I do gotta get back to posting pictures LOL. I will defiantly take some once the weather warms up here in Minnesota. The AMG was a deal I couldn't pass up. Super clean 2011 6.2L NA with 29K miles summer garage queen.

Best thing ever! I did the same exact thing earlier in the fall. Did your sound quality REALLY improve too? or my mind playing tricks on me?

my Bluetooth stopped disconnecting after switching and as for the sound, I didn’t notice anything drastic but the car seems to run a little better

Hey, Jobata, First off, sweet build (my wife won’t let me go that far). Second, I’m curious to know where you picked up the replacement impact bar? I just did my rear bumper swap and had to remove the stock one for proper fitment. Anyhoo, that’s all I got ✊🏽

thanks man, I guess I’m one of the lucky few who gets an approval from the wifey! But I bought my JDM rear bumper as a kit and it included the rear beam, and I got it from Heeltoe automotive

Hah! I was one of the lucky ones up until I blew cylinder 3 and broke my hand swapping out the coilovers on the Speed 3 I owned before the TSX wagon 😖 now the wifey doesn’t want me modding as much. Anyhoo, I picked up my “kit” from Heeltoe also, no mention of a replacement impact bar?!? Guess I’ll have to contact Marcus for more info. Thanks for the response though.

Thank you, well my front fenders are Rolled and slightly pulled and The rear fenders are rolled Only. The Front Has a natural camber of -1 and the rear is set to factory specs of -1 camber and toe is zero all around. Also I added a 5mm spacers on the rear to make it flush with fender and lowered the car a little bit more. Here are a few recent pictures of the car with my final adjustment.

Hey man, looking good.

Just ordered a similar wheel setup. You mind posting some pictures to show how much the wheels poke?

thanks and just look at the pictures above that’s about how it looks, I added a 5mm spacers on the rear to make it flush and the camber and toe are set to factory specs. As for the fronts it sticks out about 1-2 mm and that’s after a roll and slight pull

thanks but The Greddy CBE exhaust never had a clearance issue, The USDM Wagon bumper sticks out more and So the exhaust tips was tucked in more.

I worded that wrong. By issue I mean it being tucked in more because it doesn't look good IMO and may melt a USDM bumper. I am hoping the JDM bumper makes this a non-issue.
