A heat gun, pry tool, a little patience, and then some glue removal. Just make sure you get it all off! It's absolute must have on the car IMO.

As odd as it may seem, I'll have trouble accessing a socket for electricity for a heat gun (unless I take it to a garage) but hopefully fishing line alone can cut it. Glue removal should be good with WD-40 and alcohol.

Maybe get a power inverter that you can plug into your cig outlet that's enough power. I would not suggest doing this without a heat gun or at least a blow dryer, the heat really makes a 200% difference in releasing the glue.

Im just advertising products that work and are great value. I did the same from bmwpartshub when I got a great deal on 827M's.

I will happily spread the word on good organizations to work with - including the installers of these parts and work: European Road and Racing (ERR) in North Charleston. Great group of people. I paid for all work out of pocket - nothing on their side - they're just awesome - highly recommended.

No problem.I wasn’t criticizing you for doing it.

Love the look of the car in this pic and the color almost looks like AW.It’s amazing how much the color changes in different lighting.

It's all good I just want to be clear for everyone that I'm absolutely recommending the products here by quality and value. Yes, ZB can be difficult to photograph - it's a weird color as much as I like it.

That is my favorite angle of the car.

Are you planning on doing spacers? If so what size?

Not at this time. Next mods will be subtle interior and exterior items and a drop via springs or HAS kit, and engine bay dress carbon stuff. After the drop I'll decide if it's worth it.

The wheels and stance are looking absolutely gorgeous on this car, can’t wait to throw these on mine along with a drop and some spacers (12/15mm as I mentioned in the other thread may be too aggressive, maybe 10/10 with a drop is aggressive enough).

I'm watching you n Justin closely cuz you are both individualy doing similar things I plan to do, but months ahead of me. I'm thinking of a mild drop and 10ish mm extra offset (trying to do offset vs spacers, which is why I'm trying to take some notes on how it's going with your setup).

IMO 10 would be the max and likely what will work best. That gives an ET10, basically the same poke as Apex 20x11 in ET 8.

With the camber the way it is, the lower half of the wheel is already even or slightly outward of the fender.
