Guessing you had to remove the prongs and sand it down since we need it flat for the spoiler right?
You're very welcome. The replacement emblem is held on with double sided tape so no prongs to worry about. I recommend putting a couple of tiny squares of electrical tape on the old holes in the trunk where the prongs used to go as it will stop any water getting in.

How did you run the wire through the door panels?

The kit has 5 boxes which connects wireless.You only need to connect power to each box from each door and the main one .

Ok thanks, but how did you feed the LED portion out of the doors? Did you have to drill a hole or just feed it through the gap in the panels?

If you remove the door panels you can squeeze it without making a hole anywhere!

Sold it towards the start of the year to a good friend of mine who lives down country. Finally decided to buy another one.

19s fitted yesterday. Fitment is almost perfect. Can get the rear wheels out by another 5mm to be almost flush. The fronts are crazy and I'm very happy with them

19 x 9.5 squared (+35). Added a 10mm spacer to the front so the spokes clear the calipers.
F: 235/35
R: 265/35

Rolled the rear guards as I wasn't sure the 265 would fit but there's quite a bit of room for either a 275/30 tire or throwing on a spacer to push out the 265.

There was some rubbing in the rear but that was because the last time I worked on the car to remove my rear bumper, I didn't put back the liner properly. That is no longer an issue

Special thanks to member DownUnder for the help and guidance along the way. I couldn't have done it without him.

Thank you. Its not yet perfect.
I can push the rear out another 5mm then it should closely match the front.
Wheel shop damaged (bent) one of my 5mm spacers so I have to buy another set.
No idea how they managed to do that
