Oh and the other day, I wanted to get my fenders rolled from a friend but he told me that he wanted to do it his way..... So i got this halfie. ): Screw paint chips man... He told me to bring in the wheels so he has an idea of how to roll it butttt its okay. Gonna do it myself now.

here's Snow White and some of her dwarves.




i would've taken more pictures but i didn't want people to see me taking pictures of my car... i don't know why i'm just scared to be embarassed LOL. will try to get more of the front, side, and fitment soon!
i also had to slightly pull my front fenders to have a bit of clearance to bust U-turns. used my fingers (with gloves) and a heat gun. you can see the pull in the last picture JUUUUST barely.

@apinwp09GBTSX: HAHA yes! and thanks man!

@mellostack: haha that makes me paranoid too... DDD: buying 500 sets of wheel locks now.

@ttk5: haha i will! and thats funny because after i saw your car, i was really thinking of investing in varrstoens. YOU MORE PICS! i love your fitment and can't wait to see more.

@SlickxAc aahhh! actually yeah thats true..... the rear has a little gap that bothers me like crazyyy. i have to invest in some spacers now. ): but the front is okay with me just because i like to abuse U-turns whenever possible. (:

@doh!: thanks maan!!


UP NEXT: ARP studs, 15mm or 20mm spacers for rears (H&R) andddddd maybe gold lugs or stick with silvies? any opinions on this??? i still have silver brake calipers... D:

@SlickxAc: going to measure it tomorrow when i take better pics! i measured it the first time and it seemed like i could clear a 20mm but my fender isn't completely flat due to some other metal that is welded with it...
if that's not the case, then i didn't roll my fenders completely. )':

better explanation tomorrow.

Got an alignment today and the guy says somewhere between 2.5 and 3".

With the alignment, they say my rears are at around -4 camber.... Should I be worrying? My total toe is .25 now in the rears I believe.. They didn't give me
a print out. /: I think I could trust them though.... Well see. Anyway should I invest in a camber kit (thinking ingalls)? This car will be a daily driver..

I realized my damn coils settled after alignment. -.- it's uneven n shat. Frustrated. D: jskejeksjd. Gonna invest on camber kit to match camber to my fronts of -1.5. Not down to spend 1k every 6-8 months.....
