The cutoff profiles are swapped for LHD countries.
Same response. Thanks brother!

Thanks Jawknee, ill give it a look. And theres no way Ive had these bulbs on for 40-50 hours. Ive prob only driven the thing 5k miles since installing these bulbs lol

in other news, mocked up that STI front lip. Doesn't seem like its going to be fun at all. the bending required for it to fit around the a-spec lip seems like a lot of work but we will see how it turns out. Going to wait until my buddy gets his hoist up (soon) cuz we dont feel like rolling around on the ground and with the car lowered its a bit cramped under there

Cutoff is looking good. I still need to adjust mine as well

still not sure how I feel about the lip. Ive only seen a couple cars that really looked good with them, and they required cutting and lots of molding. Interested to see the results

It is a pretty blue.

Do you think he'll like it?
☐ Yes
☐ No


If he likes it, do you think maybe sorta anyway you'll go steady with him?
☐ Yes
☐ No


Do you wanna have him take things to the next level and get them fendas rolled?
☐ Yes
☐ No

Don't leave it to chance...
roll your fenders, take your measurements...
there are too many factors to have us decide for you.
Oddly the Advan wouldn't rub with a 225 at 29MM offset and 9" wide...but my 8.5" aspec with anything over a 15 and 235 would...
Lots of angles and variables...

thats weird .. but didnt you have 235s on your advans for blue?

FWIW, I have all the camber kits front and rear so I got that going for me.. I got you though.. roll fenders first and see whats there for real estate!

essentially if I ran 15mm all the way around id basically have the identical setup as blue.. but Im lower than blue it looks like

going in for a roll next weekend

We will take measurements after and see what we are working with, I want to squeeze as much as I can out of this setup. Might not get to spacers and shit until next season but at least ill be rolled and ready to rock for next season

man i can't believe your car is going back in soon, i feel like you just took it out! that would kill me, i can't go a few days without some spirited driving in my TL!

glad to hear you're going rolled, it's really not that big of a deal even though i think you said you had some past "repair" issues in those areas. skip spacers, buy j's set, and sell your current set haha

I wish I had some upfront money to buy j's set but I can't afford to sit on mine and wait for them to sell. Ill likely get mine refinished in a similar style to his, I love that dual machined lip!

Yea man she's going away mid-late october. It already getting shitty here with lots of rain and fog.. Tell me about man, I barely drove the thing this year! Like 5000 kilometres tops LOL!

On another note, I think my interview went great today.. Yes I know Oil and gas industry is dying but hey its a job right now and a fairly good one. so
