Thoughts?
Got pics, and how you liking it. It's so damn big looking and seems as though it would limit your forward range of vision? I'm guessing though that it's a HUGE help to the blind spots huh?

^I'll get some pictures for you by tuesday after i wash the car, she so dirty after the 550 mile road trip back home :/

And I love it by the way! it only limits the forward range of vision as much as your sun visors would if they were down so its not too bad unless your at a light where you have to duck to see when it turns green. As far as blind spots go you have none, i don't even use my side mirrors anymore because the wink shows me the same view! i say $20 dollars well spent.


Anyways turns out i was driving around with a blown fuse for my parking, side marker, and license plate lights for at least a week. just replaced it today, Thankfully i never got pulled over for that.

Alright so after saving up some money I've decided its time to get into the market for some wheels need opinions though.. Options are:

XXR 521 18x8.5 et35

XXR 527 18x8.75/9.75

ESM 004 18x9


If I go with xxr i can manage to buy some b&g coil overs as well in about 2 weeks.

So ended running into financial difficulties with the whole moving into a house thing. Finally got around to buying some xxr 527 18x8.75+20. Going to wrap them in 215/35/18. Been doing some reading and some say I won't need to roll my fenders some say I will so i don't know who to believe... can someone clear it up for me.

I'm pretty sure you should be good without rolling the fenders doesnt look like you are dropped to where it would rub. Cant wait to see them on the car.
