts any day. Do it once and do it right
Headliner will be going in on Tuesday if all goes as planned. Have all the parts, just need the time
