This.


I am just glad that I got a chance to buy these before it was too late. I have always loved these wheels! 20 min after Ken posted the ad, I saw them. At that moment, I knew I had to have them.

Thanks man! They are SVT mirrors

Yay!!!! installed:)

Decided to do a quick update, if you have seen my FF2013 build, pay no attention to this one. The other one will be updated more frequently, this thread will be for everyone else who is not following what is happening in the FF2013 forum.

Kona rack installed! AVS sunroof deflector removed!






I found another great set of wheels today! Bought them off a friend of mine!




I put snow tires on them today! I look at it like this: I gotta have traction in the snow & it's not like I am going to "beat" them up anymore than the rest of the car in the snow. Plus they are OEM and OEM wheels usually hold up better to harsh conditions. The ATS type 10's will be my summer wheels!








I got some Lamin-x today to protect the ST170's


Before anyone starts to discuss why I am using ST200's as winter wheels, read above^ and here is what I posted on Facebook about it as well:

"They wont be anymore ruined by salt than the rest of my car. No point in saying your winter wheels are beater because that would make the rest of your car a beater, cause you still gotta drive it!"

"Only reason I am doing winters and summers is because OEM wheels can stand up to harsher environments"

"My car is too Euro to not use Euro wheels year round"

Do it!!!

Euro is the way to gooo. lol Looks so good brian. Do your tails have a light coat of nightshade on them? It may just be the way the pics were taken but they look a bit darker than usual to me...lol I may be crazy. :p
Thanks!
No, the tails are covered by one of the lighter shades of Lamin-x smoke.

Best way to get parts is to be patient and keep an eye on the BST here and on other forums. All the parts on my car have been purchased and shipped from the US, except for a few small things.

Quick question..could you get a shot of the rear with the bumper lights on? I still have yet to see them lit on someone's car
 
#230 ·
Yes, the paint will be professionally done!

So, I have been doing things again lol I will clean my interior soon!

SVT seats and doorcards:




I re-located my fire extinguisher to the hatch:


SVT snorkel:


I still got a long way to go!
