your car looks great! but i have a few questions...
do you mind sharing the price for your set of wheels? because i been thinking to get them with the same width, same offset and same color on my CYM

where did you get this floor mat?

I got the floor mats from forum member JasonS they are made custom and very nice, PM him for details, highly recommend!

As for the xd9's they run around 1800 for the set and then an additional $300 for the MBL coating done by Work USA. I got them from Vivid but not sure I would recommend them because they scratched up the inside of the wheel pretty bad when mounting.

Right now I'm running 255/35-18 Advan AD08s in the front, and the front only rubs slightly at full lock, although I have trimmed the inner plastics, and I'm running a higher offset than you, so my wheels don't extend as far out as yours.

If I was still running my front 18x9s (profile photo), I would - without question - go with 245/35-18 tires. The profile photo has 235/40-18 AD07s in the front btw.

Also be sure to zip tie the harness as far away from the tire as possible.

The wheels pull it all together. They make it work perfectly. It really brings out the rest of the detail in the fenders and rear arches.

The front is a little busier than the back, in this case a wing might not look bad.

thanks to you, very well!

I have a slight rubbing issue right now but it's not a big deal and we're trimming the fenders a bit now. Also per some others' suggestions, I am having the wiring harness tied up far away from the wheels. Also we are going to take a heat gun to the fender liners and stretch them away even further from the wheels so that there's no chance of rub on that side.

thanks to everyone for all the help and information!

looking good, if you decide on keeping the evo-r sleeks I highly suggest you upgrade those lights as they suck (even if you install hids). take it from me.

hmm, I noticed! We had to set them up so they are both on, all the time lol

I am going to buy the RE-A Sleek lights for my christmas present to myself, in the meantime I will keep the Evo-R's since my car never had any popup lights, they are all I have for now.

Just curious, what lights did you use to upgrade yours?

You did a great job. Only thing I would've done differently is to flush the edges on the body kit, unless that's the look you were going for.

Thanks!

I assume you are talking about molding in the side skirts? If so, yea I didn't want to go that route, I think if it was a different color maybe I would have, but I think the red does a nice job of blending the side skirts in naturally. And I don't really want that much bondo on the car :P
