byza213 1 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 nicee man i like that color , looks cool on the bottlecaps for some reason haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jibs05 86 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks! I like it on the bottle caps as well, but unfortunately its too low for *cough* wof *cough* so need to put the bigger wheels on to make it legal. Needs some epic guard rolling on the front as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Quite like the Panasport C8s (I think), although they need smaller tyres. The gold looks good too! Is it gonna bottom out on the front? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 your shifter boot it supposed to clip into the center console through the top not the bottom. also, to make the boot get snug to the bottom of the gearknob, i folded it inside out and ziptied the top of it really tight around the shaft of the gearstick, and then folded the boot back down over the top and clipped it into the center console Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it gonna bottom out on the front? it hasnt bottomed out on the front yet, although id say its pretty close, my exhaust has a hole now i think. Yeh the C8s would be GREAT!! id like to get the ssr wheels to look kinda like them. need much bigger lips . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not an e30 boot or mounting bracket. It didnt come with the conversion kit. so i used what i had at home. going to look for the parts when i get the chance. hmm that sounds very interesting, i must try that when i get my shifter boot. thanks for the advice!!
