nice progress, not really diggin the rims, but end of the day as long as you like it, it's worth keeping them on. btw how did you shave the type s boot lid, diy??? does water go in if a bit more was shaved? just want to know for mugen wing fitment cheers

The rims were more of a function over form decision, steelies being what they are, are probably more stronger than an alloy/forged alloy application.
(correct me if I'm wrong ppls)
Even if I did bend 1 on a pothole it's a very easy fix compared to an alloy rim..
(alloy fractures when they are re rolled after a big ding)
And yea I really like the look, and that's what JDM STYLING is all about, individual styling.
Plus am not really a fan of following others fitting the popular rims like rega's, te37's rpf1's and such.
Who really wants their car looking like someone elses?
As for the rear lip spoiler,
What I did is drill the holes for the type-r wing,
Sat it in the holes on top of the boot lip, and traced a line using the wing as a guide.
Then removed the lip and fitted the wing.
Then I proceeded to cut the lip inside the line I marked.
Without any of the clips (which there 8 of) and 2 end studs I test fitted the lip to check for fitment,
Then not owning a dremmel, I used a file and sand paper to shape the cut surfaces and kept test fitting, sanding, test fitting until I had it sitting perfect. Then fitted new OEM clips to the lip and double sided tape leaving drain gaps at either end I removed the wing, fitted the lip, then re-fitted the wing.
Leaving the drain gaps solves the problem of the small gap between the lip and wing..
Wow. Them steelies... jdm styling.... what a quote!
Yeah not my cup of tea. Te37/rpf1/regas are popular for a reason.. they look good. And are actually jdm too
That's true everyone has them, my point. Hey they look good, I didn't say they didn't but I don't want to be a follower, just because everyone else has them..
Wheels are individual choice and styling. What ever floats ppls boats suits them..
