Yeah, but at least you had a legitimate excuse lol - David was like "alright, 2nd one and where's Stephen at..." haha - I told it was your birthday weekend and you were out of town and hit up the Dragon so he excused your absence

Neka was the new addition - she mentioned she has had honda's/acura's and she is looking to do more to her 3G - another NBP - so i'm no the lone wolf anymore. Hopefully we can keep this going and a larger group to show up...

Yeah haven't had any issue with them, and it doesn't hurt they have a location in Orlando so if needed I could drive there to get warranty assistance, and I maybe getting them re-valved to do stiffer springs...maybe upgrading to swifts as well

haha - i'm running 12f/10r - i thinking to go at least 16 f/r - maybe even 18 not sure, i like the beefier tire set up on 245/40 and my fronts are rubbing on heavy dips nothing bad...but i'm thinking to maybe look at 255/35 - or 265/35 and if I want to stay at my same height I will need stiffer springs

bro, there's no need for thicker than 245...why create a problem if you're ALREADY rubbing. If anything stiffen up so you keep what you got and THEN NOT rub.

true, i'm already rolled flat and pulled in the front, and I shaved down the tabs, i think i have isolated the rubbing to the point where the fender comes to a point right above the bumper, so i need to pull that out some and I should be clear of any more rubbing issues.
I just want to go wider on the tread - so i was thinking 255/35 wouldn't necessarily add height going down to a 35 series sidewall...i dunno, nothing in cement, and thank you for the feedback sir! appreciate it,

You're welcome!
in the front, the WORST place you're going to rub is where the fender transitions to meet the bumper. that's where you'll slice up tires. You need to get in there and put a cut at the very edge (to eliminate the structural integrity that comes from that bend/transition)...then hammer that flat (CAREFULLY)!

So I did a thing - digging it for now, I ran out of material to complete the grill, i do have some wrinkles on the fenders but it was my very first time to do it, i have a better idea of how to do it next go round, good thing about it too, is that when I get tired of it, I can remove it, unlike paint

yeah yeah, I know that spot, I took a dremel to it and grinded it down flat - that was slicing my tires up when I first dropped it last year, now i'm not getting any slicing, just a hit every once in a while over dips...

yeah, just the fenders for now, i did also do the gas cover, rear license plate trim, and then was going to do the grill (only was able to get the hood trim piece).

I've gotten some compliments on it, and several people have already told me to wrap the whole lol - so I dunno. Gonna rock it for a while now.

yeah, i'm not completely sold on it lol - so at least just on the fenders and some accenting pieces, i don't have to be fully committed to it, and I've been looking at other designs contemplating doing the full car, but i would definitely have some help to do it lol...but yes, the snow/artic camo is sick! breaking some necks

Yeah, it took me a good while to get the fenders done - but i imagine with experience comes speed - knowing how to apply and where to make your cuts etc... If I wrapped the whole car I would def get a helper - especially when having to wrap the bumpers, hood, roof etc as those would have to be done in one piece and laid just right to get most of the wrinkles/air pockets out...it would def be a challenge, I may just start collecting the pieces and could be a summer project...maybe, like i told J not completely sold on it yet
