Next mods? Paint the fender vents black again, and go either wingless, MS, or RB :P

Just to do that? Labor is expensive. If it's me, i'll just put a white electrical tape to cover the holes to match the color.

Wow. I had Hoss-05's entire side (door and fender damage) and front bumper prepped and painted for $1200.00 at a place that caters to the Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi dealer

Now to get the right side passenger door fixed and that small blemish on the drivers side. My ex wife is still costing me money lol.

My wheels are only 9" wide, and I cant wait to get 10" or higher. They just seem to fit the car so much better when looking at them from behind.

Im trying to get my wheels that have the specs in the first post, cause it looks like those are the minimum required specs to have an "aggressive set up" If you dont have those specs you aint hella flush according to the first post. LOL.

The replica wheel V. authentic wheel debate is ongoing debate. Weds just recently released this video comparing crash tests of an authentic SA55m and replica version, check it out...

JWL is widely recognized, as is TUV. Problem is, many manufacturers may disregard and stamp the wheels as such anyways, and hope not to get caught. I have even heard of some parts being produced outside of Japan be stamped "Made in Japan" simply because the manufacturer knows it will net more $$.
