Love the look! So are you going to paint them black or leave them silver, IMO leave them as they are
Do the centre caps be changed to Ford?

the laser always looked weird to me, but yours somehow stands out and it's growing on me
I'm not too fond of the black mirrors though... makes your car look like a lower grade model the black grille? looks great!

did the original mirror's blue plastic piece broke too? because you can actually remove that piece and swap it over if it wasn't

That stance looks bang on, pushed wide for a better footing but not so much that it starts to cause trouble... Are they 8" rims? the 205/40 looks just a tad stretched. Will be looking for a decent 205/40/17" tyre soon, how do you rate these ones?

the blue plastic part was smashed had to replace the whole mirror.
I'm glad I upgraded to a 8 went for a spin through old Pac and would feel the difference I was skeptical that I was gonna rub but along as u roll ur guards and dial in about 2.5 degrees camber no rubbing at all at current height about 90mm at the pinch 80mm at the cusco lca brace. so far the Hankook v12 evo are handling awesome and have the perfect amount of stretch would rate them as highly as the proxies 4 I had b4 would recommend them to anyone |

so some un happy news car was reversed into in a hit and run didn't leave a note and insurance wont cover it cause I hadn't change where I leave my car during the day when at work it was still set at my old work in Artarmon not west ryde so they wont cover it F*** holes will be changing insurance companys after the way I was treated during the 45 min call to them. anyway spent today checking everything there is no damage to radiator and supports which im happy about. bad all the mounts for the grill are broken only held in by 1 screw on top front bumper has a fair amount of damage and bumper mounts cracked front lip has been poped off but can be repaired left hand headlight and fog light have a chip in them. will be going to get some quotes to fix the bumper will be on the look out for a new grill cause a new one is 400 bucks fok that and new bumper with lip is 700 :O.
anyway some pics ( didn't get a full shot but bumper is holding on by zip ties at the moment cant really see it but the emblem is pushed I |

as stated above that is what they told me when I called them it is stated in there stupid fine print which basicly states they can choose to not to cover you. they said it Is up to the operator to choose weather to cover you of not. if your car is not parked where u state it will be during the hours stated so basicly if it happened Saturday or sunday they would cover it but during the week between 8-5 it wasn't in Artarmon it was in west ryde. so read your fine print
