    Going to look at a couple of used Corbeau Forza's tomorrow. Not sure if I'll get them or not; I'll see what kind of condition they are in.. If I get them they'll probably switch between the NA and NB depending on which one I feel like having them in lol

    Looks like Christmas came a little early this year! Nice stuff! I look forward to seeing your new gauges.

    Thanks! I'll have to find some time where I can just take my time doing the gauges since I don't want to rush them.. So that may be one of the last things to get installed since this weekend will already be pretty hectic between installing the TEIN coil's on blackchicken's NC, getting the corbeau's into the NB, putting on all those little extras on the NA, and driving down to Ohio again to pick up the coils and maybe install them as well.

    Thanks guys.

    @Gene, just a heads up, the fitment isn't the greatest. I will need to do a bit of playing around to get them to fit properly... possibly shave off the back of the light or the bumper where they sit to get them a bit more flush..

    Today I installed tow hook, smoked signals, smoked corners, and started to do the lip but found a dent in my front bumper that totally throws off the fitment. I'll need to take a hair dryer to it later and try to get it popped out. Also need to drill the holes for mounting it so I may just wait until the weekend to do that.

    I'll post some pictures later since all I have are crappy iphone pics right now.

    Thanks.

    Got the coils on today... Tires are rubbing hard on the top of the fenderwell so I'll need to work on making some clearance there...

    When I finished installing the coils I forgot to tighten to lugs before going for a test drive; luckily I was going really slow when it happened, but my driver's side wheel pretty much came off. But because of my ride height it just kind of stayed in place so I was stuck in the middle of the road until I got a socket to tighten the lugs back on..

    Front lip still needs to be installed but ran out of time today.


    Jump starting; something that happened at least 5 times today lol


    Stuck in the middle of the road:


    Some other shots






    Current hub to fender is 9.4"

    Hahaha sucks to hear about the wheel, but that's kinda funny. Everyone makes little mistakes I guess. I was not expecting you to go that low, but I like it.
