haha yeah, I started about Noon and didn't finish until almost 5PM, but definitely worth it. Yeah they're 19's I love 'em too! They match the car nicely.

Just bought and swapped the lug nuts on my car for a set of burning blue Muteki open end lugs. I also just ordered OEM side and rear aero flares that match my car and should be shipped by the end of this month.

If I have the garage and equipment, I would have done the same too. I was bored this week.

Installed driver side Shine side skirt. Fitment is on point. I just have to get better screws for the front side where the wheel well. And maybe put some other bonding for peace of mind. Pics to come when I finish the other side.
