Don Juan:

Did you ever install the rear wheel spacers? If so, where did you get them? 10 or 12mm? Anyone else?

Also, the factory rear deck spoiler? Invisible shield? Costs and installation.

Thx,

gonzo

I found some spacers here: Hubcentric wheel spacers. Hope this will help in your search.

I have them?installed them about 2 weeks ago?H&R 10mm in the rear. They were supplied by Wheel Power in Huntington Beach (CA) but purchased through Shoreline Motoring (also in Huntington Beach) because Wheel Power is wholesale only.

I also went to Prestige Wheel Accessories (gotta love it?also in Huntington Beach) to buy some black bolt caps. Reason being is that the bolts (extra cost does not come with the spacers) that are used with the H&R spacers are a plain metal (i.e. silver) finish and do not match the factory black bolts. I bought 20 plastic covers to go on the front and back bolts so I would have a uniform look.

The spacers provide a very subtle change and IMHO are well worth it. For me it was purely an exercise in improving the aesthetics in that, to my eye, the rear wheels were tucked in too far. No vibration?no problems?don?t even know they?re there?except when I look at the car.

Hope this helps

Chris
