anyone know how much the spc camber kits with toe bolts allow you to go? Ill be pulling off about -7 camber however im not sure if modifying the toe that SPC gives me is going to give me enough range. Ill be fitting a 19x12 +/- 0 offset. I tried rolling my fender however since they are shaved it just split it. Now all ive done is jump on the car with a book between the wheel and fender lol.
I got SPC rear kit on mine, I don't know what they list to be their maximum ranges are, but I will tell you I'm maxed the fck out at I think -4.5 to possibly -5 from my remember on my last alignment, the toe is in check however so props to the toe bolt addition to their kit.... I got similar specs to your wheels so I thought it would be useful info for you, it's a 12.5 with +5 offset, so I think the SPC would work for you, but you will have to pull your fenders, and you could do the same method my shop used, I also had cut/shaved fenders like you so they did some extra cutting and welding on the inside of the fender then pulled it out WITHOUT damaging my paint on the outside, so don't let any shop take advantage of you and tell you it can't be done without fcking up and repainting your whole quarter panels. It cost me $400 for both fenders get this done. All the other local shops told me they would have to completely fck up and repaint the quarter panels all that at about $1000+ per side
here's my car

Are you sure they welded it adon?
I would think the heat will bubble the paint..... I'm going to have to try what milt said and use some sealant to "close the book" lol
It looks like thats what they did to yours after they welded it, but I wonder if the sealant will hold up? :/

yea they welded the seams together after they were done,, otherwise it would just split apart, also it would leave the outside of the fender very fragile, basically to the point where you can bend the metal with your bare hands.. so yea had to be welded and reinforced... but it took a few days doing it slowly and carefully so they wouldn't fck up the paint.
yea sealant is a must afterwards, will hold up if you use the right kind, i dont know what they used but i trust it's the right kind. Rust and all that especially where I live it rains all year round, we dont have any snow in winters so no salt on the roads really but still rain all year round, gotdang pacific northwest

you dont think the seam sealer would just pull apart also? or is hard enough to roll once its dry? once the fender split it just started to get wavy and return to its same position

Got any more pics? I'd love to see some diff angles, especially a REAR shot!
Also that's the first time I've seen a 370z amuse front bumper on a z, I was never sure if strafe ever sold any since they never acually released pics of it installed, unless it's a diff bumper,
Maybe vex can confirm since he's the one who started the whole idea
Looks nice!
But need more pics!!!!!!! Lol

that blue z is way too high... 19 or 18's would have looked way better imo
that hood is fugly
color matched headlights look tacky
However, gotta admit the pull on the rear fender looks super smooth!

i wasnt trying to discredit your opinion..personally think 19's would have been better also...i was just commenting on the last statement about the pull
