zman- btw, just for reference my current setup running 19x10.5 and 275/35/19 DW's are at least 15mm wider overall vs 19x10 stock 19's with 275/3519 RE050A's.

this is why i can get away with running ET15 on the rear and still looking

Cool.

I have a Nissan OEM fog light and the full wiring kit from Motorsport Auto and they are the last remaining parts sitting on my mod shelf. I am reluctant to install it because of the amount of interior panel disassembly that appears to be involved. I am trying to build up the gumption to tackle it in the next few weeks.

mr.onzedge- would it make sense to add rear view camera and perhaps dynamat while doing the fog lamp install?

(highly recommend).

For some, maybe. I am not bothered by road noise and am used to reversing the car using the mirrors. The Juke has a backup camera and I don't use it really.

Oh yeah, Happy Friday, Mr. Kenchan.

It is weird, but cool. It drives nicely and handles well. I like the 6 speed, but it would have been better to have AWD and manual, but they do not make it that way.

It is the perfect Mrs. Dr. onzedge car. Most of her colleagues over at UC Davis drive Toyota "Shoot Me Now, I Have Given Up On Life" Prius, so she stands out a bit -- which I think she secretly likes to do. It also has a far superior sound system than the 370. Driving in today, I brought along Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy and it sounded very good and detailed.

ahh, just thought i throw that in there cause i ended up removing my trunk liner 3 times. hahaha.

(fog, camera, dynamat).

back in the day when i had a WRX i had to make a 3 point turn along a narrow private road... it had these decorative rocks about the size of a volley ball along the side of the road on both sides spaced about 2ft apart. they were tall enough to damage rear valance/exhaust, but too small to see through the rear glass and hard to tell depth from just the side mirror.

a rear view camera captures things you CAN'T see out the rear glass or mirrors.

i use it each time i back up.

It was Z Spa day at Chez Gurney - washed, clayed, polished, and waxed. Got the Ken-san Special - all Griot's products.

Here's some pictures that show the ride height with stock springs as well as the look with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers and Nismo rims. Got my 10mm H&R DRS spacers for the rear in yesterday. They'll get installed when the car goes back to the dealer for the bumper repaint.

Got a Show and Shine tomorrow, so I pulled the front plate and put on my tow hook. Since I habe the gomini mount, it just screws right into the Nismo plate mount.
