PM's were much worse than that. One person didn't know why they wouldn't bolt right on

That looks really really good. Usually not a big fan of white wheels, but you pulled it off. Nice work.

[wh4l3salad]

for ROTA, but hot damn that car looks great.

[wolfsburgfanatic]

In for more. The car looked great on the Rota's and I'm looking forward to the transformation

Update:

Today i finished painting the D-Cups and drilled the holes in the side for the 1/4'' line. Next step is to get the trunk setup figured out. Keeping my spare tire, so im thinking about doing a wood ly in and all components exposed. Need to order a few more fitting and will be good to go. Still waiting on front struts.......

All lined up. I have 1/2'' grommit to go in the holes that were drilled to avoid any rubbing.

[Squirrel Nuts]

looks good

[98DUB]

Did you trim your dcups at all?

[prospal]

I'm sure you plan to do this already bob, but I'd throw a rubber grommet on that d-cup to eliminate any chance of that air line rubbing and cutting itself.

i should have painted my cups, it looks good!

What do you mean trim?

[johnnyR32]

What do you mean trim?

you can trim the cup so it sits lower in the control arm. therefore making your car sit a bit lower without cutting your nips off.
