LOL, crawl my big ass through the trunk.

Also, when I have time I'll hook up a circuit breaker under the car. We used to do that in car stereo long time ago....the breaker runs series with the battery, so if your main battery dies you can hook up a jumper to the circuit breaker and jump the car without crawling through the trunk.

No, this particular brand is the only one I've seen with a deep dish front rim. Most are 18x9 with a normal sized lip, but this one is different. I don't know what brand it is either (friend ordered it for me).

Well, not everything worked out "perfect."

On the way home today, a rouge piece of wood scrached the front bumper

Good thing it's a surface scratch and I can probably buff it out. I'm getting that clearmask for sure now, but I gotta wait 30 days to let the paint set before I can install it.

Also, the fog light wires are too short, so I'll have to crawl under there and extend them.

Other than that, car came out perfect. The guy who painted it and did the body work got mad skills--no drips, dust, nothing. Where he shaved the lock and filled in the trunk holes...if you didn't know it didn't come that way from the factory, you would NEVER be able to tell it was done afterward. I had to pay a bit out of pocket for all the extras I did, but IMO it was worth it.

Overall I notested the paint looks excellent.The guy how painted
your car knows what he is doing that's for sure.
If it is a surface scratch from a peice of wood than you should be
able to buff it out.You really only need a clearmask for the front bumper.
Did you fined a good place to order your clearmask from San?
The fog lights aren't that hard to extend are they?

Ya, the paint is sick. He's damn good and came highly recommended by a lot of people.

The foglight wires will be easy....getting under there is the problem

I'm either gonna get the mask from clearmask.com or have it done here by a shop. I got a few weeks to decide.
