I thought about that, too. Same price as having them powder coated.

Check out the lip size! 15x8 -27 offset. I don't think they will fit well in my wheel wells.

They are ok... Not a huge fan of 4 spoked wheels. IMO the best 4 spoke is the Work Equip 01.

Good luck ever getting those -27mm wheels on an EF, no chance and certainlly wouldnt be worth it for such a readily available (read: not that awesome) wheel.

BoostedChem, wrap that baby for sure. I see its all coming together

NAalltheway: Keep em polished or polish them more, i think they look great as is!

Dude as long as you don't do work equip 01's. They're nice and everything but when you start seeing 4 sets of those around town, it gets very annoying.
The only wheel that is played out but really sexy is the mugen rnr, or enkei rpf1 IMO.
And i love bbs rs.

I'm putting my battery there because I don't want it in the bay or worse yet the trunk. I'm using remote terminals in the bay so I can charge it, etc. check out ryan's (rywire) car, he has relocated there....along with may others. Plus, I don't want a dinky 180cc battery and thats all that fits in front of the tranny.

Anyone have any info on if a stock battery fits behind the bumper on the passenger side yet?

I SERIOUSLY doubt it, but you can try. One thing we realized when buttoning up ryan's car was the bumper light tucks back in there so we had to shift the battery a bit since the bumper light was hitting one of the terminals.

Why don't you want a small dry-cell battery?

Did the RMF replica header install today. It barely clears the radiator fan(slim fan) and the a/c lines, but it does. Thank God. I had to trim the **** out of my cross member. If you EF guys are putting this in your EF be prepared to cut the ever loving **** out of your crossmember or buy an aftermarket one. Soon, I am going to just hack the entire center section of this crossmember, weld some supports inside the open ends near the radius rod mounts, and then weld a strong bar in between to make my own "aftermarket crossmember. This header is also about 6-8" shorter than my DC 4-2-1, so I've got to run it to a muffler shop in the morning to get that closed up. I would do it myself, but I'm tired of being on my back on the ground. Here are some pics.



I should have really taken the crossmember back off and ginded another 1/4" on the bottom and top parts, but I was tired and fed up. I'll get it another day. hopefully I mod this crossmember before I get around to doing that. What a PITA.
