FIrst time taking pics
Hey i been on here for a while, started with a Gen1 GS. Ii was giving me problems so i had to let it go, and decided to get an ES because its great on gas and i really liked the 2000. Plus it was in my price range and im in college so budgeting is everything right now.
Anyways i upgraded the fogs to 6k HID, Headlights are stock HID Also i swapped the dome,map, and license plate lights for some LED's.
My next plans are to put these 06+ i think GS wheels that i have, that a couple ES members have already put on their car. My question is where can i get the Ichiban spacers? anywhere from 3mm to 15mm, im guessing all those will push the wheel far enough away from the strut and any rubbing. any input would be great.
So here are pics:

Nice pick there!
I got all my Ichiba spacers from OptionImports.com. I only recommend them because I purchased from them more than once and actually got to experience their post-sale customer service and it was great. I have the following installed on the rear, which has allowed enough distance between the inner lip and the body of the coilover for some negative camber:

I dont fully understand what you mean. Maybe if you take a picture i can help? What year do you have? Mines went right in. I just wasn't able to use the rubber grommet that the stock bulbs had.

Will do! I'm in the process of figuring out which spacers i need and should get. By any chance does anyone here know if the 15mm spacer will clear with the GS wheels. Please reply. Or will i have to get the 5mm. I want the 15 because they are much easier to install but i dont know if they will clear the fender.

It has been a hassle lately for me to transport my bike around. I seen in the GS thread asking for advice on a bike rack. I didnt want to start a new topic so i'll just post it here. Anyone ever put any type of bike rack on their es? Was it pretty easy? Pictures? Thanks.

Just some updated pics. Added the GS rims and a 5mm spacer in the rear. The tires are a bit thick (245-45-18) since theyre what came with them. They rub in the front when i turn the wheel all the way on a slope. And in the back only when i hit a bad bump. I'm going to change the tires though since i wanna lower it. Enjoy. If anyone knows a place in norcal that refinishes rims, since they have scratches, let me know. I'm on a college budget haha.
Sorry for the cell pics, didnt have my camera. Also any suggestions and critiques welcome.
