haha my bad, i should added that. But tons of work put in, rolled and a slight pull in fronts was all i need because running -4 camber up front with the ingalls complete camber kit, minus using eibach ball joints. As for the rears tons more was done; rolled and pulled fenders, relocated rear bumper tabs, scraped off some glue from inside fenders that prevented from pulling, and i am using eibach rear camber kit with no after market control arms on the rear with -4 in rears as well. dropped on FF2's

so sick. polished battles look so nice on black cars. definitely on point with the fitment

they do sell the 3 piece replica on heeltoe but i think it's overpriced.

On those rare occasions where you do see another 2g, its creates an automatic bond where its completely okay to walk up to stranger and start a conversation. haha youre trying to leave h town, when i go there all the time. houston's awesome

Thanks! Yes, i drive it just about every where i go. so far i've been doing good on tires for the rears, as long as my toe stays in place. had the same set since April of 2011. For the fronts, this is my second set. Tends to go out of place more b/c the slightest bumps on the road can knock your toe out of place.
