    It's super easy! Just rip off the plastics for the trunk, I think it's like 3 .. 10mm bolts? And you can get the plugs at home depot for like 87 cents and paint it up.

    I also ran a silicon bead around mine to keep out the rain.

    All that rear wiper is good for is scratching up your back window!

    Is that where my scratches came from? I was sure it was from the guy that tinted my windows. Do you know what size roughly that plug was? I'll do that this weekend when I redo the interior.

    it was super easy, I did mine a long time ago and took just a few minutes really. I say go for it, clean the rear up.

    Shaved emblem looks incredible, I love it!

    Yup!
    Same with front windshield, although usually front isn't bad unless you never wash your car.
    But yeah, hatches or "top drop offs" always have the same consequence, since all the dust and crap drafts and sticks on the windshield, when you use that wiper it runs those little bitty specs of dust and tiny bits of rock dust and smears it all over the place.

    Should look great, I think Dave is running very similar specs on his Equips.
    And I know a guy from Russia who had just the same Blitz wheels on his previous 3

    I love the new wheels Jocelyn. I have always been a sucker for Blitz 01's. My friend Michael had a set on his S2K back in the day. Probably my favorite car to ever pull these wheels off, so i'm stoked to see them on your car being as he sold his S2K.

    LOVE the overseas style front bumper on that hatch. I wish I could find someone selling one.

    Thanks you guys! I'm super stoked! Just dropped one wheel off today to get some curb rash repaired. The guy there was very helpful in enlightening me on how to take apart and clean the other wheels. Thanks to Nuse for giving me the jewelry cleaner idea for the bolts. The guy at the shop agreed with that. And then even told me what to torque the bolts to when I put it back together.

    Will clean and polish them tomorrow while I'm waiting for my other wheel to be done. I will be getting them a day or two before I have to leave for WA for Forum Fest. Cutting it close!!!! Will have to bribe one of my friends to go get the tires mounted while I'm at work.

    Trying to figure out a lug nut color. Have to redo my interior with better adhesive. Tranny drain and fill tomorrow too. Busy weekend!!

    sick wheels. can't wait for a pic of them on the car. did you end up getting 225 tires for them? I don't see why 225 wont work on the 9. there should be enough clearance out in the back. I have the exact same setup but went with 205 and 215.
