haha. I really like the smoked look and they were a birthday present from my wife, so they're staying. I need to upgrade the headlights to complete the look, though.

Glad y'all like the Gottis! I feel like the design really works with the car's lines. Should look nice once I complete the refinish and paint the windows/holes white.

The smoked lights are a huge upgrade.

Glad everyone is as excited about these as I am!

The gold is already gone, as I had the faces and barrels stripped and dipped.

Got studs installed on the front last night and set about figuring out what size spacer is needed to clear coil. 15mm appears to be the magic number. However, this puts me at 17x10" et15 and resulted in a ton of poke.

I then remembered a talk I had with my friend and looked into whether I could reconfigure my camber plates for more front camber. Turns out there are some optional holes and I was able to get another degree or two!

Here's the final product on how the front is going to sit (camber will be -3 to -4* all around)

That's good as long as your camber plates let you get some decent camber and 215/40's

The above pic is with my camber plates maxed out. I believe it is in the -3/-4* range and should be enough. I already picked up some 215/40s. Ordering spacers and paint today and hoping to have these mounted sometime next week.

I still have some gold if you want to do that again
