cool. thanks. ill give them a shout once i figure wth i want to do for winter wheels/tires.

 

Hey just wondering about why you switch wheels between winter and summer

 

few reasons I switch back to the stock wheels for winter:

1. It's slightly cheaper to go with an 18" winter tire as opposed to the 19" wheel that I use for summer. Also, having a thinner tire is generally better for traction in winter
2. The stock wheels site inside the wheel wells which is generally better for not having all the rocks and salt being spit up all over the side of your car
3. In the long run, it's a bit cheaper I find to just swap out wheels instead of changing the tire over. Swapping wheels over you can do on your own however swapping tires over isn't something a normal person can do without the proper tire machine.

 

Update: Blackpearl side skirt all painted and installed



Side skirts painted and installed

 

I don't see anywhere on seibon for your diffuser. Can you post the link or part number for it? Thanks man. Your red wheels are awesome.

 

Hi BostonIS,

I apologize for the confusion, I used to have a seibon rear diffuser on but now I have switched over to the BlackPearl complete bodykit.

You can find it here www.blackpearl-1.com

 

Ah I see, thanks man. It looks very similar to the Skipper style diffuser I'm looking into buying but been finding it difficult to find a trustworthy seller thats not on ebay shipping from Taiwan. Lol I'm just worried it'll arrive damaged and it says they won't cover damage...

Hey I was wondering what ever happened to your rear diffuser and side skirt? You wouldn't have them still would you?

 

Hey man. i realized you lowered your vehicle. Isn't it a PITA to drive that in the winter? Edmonton roads arent the greatest for lowered vehicles

 

It wasn't too too bad to be honest but I definitely had to avoid alleyways and residential roads that eventually had the 3-4 inch tracks of ice that develop over the winter. Also gotta watch for the icebergs that fall off the back of trucks (but stock height cars would also get demolished)

 

Dang thats a really nice ride!!

Thanks Josh!!

 

Just installed some J5 Coilovers. The integration with the factory AVS system makes the IS feel like it's driving on rails without being overly rough.











Installed and mini photo op with my gf's car
