Wow, great thread to follow and really liking the mods. I missed the details on the wheel and tire combo though. What were the specs on those(diameter/width/backspace) and the tire size?

Still cushioned, yes. Although I might pull it off and use a thicker padding.

when you did the dash pieces, did you have to trim the openings where switches / clock/hazards and whatnot went in to make up for the thickness of the vinyl?

What did you do to get rid of the rear emblem and have it look so nice? How much time/money did it take?

I did trim around the clock and hazard button, the others I just jammed in there.

I removed the emblem, filled the hole, sanded, primered painted and cleared it. I did it all myself. Time wise was a few hours, as for money, IDK, maybe a $50 total...

Well the modification that led to the modification would be the want for 5x114 wheels to fit on 5x100 hubs. LOL

I am just running some 15mm adapters
