I have completed a few changes recently to my B13. First I got some Rota RBs in the 15x7 30mm offset size, first time I bought wheels for the car ever. Also acquired 4 BFG G-force sports in the 205/55/R15 size. These tires hook up so much better than my old 195/60R14 Azenis, it's like a different car. Plus the added diameter of the larger tires suits my B15 transmission's 4.4 final gearing much better than the smaller sized Azenis. I cut the fender lip off in the rear as you can see in the one pic. I heard it slightly rub once in the rear during the test run, nothing some minor fender coaxing with a baseball bat can't fix. As some of you might remember I have been only running the outer fogs in the sunny bumper because the intercooler piping was in the way of the inners. I separated the glass from the housing of the inner fogs and rigged them in there with some safety wire, I think it looks way better than just running the outer fogs. I also got some yellow headlight film for the outer fogs and slapped that on. Last but not least I changed all of the interior lighting to Blue LEDs, even the cigarette lighter!

:eek2: Whoa, you actually cut the rear wheels lips off! That was a big mistake for sure. How come you just didn't roll them?

I'd do the inner fogs in yellow too but other than that it looks good from the outside.

Thanks man. The only reason I didn't do anything with the inner fogs was because I wanted to make sure I would be able to mount them first! I was going to just buy some more yellow film but that's not a bad idea to go with something like a dark smoke tint or something along those lines. The blue lights at night are not bad at all. I did not use exactly the same leds as the write-up in the tech library mentions, I used slightly less bright LEDs in the cluster. I used the following all puchased from superbrightleds.com, all of them blue in color:

4 bulbs in cluster: WLED-x (4 of them)
HVAC bulb: WLED-x5
Cig lighter: 74-xHP
Autometer boost guage: WLED-x5

The other guages were already LED backlit. As a bonus my car is a 1994 which has an electric speedometer, no speedo cable to mess with when pulling out the cluster!
