Corksport's Mazdaspeed replica has no side markers either. I don't like their mesh setup at all, though. If it could be made to look OEM that would be nice.

They look so plain without the clears haha.

I will see what my painter can work out with me. Worst case the clears are going to stay in my glovebox.

FU man!! I didn'y have anyone with me to sit in the car to make it lower. I am awaiting a package as we speak that will hopefully get me down to where I wanna be until I can finish the turbo and get proper coil overs.

speaking from past experience, a huge stereo can help with that as well.

i had ripped out all the front fender liner but left the pieces in front of the oil coolers there... tiltmode was right and my underguard is shredded to pieces and today that last piece of liner ripped out and got caught under my wheel lol

GT spec aluminum underpiece already ordered but no one seems to have any of the fender liners for sale...

Anyone with 17x9.0 offset +28 with 255/40/17 tire?

I know the rear would be just nice, but the front wheel would come out too much from the fender right?

Cinder Blocks as a lowering mod:

-Lower for photoshoots and that sort of thing but keep OE height to avoid bottoming out!
-Cheaper than any other method
-More reliable than air
-Fully adjustable without too much effort
-Available locally to nearly anyone

The not so funny part is I've actually seen this method used over at 7club before, haha!
