Re: alpha's HE build up
bits and pieces:
got some temporary exhaust tips, looks way better than sunken in stock tips(will go bigger at some stage)
and finally made a surround for my double din headunit, no more massive as gaps, its not the tidiest of the jobs but looks good in real life!
and here is what i tried to do
i replaced stock badge on the grille to this
its just a mock up to see how it looks like(i like it+it hides stock mazda badge)
once i get a dremel kit i will drill out the badge and place that sticker inside.
what u guys think?yes or no?
i will be shaving my rear emblem aswell(in a few months)

Re: alpha's HE build up
nah 225 on 8.5 is barely a stretch, i had 215s on it before and it looked much better.
it probably will kiss it but meh, spacers are off for now, gota cut back old studs (they protrude 3mm from spacers:( so angle grinder it in next few days.)
i got 245 at rear on 10"..plan is to run 235 and 10-15mm spacer.
cant go flush on normal springs, so will make it as close to a flush as possible.
