What kind of professional fender work do you need done? You spent all that money on the roller/puller, can't you just do it yourself? Oh, and any updates on the Civic?

so i read this and i realize im a visual person. get some pics son lol
Haha, dang, I really wish I thought about getting pics... It looked glorious, though. I was seriously positive it wouldn't turn by looking at it, but then it did. I was baffled...

I'd like to get them smoothed (there are some thing along the inside of the fender that make the outside have a tiny wave to it when the roller goes over it) and maybe cut and pulled. It'd be super fancy!
As far as the Civic goes, just a new A/C compressor, new rocker moldings, replaced some missing windshield trim, and got some hatch glass struts. I LOVE how the hatch opens! It's seriously one of the coolest ideas ever. I wish they kept doing it! The glass lifts up, then the bottom is like a tailgate, so you can sit on it or haul things or whatever.

Yeah, the wheels were about $2,200 and the tires were $560. I had to get a home loan and use it for wheels.
Just kidding! These are actually Rota Grids. They were like $1,000 special ordered, plus $560 for the tires. And no fake home loans were involved.

Haha, sorry, I had to! Check that last post for the white text. ;)
I'm considering TE37s, though. These were just to figure out what the most aggressive offset I could get was, basically.

That's right! I do enjoy Rotas because you can get that $2,000 look for like half price. I just hate all of the haters! I guess I'm a hater hater... Haha
I really do want some new wheels, though... It'd be fun! I can't decide if I want to stay with a concaved look or go for a lip...

youright. i want te37s REALLY bad, but rota grids are more in my price range. hah. i LOVE the way they look on your car, i'd stick to something similar if i were you. :)
 
you so gay lol. listen dont touch your wheels they are baller. leave the lip idea alone. what you have is great. im going to rock to concave gforces sooner or later.

new wheels are fun! i vote for a rim without a lip! makes the wheel look bigger that way.

also, ............. i'd say........ maybe a..............high spoiler!!!!!!!

Haha, wow! I guess I'll keep looking at TE37s! :)
And thanks for the compliments, gorgeous! That was awkward to type... lol

And I used to think I needed a high spoiler desperately, but the spoilerless carbon hatch look has really grown on me. I just can't even picture it with a spoiler now...
 
I wouldn't change your wheels. Why change your Proven rota grids that are used on track cars all over the nation for TE37's that are made from the same Casting process? If you can simply afford it and it's for baller factor then that's dope, but you aren't going to get the concave look on a TE37's unless you go with an offset of +22 or lower.

Yeah, that's the only downside to the TE37s and the plus about the Grids is the concave factor. Grids will pretty much always have more...
I guess I mainly want TE37s for the custom offset and baller factor, as you said. Haha :)
But when I really think about it, it'd be paying $2,000 for basically the same look. I think that once I get everything setup how I'd like, I'll get them re-painted and get some stupidly expensive lugs.
My goal offsets are +24 in front and +23 in back, so we'll see if I can accomplish that!

TE37's are forged btw, and a hell of a lot stronger.

This is the problem with people thinking all rims are the same. And I rarely see tack cars with rota grids instead of TE37's
