What have you done to your P5 today?

^^ you and me both... whats the deal with spacers for stock rims..

As long as they are hubcentric, we should be ok. Probably need extended studs if you are going for big spacers (or the spacers that come with studs). Stock P5 wheels are +50, so you will need a smaller one that us with MSP wheels (+55)
 
Yeah I really need some spacers....
thats why i got the +45 offset enkeis. when you get spacers you'll love the look especially with coilovers. you can see the tire sticking out the back at -2.1 degrees :p

i am in the middle of painting my dg grille, nice and hot out today and it is baking in the sun right now! its coming out pretty damn good too!
 
Blacked out the rear badges and spray painted my GReddy exhaust flat black. Installed an AWR front motor mount. Washed and detailed.
 
got done painting my grille, came out very nice and i have very little painting experience. let that be a lesson to you all, dont be afraid to paint things for your car! just make sure you do it the right way!

what color??? really curious cause i'm thinking about doing mine a red with black emblems.......yes i'm serious




mine....i have spent the last hour on the phone with my old insurance about their network shop who fixed my car....

the clear coat on the hatch and bumper is chipping and i just found ANOTHER crack inside the rear driverside door where they replaced the corner. i have been back to this body shop at least once a year since 03.....gimme suggestions.....i've emailed the local rep for safeco and sent pics and what i've been through but what can i do? i'm longer with them so i don't know
 
Just added a billet coolant overflow tank because my old one was starting to crack. ill post pics up soon.
 
Just installed the Progress Rear Sway. Took me a while since its kinda tough to get at the bolts without ramps and with the car being lowered two inches lol. I was really surprised that the bolts broke free as easily as they did.

Oh and for anyone that ever plans on taking their endlinks off for any reason (which is everyone on this forum), do yourself a favor and buy an electric impact off ebay if you don't have an impact already. It makes life so much easier. You don't have to deal with the allen wrench or anything.

I didn't take pics cause it got dark plus you've all already seen a progress sway so no need really lol.

Driving impressions will come when I get back to the apartment from home.... (thumb)
