OMG that is funny! (and honest!) good luck on the rest of the project. More power to you for having the patience to do that type of work!

Congrats in advance on the end result.

This is a customer car we just put together:

It's the first JCW Convertible we've seen.

Mods included 17x7.5" Rota RB wheels, 235/40R17 tires, Cross coilovers, and an H&R rear sway bar. We used 15mm wheel spacers (with longer wheel bolts) to fit the wheels over the front brakes and to clear the coilovers.

You can buy them for less than $400 from many dealers. Not bad considering they include a new grill, nice switch and all of the hardware. I found a great installer who put them on for $150. They are NOT easy to install. I had a set installed about two weeks ago and I love them. They look great and they even put out more light than I expected!

I checked at my local dealer the other day... they wouldn't budge on $550 for the parts and up to $863 for parts and install.

dude forget the dealer, go aftermarket. More options, and more mounting locations. And save some $$ and do the install yourself! Its not very difficult.
