Spacers? They look like 20mm. What's your wheels specs Tanner?

TDavis · 11-20-2013, 10:58 PM

22mm.

HotShot on GAOC got some 25mm spacers on stock wheels and they sat near flush with the fenders, Mine are 1.5" wider and have a 7mm offset less then stock so I was trying to find a median in between to where both sets look nice. I posted a pic on here showing what it should look like.

Technically I think I would need a 18mm spacer for the aftermarket wheels to sit flush since the offset is 7mm less but I think wheel width plays a factor also.

How about video? Traded the Honda mini van for this e36 just to do this prototype. Love the sound, can't wait to button it up and drive it!

BTW since Jim hoe likes to pester me about putting on my spacers on both forums I'm putting them on tomorrow. Same with finally putting on my newly painted rear calipers.

ItsMeScottG · 11-22-2013, 10:02 AM

Installed GT tails on the GA last night, finally

Pontiac_guy99 · 11-22-2013, 10:12 AM

So yesterday I web over to mobridge to look at junkyards but found a black 4dr gt at a small dealer instead. This could be my opportunity to do a se>gt. should I do it if I saw that one of the door moldings was held on by 4 screws and not the adhesive? Also the little black stripe/line thing that goes across the bumpers is halfway off. Yay or nay?

Yeah we're going to Ford at my dads work to use a lift n such and might even finally get my gauges installed.

Painted the interior A pillars a "Light Neutral" color, couldn't find the beige that matched my car. And the "Taupe" that they had was no where near it, this Light Neutral color is a little lighter but still flows with the interior, gives it a new look.

TruGreenGAGT · 11-22-2013, 12:05 PM

Paint the other pillars too match

TDavis · 11-22-2013, 12:13 PM

Yeah I took out the passenger pillar too.

TruGreenGAGT · 11-22-2013, 12:18 PM

How bout the B and C pillars? Serious paint them all to match and no one will know that it not oem

TDavis · 11-22-2013, 12:39 PM

I will do those later one, since I now know I can paint safely in my room I'll take them off as well.

Any chance you know how to take them off without breaking the damn fragile clips that have on them, not mention how they come off at all?

The shade isn't that much of a difference to where you would notice the B and C pillar being different. But I will paint them.

TruGreenGAGT · 11-22-2013, 01:06 PM

You have a coupe or sedan can't member?

On my coupe the B pillar simple snap off once the upper seat beat bolt is removed

The C pillar just snaps off

TDavis · 11-22-2013, 01:24 PM

Yeah I have a coupe.

I see, I'll get to that later on. I'm assuming the clips are the same like the ones on the A pillars?

Yeah, just be careful with them. Those are a PITA when they break. Mine broke under my seat belt bolt. It annoyed the **** out of me.

gtsouth · 11-23-2013, 01:34 PM

I was thinking of these. What do ya think?
