rims, springs, shocks installed today`

Got my rims (17" Tantrums), springs (Eibachs) and shocks (Tokicos) put on today, and it looks absolutely sick. The car is lowered just right, and the wheels look gorgeous; 17s were definitely the way to go. I'll get some pics up soon.
Two things that I didn't expect; first, I really don't feel any loss of power like everyone said there would be, and two, the center caps on the rear wheels didn't fit! The dust cap or whatever the hell that thing is called is in the way.
Anywho, I'm just stoked about my car's new look and just needed to let it all out.

Do a search. I think NickStam has directions to install them.

Sorry dude, I had them installed by a qualified professional. I only trust myself installing bolt-on stuff like my intake, y-pipe and muffler.

When I got my tantrum mounted the rear wheel caps did not fit but the guy at the tire shop used a flat head screw driver and a hammer and hit off the cap that was on the wheel of the car.

I can't post pics until I get a hold of a digital camera on Monday.
BTW Nismo, where did you get that two-tone leather cover for the automagic shifter?
