the conti's are on the 20s and are my winter wheels/tires - those are 22s

Got it, I don't think I'll make a move to 22s, kind of enjoy a little sidewall with Miss Drive-It-Like-You-Stole-It.

you don't want to afford the wheels either

I highly recommend the DWS for oem wheels

Yep, I put DWSs on it right when I bought it, quite happy with the tire wear so far. Think I'm going to get 25K out of the rears, maybe 40K on the fronts.

Driver's side is pretty much done, passenger side about 40%.

Once I get them both structurally sound I will play with my wiring. Still need to figure out which relay I need to jump to keep low and high on at the same time like how the E21 is currently wired with the sealed bulbs. stupid E30 wiring...

First off, holy shit does Sonax wheel cleaner work! I didn't even have to scrub the wheels...

- Rear bumper valance wrapped.
- Headlight bezel wrapped.
- Lamin-x headlights
- Small ZHP emblems installer.
- Bimmian mobile device mount installed.

* I'm not sure if I'm keeping the emblems, perhaps I should have gotten bigger ones so I could out them on the left. What do you all think?
* I'm pretty happy with the rear bumper valance and head light bezels. It's a bit ricey but it's subtle. Lol
* The Bimmian mount definitely causes my trim to be loose

Sorry for the crappy phone pics...

What's the story on those CF body parts. Is it a wrap or did you buy new ones that way? From where?

Installed 4 new pieces of rubber and attempted alignment... Did not have the special tool for rear toe and couldn't get the front left tie rod to do much of anything useful. Suggestions?

Tie rods almost always require heat to bust them loose (Mine do anyways. Assume may be the same for some folks). I have no knowledge of a special tool for alignment on rear.

Did you take this car to a shop for an alignment?

If yes, don't go there again.
