thanks. well the offset is +25 and i had to run a spacer to get it out like i wanted.as far as the mirrors go someone hit the driverside and broke it and i got to readn about u and the 203 mirrors and thought of going that route.i like the look.hopfully going to the paint shop soon where i can repaint the thing.i also wana go @ a 1/4 inch lower in the front.i think i can get away with that while doing minimal fender work.although id rather go air runners but not since its my daily and i got to many other project cars going on :pat:

$250 shipped for both mirrors (heated and dimming). I have a Grosser WALD kit, which is the front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts.

my ball joints went out. replaced with aftermarket and never had a problem after that. i did have a problem with the upper control arms. both of the joints on that were shot and leaked all the grease out.
