No teasers here; ABP on BBS and some other minor changes ;)
New mods:
-18x8.5+32 BBS LM on 225/35/19
-Pulled fenders (approx 10mm) <--- you can really see the pull/baby flare on the 2nd and 3rd pic
-Molded '03 Acura TL lip kit onto front CL bumper
-Went back to Tein basics (my 2nd suspension set up for the car)
Hope you enjoy! (I waited a damn month for the car to be finished lol)
Addt'l notes:
-Car sits at 2 fingers in the front, 0.5-1 finger in the back at the moment. Taking it to another custom alignment shop that will give me 1 finger all around
-Car sits at -2.2fr and -2.8rr in regards to camber settings; i made sure toe was in spec so that my tires won't eat up like a mofo.
Upcoming plans:
-Paint bottom grating on front bumper black (miscommunication and the shop sprayed the whole thing blue lol)
-Looking for sides/rears that I really like and will be able to mold (currently no kits for the CL that I actually like)
-BBK (looking at a set of endless or wilwoods) Apples to oranges I know.
Thanks for looking! REAL photoshoot coming soon!

everything looks good but yeah you need to lower it more. if i was going to be pulling/stretching fenders i would have gotten wider wheels with a larger lip. you just opened up a huge window of wheel options- you can do better than those IMO.

and yeah, with the fender pull, i definitely could go with something even more aggressive, but i'm pretty fixated on the LM's.
I actually picked up the LM's first, got them fitted, and did the pull with them in mind.
But it's nice to know that I have the option to go a bit wider
.The rears are actually tucking really comfortably at -2.8 camber, I'm probably going to put it around -2.5 so it sits more flush to the fender edge.
socal love =P

RIP Dodge Shadow
18 x 8.5 on a 225/35/19 tire? dare i say im confused. do u mean 19 x 8.5?
and 02CLNOS...the bodyshop more than likely heated the fenders up then pulled and rolled em so as to not crack/chip the paint. but im no expert so im just guessin.

Thankyou. I just wanted to extend mine out some. I can't get enough of the widebody look without braking the bank. All and all "time for sleep" the car looks grate with the wheels!

but Tein is right, that's pretty much what they did; apparently they use some sort of special tool to do the pull so as to make it even, and they did roll the underside. It seriously feels smooth as hell.
either way, i'm going to be playing around with the camber anyway to get the best look

niice! love the clean paint. Nice rims also except for personally i think the red in the middle is a negative. Are you planning on going with a more aggressive wheel fitment per fender pull?

woooo!!
Sweeeeeeeeeet!
Get the camber settings right, even the lowering (hard to tell right now because there isn't a full side shot), perhaps a half/full finger gap lower? ...and it'll be massively rocking! Looks good, Tim. But seriously, waited a month?

Jeeez Tim your car's looking great 
the fender flare looks totally natural and i like what BC did with the 02-03 lip
once you get the camber and drop fixed it'll look amazing

Very nice. I like the more aggressive fitment more and more I see them.
You guys on the west coast don't realize on how lucky you are to have places to do that kind of work. I have nothing even remotely of that aspect. The search continues...
