Nice! ^
They'll be slightly stretched. On the 10.5 front I'll prolly have a 265 and the rear 11.5 will prolly have a 285. No crazy stretch tho. I just got my blitz rear spoiler w/ cf insert in. Gunna install it when wheels and coils go on. Can't wait! If u don't mind me asking can u pm me what your wheels run you? Think I got a ballin deal. Just wanna compare.

It will be a little bit of a stretch, but hell i think my 275 on my 10.5 is too much stretch, i want to bump up to 295

Looks great in the last shot!

Not a fan of the offset and width seeing you could of went wider. Happy you're a fat tire type of guy though!

My engine bay is ripped apart right now and if I had the ***** I'd do a wire tuck too....

<------no *****

Thanks!

And yes, in hindsight i wish i would have gone with wider wheels, but when i bought them i didnt want to risk getting too aggressive of specs so i just played it safe. hopefully i can bump up the tire sizes soon though

Its not that bad honestly, once you start on the wire tuck you will know what to do. but you do have to get a tiny bit creative when you do the fender wires lol its really just time consuming.

Lol, looking at that last pic... your car goes against everything Bottom Out represents

You need to add front and rear to complete the look... it looks unproportional with just side skirts IMO.
Subscribing to your new additions, looking good ryaano.

Hey i told them before hand that im not slamming my car lol but i am scraping now that the sides are on

oh definitely, it looks very unproportional lol give me time dont worry, still trying to figure out a rear setup. I wanted the top secret diffuser, but its slightly common nowadays. Front setup will be either a christmas or birthday gift to myself lol

are you going to IFO stogey?

Haha... it's okay scraping side skirts and front lips here and there, that's what happens when your car is aggressively lowered. It's when your car scrape on a flat road or you can't go over 60mph on the freeway without bottoming out, creating sparks and yanking out o2 sensors... is when $hit just gets real.

IFO, I'll probably show up for an hr or so just to bs with past/current members I ain't seen in a while. You're showing right? I can tell you who the winners are already... no need to register lol.

GL at the show!

Cool. Letters are fading as the week goes by. Still looks good but needs to be re-highlighted. I'll look for yaw and say what's up to the crew.

MANNNN its been forever since ive been on this thread lol quick question for people running bucket seats...

I switched my rails to the buddy club low rails since my other base mount sat wayyyyy too high and i was practically rubbing my head against the ceiling. I love how low i sit now but the the rails are wider than the seat and since i had to force the rails and seat to all work together the seat doesnt slide back or forth and it squeaks and creaks bad on every turn

is there seat spacers? or just something im over looking?
