i'm telling you man - it is a good feeling, the wife and I are trying to buy a house, so one less payment is huge, and we're going to work a hardcore plan to be debt free by the end of the year (credit card is mainly the last debt) to put us in good running to begin looking early next year.

I still have the NSX (NA1 or NA2) fund going too one day, one day...

ok so I just went thru yuer entire thread for like the 2nd time haha, so my question is how is the VHT Burnt Orange holding up?? I had the same exact color all over my Element SC and never had any issues. I did the same to the TL and it didn't stay on long at all before it start to crumble up. Now I'm going to have to go back and sand it all off and think of what went wrong? In my head the color scheme is going to have that burnt copper in the calipers and headlights so the plastic engine covers ties it all together

it's been holding up pretty good, the only issue I have is the radiator cover - it's cracked from flexing when i take it off, but otherwise they still looking good - but i'm thinking to strip it all - wanting to paint them black and then hydro dip them CF. maybe

I'm curious about your wheel specs. 18x10 +25 in the front with a 245? What is your camber? Im running 18x9 +30 with near -1 and still rubbing and it looks like your around the same height as me and I'm rolled lol. I was going to change to 225s so I can go lower. Do you have any issues with rubbing

yeah man - his editing came out pretty good on that shot - i like how he took the yellow out from the fog light so you could the see the color on the light rings/turn strip better - although now I see more imperfection in the outer plastic

yep that is correct on the wheel specs and tires - 245/40. I am rolled flat in the front, fender liners have been removed - and they are slightly pulled front and rear - when I got my last alignment done - my camber was at -1.6 in front, and -2.4 in the rear. i do not have any camber kits - lol - i do have the skunk 2 UCAs that i need to install. I did have issues with rubbing on my last set of wheels/tires - much skinnier though at 18x8.75 - with 235/40 it was the tab (where the fender bolts to bumper) was eating into the sidewall - so i shaved those down and i have no more rubbing. I am currently sitting about 24" from ground to fender lip in front, and like 24.5" ground to fender lip in the rear. But at current settings, I do not rub, unless I go over sudden dips and that's only in the front, got plenty of room to go wider in the rear So you might be lower than me. I'll re-measure my ground to fender height again to check...

nice man! yea that all makes sense. I still need to play around with mine to get it perfect as I do have all the kits so I need to fine tune each side.... I think thats the diff is you have a slight pull! i had to dial in like -3.5 in the rear to get it to fit. 18x9 +25 on a 235 and it hasn't rubbed once but the front I'm getting chewed apart. Might switch to 225s lol

The pulling definitely helped! seeing as your still getting chewed up on 235s you probably are lower. Just massage those fenders bro - it'll help out! Good luck buddy!

thanks buddy, once he gets me the rest of my edited photos i'll be posting them up - check out my instagram also - only car photos on there - @majestic_ua6

i like stretch too - i get worried about the outer wheel edge being exposed without the buffer of the outer tread - but 225 on a 9" will be a baby stretch - like a .25" difference, should look pretty good! Keep me posted bro.

Hey J - did you come up for the show? There were some sick cars though - my buddy brought out his newly acquired mkiv rhd supra - the white one from Baker Built Garage sitting with all the Black Ops people...
I'm kind of in the same boat, I can appreciate the build - and the time it takes to get the fitment just right, but just not my thing, I rather have more functionality in my set up!

Yes one of the biggest turn outs to date - and they do a pretty good job too, for moving traffic through, and getting people parked...etc..i do enjoy the show!

Hmm - yes - the people want to know Steven?

I would say, i don't mind the fender to lip fitments, and offsets - but the overly used negative camber is not my spot o'tea. I'm okay with -7, maybe up to -10 - anything more than that - too much for me. But i still respect the builds...
