L5's installed!

Got new wheels a few weeks ago now time for L5's to complete the look. The fit was pretty good but there will be some prep required before paint. There's a seam near the top of the fenders that will need to be prepped. I guess this is where they attach the top portion.

After lowering it in the rear:

I love the look,very agressive

Goint to the paint shop next week. More pics to come

Got mine on last month, I shaved the rear markers and antenna off the fenders... Placed a fixed antenna behind the rear bumper and it works great... How's the fit on the gas lid? I had to grind down some of the glass to get a flusher fit. Also, trimmed away some at the lower front portion to get a better line on the door jams.
