Osin I have one piece headlights, no worries. I have facelift tails sitting in my room not installed due to lack of bulb holders right now, and I also have red "overlays" to make them all red . I'm way ahead of you buddy! Haha. I cannot wait to get everything dialed in. My one year anniversary with the car is coming up on the 16th I believe, so she'll have gone through quite the makeover in a year.

Tourbo, I went for the stretched look with these wheels/tires. Not going to lie, I had never seen stretch in person so when I picked them up from the tire shop I was pretty shocked aha. It's an acquired taste I think, most people love it though.

I don't think so... Drifters stretch and they drive way harder than I ever will on these tires, I should be just fine.

So what are the rims and tires? 9 inch rim with 225 tires? Those won't pop the bead easilly, its possible if they are under inflated though..

You're right, it WILL be **** .

Wheels are 17 x 8.5 Mercs obviously. Bought them off of Aledelic after staring at them for some time, all of the sudden I just needed them hahaha. The tires are 205/40 Falken 512's.
