For sure.

Wheels are together and going in to get tires mounted in an hour. Im going to just wrap my engine harness and I should be all set. I will be going stand alone this winter so this harness is garbage to me now. 3 harness' spliced to make one has been annoying since the start. Electrical tape and shrink wrap it is!

Will post pictures of the wheels and them on the car later. No time!!!!!!

updates!

Saw it this weekend. Looked good on the new wheels!

Updates. 

• Tires are one size too big in the rear, and I had to raise the car a touch.
• Spring rates are still way too soft and I need to get some swifts
• Eurowerks was a blast and I will be back next year.

Oh it exists, Cher just hasn't sent it to me yet.

Also, I  noticed that my plate from about 20' looks like I just painted numbers on my car.

Bunny roller as I promised @Earl

I will trade you 2 of my cars for your vert. Thats how much I like it/thats how crappy my cars are

.

Would it be worth putting some 3/8" standoffs behind the plate so it sits proud and casts a slight shadow to define the plate edge? Just a thought

Maybe just a licence plate frame to break it up?  Also, I believe I've asked this.  What sideskirts are you rockn' in that rolling picture?

You're too kind sir. I like that the plate blends in to be honest.

I tried putting a frame on it but everyone looking over my shoulder said it looked dumb so I will leave ti for now. Anything is better than the JohnDeer theme.

I wish license plate tubs on our cars were actually flat because I fear my plate will touch my trunk. #mypaintcostmorethanipaidforthecarsoicareaboutittoomuch

What ever do you mean? Mine is flat, but then has plastic stand offs so the plate doesnt touch. This is the best example I could find:

[jc43089]

^ My e36's and e30's have all had those plastic pieces too.  No issue of the plate touching the paint.

[Earl]

Must be a compact thing. It ia slightly curved with the rest of the hatch so the very middle is 1/8" from touching

[Jdesign]

@Earl Are you sure your not missing the plastic? They attach to the factory holes. I think you can run a plate with and without them.

I have no clue as to what you're referring to as none of your photobucket links work for me=/ I have the OEM inserts and brand new OEM hardware
