I was going to change the oil filter housing seal, got lazy and decided to simply change the oil. I will do that seal at my next oil change.

I unclogged the lower tailgate plugs:

And got the 'cojones' out of my dresser to crack open the headlights for angel eye install:

left the amber corners out, installed chrome/amber invisibulbs turn signals. Will post night time pics later.

Thanks to all that contributed to the installation write ups in the "Tips & Tricks" section.

bought used (relatively good shape tho) style 168 wheels off of a woman going thru a divorce battle. $350 for all 4 with 2 good front tires... excellent deal.

Installed my 25mm H&R wheel spacers today - looks gr8 - was worried about 25mm on front but really improves the stance & looks, arches should be here any day.
The spacers come with studs to fix them to the hub so you can use existing wheel studs to bolt wheel to spacer, my wheel studs where about 1-2 mm to long so had to grind them all down, running 20" 168 reps so just be cautious as you could be up for a new set of studs.
