Nope! My original sti lip is actually for the JDM bar actually, so it was even more motivation to do the upgrade!

For the Advans I'm looking at 18x8.5 +45 (GTR face - more concave) with 235/40/18 tyres.

Well that is awfully convenient

Perfect specs imo, just the right amount of poke and width

Yeah my thoughts exactly, and it's the least aggressive stance you can get with the GTR face which means it is meant to be!

Nice build thread Kelvin!

Car was looking the goods. Good luck with G88, hope you get it all sorted.

I'll get in contact with your panelist too. Thanks for the info!

^After seeing his work in person, I guess we'll all be contacting him. Haha

Thanks mate!
I'm sure it'll get sorted one way or another, maybe I'll come to like the JDM style mismatched paint

No dramas at all, let him know I sent you!

UPDATE

Well I finally got around to getting the full Leo (HKS180) treatment on a set of cheap second hand headlights and eyelids I picked up for retrofitting. Parts for the custom headlights are as follows:
- Blackened Headlight Surrounds
- CCFL Halos
- 6000k HID Low Beams
- Matching LED Parkers and Indicators
- K2 Gear Eyelids






Also managed to score a bargain on some rear OEM spats from IM and re-sticker the car after picking up a club lib sticker from the last Vic members cruise which was a blast.
Next step is getting Delta Speed Side Skirt Extensions and then finally paint matching and getting everything together nicely.

Well I definitely owe you a big thanks for that Leo!
Thanks for walking me through all the choices and everything, lights are exactly how I wanted them.

Awesome work man. What did you use to stick the eyelids on with?

[KelvinTaylor88]

Just a lot of 3M double sided tape, prepping the surface was key for a strong hold.

Thanks for the tip. I have some for my car but they are just in plain black at the moment. Just waiting to get them sprayed up. Considering doing it myself to be honest and then sticking them on myself. Makes such a difference with them on though

[KelvinTaylor88]

Which ones did you pick up Shav?
Yeah I need to get mine painted too as I'm sure you can tell, thought I may as well chuck them on in the mean time.

They are the same as yours. Bought them off moey a few months back. Just been slack about fitting them. Not sure if i should fit them as is or paint them first.

[KelvinTaylor88]

Oh awesome, you'll love the look and fitment.

I'm just doing both, what's a bit of double sided tape hey?

[BigBCalais]

Headlights and eyelids look great Kelvin! When is everything getting painted?

Probably once I order and test fit some delta speed side skirt extensions, wanting to keep my options open about painting those same time as everything else.
