Rims are on! (Finally! Pics!)

[oogy-boogy]

I had ordered a set of 16" gunmetal Rota Grids a while ago. They finally came in! Woohooo!

I've never posted pics of my EP so I figured I would go to work and borrow the cam to post some....Sorry for the crappy quality :D

[Exit117K20]

Hey oogy...looks great...what drop are you running, and how did u do those taillights, they look so sweet.

[anjapower]

ABOUT FREAKIN TIME!!:D

Car looks so much better Mel, I bet you can't wait to attack an autox now that you got some decent rubber on there;)

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Car looks hot Mel... Love the rims and taillights.... were those a diy mod?

[Civicvtec1ps]

You should make DIY with pictures on those taillights.
Looks good.

[02SilverSiHB]

I just removed the OEM bracket, tapped 4 holes in the plate and used 2 thick white zip ties on the top. For the bottom, I glued a piece of foam on the back of the plate.

33 x 15's :*

Eibach 1.5" drop...

As far as the tail lights, I masked the reverse clears and then did ~2 coats of ventshade tint. To mask the tails, I taped 2 strips of blue masking tape and then put a flashlight into the reverse light to cut out a perfect oval on both sides. Very easy mod.

As far as the actual lighting change, I used a dremel and some extra sockets I had sitting in the garage.

Nope. Very Gunmetal-ish (Black anodizing). It was a mixture of a terrible camera and photographer. :blushm: :sadm:

I had the front bumper lenses and side blinkers tinted as well. I hated it after 1 day and ended up spending 2 hours wet sanding them to get all 4 back to normal. :o
