Pics of the 15x9 6UL's mounted.

Finally got a chance to take a few pics in the daylight. I think the wheels look good on a black car. I'm excited to see how I'll do at the next autox on real tires.

NT-01s? Looking good.

Did you tint the tail lights or purchase them like that? Can you still see them fine at night?

NT01's indeed. I tinted all the lights except for the headlights using some UV coated vinyl. They're actually still really bright at night. The film lets a lot of light through.

Looks really good, don't like the eyelids though. How much camber up front 3+ degrees?

Currently 2.5* up front. I need to get it re-aligned. I've learned a little more about good alignment specs since the last alignment.

Keep us update on what kind of mileage you get with the NT-01s.

Link/more info on the tint?

As for Alignments, I like the Icehawk Alignment for a nice street/track/autoX compromise.

Looks great! I do like the offset on the Slips a little better, but this is definitely a great setup.

I really like the taillights, let's hear more about them.

Dude, that looks fantastic. What is the offset on those wheels? Will you ever put in on a track? I would love to know what that contact patch is like on the track!!!!!

Yes that's the GV front lip. I just broke mine, in my opinion it is VERY fragile.

And yup - Garage Vary front lip. Everyone says they're so fragile, but when I got mine I was able to twist it 90* without any sense that it would crack or break. It felt very flexible to me. Not sure if once it's been installed and weathered if it gets more fragile. Mine will be sitting in the garage most of the time as it's not a daily driver anymore. So hopefully I won't find out the hard way.

Just in case anyone is curious about the light tint... :)

it is some sort of UV coated vinyl of unknown origin. I have a friend who does vinyl decals and wraps on cars. He had some scraps left over after doing the lights on his 350Z that he gave me. No idea of the brand. He only uses good stuff so I wouldn't b surprised if it is 3M or similar.
