Look Ma, No Wheelgap!

haven't posted pictures in a while, so i thought i'd share what i've been up to this summer. i have to raise it up like an inch because i currently can't get into my driveway without scraping like crazy

questions, comments and concerns are all welcome












don't hate on the license plate frame; it was a birthday present from my 12 year-old cousin




there's also higher quality versions of these pictures on my flickr if anyone's interested

don't get me wrong your car is on point but those in 19's would have been really good. mainly cause the tire side wall is so thick compared to 19's.

rolling fenders and running 0 camber in the back would look even better.

i'm dropped on omnipower coilovers. definitely go for coils, the ability to adjust your height is worth the price

i have, and it would definitely come in handy leaving my car out in the sun all day while i lifeguard, but i don't want to go just anywhere and have them do a shitty job. if i get it, i want to get the third brake light done and don't want that little untinted line around the dot matrix; it would drive me crazy haha

Yeah...luckily when I got my CL it was already completed.

But ask them to apply an extra overlapping strip of tint at the top of the rear window because I heard that dot matrix looks fugly if not done properly.

That is what they did on mine and when I took mine in to get color matched for the fronts they said that was a good thing the previous installers did.

FYI.

Yeah...that would protect your leather too.

I am in LOVE with your car. Looks amazing.
Oh, and don't raise it, just do what you must to not scrape. You get use to it.

P.S. x2 on tint. Dark tint on white cars = sex.
