Okay I had some free time yesterday and decided to install the coilovers into the car. It was so hot with no shade. I did the rear first and it was an ass getting inside of the panel. I had to run to autozone to get a small extension and everything worked better after. These are bad pictures due to my camera was shot. So I had to pull out my iphone for all these pictures. Ill try get some better pictures later. I was also lazy to take shots, hahaa.




Then I had to ride like this for a little while because it was so damn hot. I waited till the sun goes out then work to the front. lol.



Finally did the front later..





Got bored and messed around with instagram and stuff.

9.5 seems to be a pretty good width. im at +42 in the front (with 3mm spacer, so i guess that makes it +39) and +30 in the rear.

fitment is just what i wanted. but other's would want more flushed set up haha. browse around and see what set up you like and go from there, that's what i did

That actually looks pretty good. You should lower the rear a bit more!

These are 19x8 offset 40... sits almost exactly flush up front, and it could use a small spacer in the rear to match the front. Hope this help. Your car looks great!

It's gonna look badass! But after you install all of the lips, I think you'll need some more aggressive wheels.

use some heat to shape and mold it. then when you install, use double sided 3m tape, and maybe bracket sand what not if they have it

I like how you gave advice on how to do exactly what your shop did to your lip. Then act like that's what you did yourself so it should be easy hahaha

Just messin' of course

but choad504~ you wanna paint it when it's almost perfectly formed to the bumper, otherwise when you are stretching/conforming it, the paint will get messed up.
