lol! idk... here's what i did...


roll rear fenders.. trim bumpers so theres like nothing... then slight pull due to me having 18x8.5 +30 in the rear and bottoming out with zero camber when i was on springs...

everytime i bottomed out.. i guess the wheels pushed my rear fenders out of a bit...

for the fronts... i pulled out all of my fender lining... and then slightly rolled those tabs that hold the fender lining to the fender... probably get a real fender roller and roll the rest out.

dude everytime I would hit a bump and heard the rub, I felt so much pain. I didnt want it to warp my quarter panels somehow, at least it worked out for you. I dont get why they made fender flares for the front but the rear is flat.

Rides looking sweet guys!. MrChan you need to camber bro! It looks really weird. It almost looks like the rear is caster. Put some camber and tuck them a little. I dunno how it is over there but the roads cant be as bad than Vegas is. Im like -2.5 or maybe more. haha. I like both of them! keep it clean!!

you can get luminics bulbs to make the high beam chrome look yellow, or piaa bulbs to make them the multichrome look... btw piaa bulbs dont fit without taking out the rubber sealing lol fail...

meh I've been wanting to go lower but haven't had the chance and this is my DD josh drives maybe once or twice a week I drive 7 days a week so ride height is going to be diffrent. Once I go lower I'll adjust the camber, my camber was at like -2.5 before but I changed it back to 0 so it'll be flush, but as soon as I drop the car more I'' go with a little camber. Probably going to drop it another inch all around we'll see what happens and thanks for all the compliments guys

Oh well...all it means is that you sanded off any clear coat protection.

They will return to yellow a lot faster...

You'll be restoring again sooner than later if you avoid it.

You can pick some up...I did a bunch of research on it before.

Usually they sell it along with a "headlight restore kit" (which is all you need) in a couple of ounces sample size.

Otherwise, they sell it in a bottle.

Maybe you can just put it in some sample bottles and sell it off to your friends.

Then...you can hustle UV protection...

you should have just got it in CF , no paint needed, plus bitches and dudes....

You could get the JDM spoiler then again, I havent really seen anyone from Cali rockin the 3pc......im the only one in NY with the CF one, I know you seen Blackrains car, your just missing the 3pc........that 3pc is the sickest spoiler for our cars handsdown.........
