Thanks alot man. the back is probably the worst part of the kit interms of fitment too. I really rushed it all because of exposed this weekend, hence me still havign a flinty. I'm working on a project with my mirrors so I don't have the covers on right now.. but shoudl have them back shortly.

I do need rims (and a serious drop).

Bronze on FM will look sick.

and its funny you say Bronze on FM would look sick... cuz it does, but my gf hates it. she liked them better when they were gunmetal (they matched the car better haha)

I don't know what rims I'm thinking of.. I change my mind 10 times a week. Something with a generious lip, maybe motegi's or axis.. but it's in the air. Basically something that looks nice with a decent drop.. weight has little to do with my decision

the red string is actually holding on my undercariage light until I remount it under my car (tomorrow)

The kit is painted, but it's really hard to match our beautiful color. In the sun it looks perfect, but the darkness comes out when the suns out. It was all a rush job with the paint because I had to have it by today.

holy crap there are over 2000 posts in this thread
me too! I posted that in the "something you dislike about your tC" thread. I said my FM is a poop magnet. And it's ALWAYS right after a good wash/wax. I never had this problem with any of my previous vehicles. I guess it's for the best, keeps the ride clean!
