Jester’s FL5 build journal.

Sweet wheels! I just put my set on, went with vs-5rs 18 x 10.5 et47. Tires choices are slim here on Guam in 285/35 r18. Ended up getting a good deal on Yokohama advan sport v105s. I went with Bronze and they look fantastic on my CBP FL5

Funny, I have been looking at the exact same wheels in silver. It’s very OEM+ looking. I love it!

Yes some tire sizes are difficult to get. But awesome choice!

Its the reason I chose them. Love the oem wheels, just not the offset. So with this I have the same look on a different color plus the weight savings. Its a improvement all over the board.

Any rubbing? That's sick.

None! Apex were awesome in assisting me with information via email before I made the purchase. I am on stock suspension but they did say I could run drop springs and still have to rubbing issues. Maybe next year I'll grab a set of springs to close that bit of wheel gap.

It's pretty ironic that he helped return the car in hopes that you wouldn't sue him... because I have a feeling you probably want to sue him more now seeing everything that's happened to it. Maybe that's just me.

Sorry for your loss, though. That's a heartbreaker.

Yeah man I think he is hoping I will just walk away but it won’t happen. It is unacceptable the condition the car was found. So I will proceed with the suit to make him pay for at least the replacement of the car.

Don't let him off the hook. These crooks have a clear path to do this to someone else if they're not held accountable.

Yes sir! I will chase him through the full extent of the Law.

Well steering wheel came in will go in this weekend hopefully. Also took a picture of the car too good not to share.

So I just received my Cusco wing risers and will post pics of the part when I have a moment. I'm not sure how long it'll take me to install them, but I'm not doing it when I can't feel my fingers outside.

I want to have my dad check them out before install as he's a career machinist, but as someone who knows very little, the quality of these seems to be absolutely incredible. I've reached out to PRL several times about when/if their risers will be available (February/March, maybe), but now seeing these Cusco risers in person... I don't know if PRL is going to outdo Cusco in both cost and quality.

Can you share close ups on the riser and compare to the stock? I’ve been thinking of getting these with the OEM CF wing or the Mugen frp wing.

Yep! They definitely look OEM, just in a taller format. The looping before/after picture on Black Hawk is what ended up selling me on them:

I think they'd look great with the OEM CF wing, but don't expect they'll be compatible with the Mugen wing. It looks like that'll come with its own risers (and the wing itself looks a little too FK8 for me).

I meant it’s this combo, Cusco risers with OEM CF wing or the Mugen wing as my choices of wings to go with.
