I'm gonna get spacers anyways so I can get flush. But then I have the fenders and wheel wells to worry about. Roll the fender? I'm hitting the wheel wells as it is right now, how would I go about clearing that? I took off the liner and was gonna leave it off, but I noticed that that the bumper would be hanging by just those little tabs...any way around this?

On Sunday, I spent about four hours scrubbing away with paint remover on my wheels to get rid of the black spray paint that the previous owner put on them. I can see why he did though, they don't look too good underneath, a few scratches and whatnot, but they look SO much better now. They actually look like 40 series tires on 18s instead of 50 series on 16s....lol.

What have you guys heard about the Raceland adjustable sway bar end links? I've been reading on Vortex and they said they've had problems when going under 23.5-24" in the front, but I don't wanna go that low because it'll cause too many problems. I just couldn't pass up a $38 deal haha and I love my Rokkor coilovers (also from Raceland) and there are a lot of people who say they don't like those either, so I think it's just all preference. Care to discuss?

Well, I chopped out my sway bar as everyone noticed last Sunday. But today I joey-modded my lights! I didn't do the best job because apparently no matter what you use to seal off the reflectors, the layer of....chrome plating?...will still come off, even with the Glad Press-n-Seal. But it's done and looks great...from a distance!! Haha jk, here are pictures.

I painted over the dummy lenses as well, haven't seen too many people do it, so I thought I would change it up slightly. Next: yellow high beam bulbs, and possibly diadem turn signals to give the blue look instead of amber? *shrug*

Ordered a sunglasses holder from Shanghai Volkswagen a couple weeks ago and it came in yesterday. Installed it this morning, I really like it! I've never seen anyone with it before so I thought it was pretty original.
