Careful man. Spacers and longer lugs are one thing... But a lug pattern changing adapter is a completely different thing. Make sure to yank the wheels back off a few times in the next few hundred miles to re- torque the adapter back down to the hub, then re-torque the wheel to the adapter plate.

That is A LOT of extra parts in a fast moving area. I've seen some wheels fall off.

Nice!

Did you get that lift kit from SF.O?

I'm assuming you're talking about that entire kit that's on there now? Nope, just asking about it.

That's the plan, I definitely plan on watching them carefully and checking them. Believe me, the last thing I want is something to fall off! But I know a lot of people have used these without any issues at all. I'll check them again after I drive it a bit more. I do appreciate the tips and concern though Nate, thanks.
 
Had a few things dropped off last night that will go on at some point. Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I need more funds first.

 
sexy car!! (currently making lasagna... and NOT wasting my day away on Mainely!)

 
Found someone to do the work I need done, and for a great price too. Still have to get more funds together of course. But the 20 hours of OT I got Sunday into Monday will help!

 
Went and visited the car after work today. I knew it was a little tweaked in the front drivers side, but didn't know how bad it was. The drivers side strut tower was pushed back into the firewall, and that whole side was bent up quite a bit. When it was fixed(before Gabe bought it)they did not do a good job at all. It's obvious they were just trying to get it out of the shop quick. But now, everything is lined up and put back into place! It will be painted within the next couple days, and I should have it back by Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Here are a couple pics.

Stopped by tonight to drop off my nice clean air filter to put on before it goes back together. It's all painted! I didn't get a great look at it because he had just got done, but I did get to see the bumper cover. He sprayed that separate because of the flex additive needed. That looked great, and looking in through the window, the rest of the car did too! I'm thinking Monday it will be all done. He was going to wet sand a few spots tonight and tomorrow and then finish up. I can't wait!
