take your wheels/tires to the shop and get them mounted. drive your stuff there in another vehicle, then take the wheels home and mount the spacers/wheels on your TL.

Just saw this, they look great, DON"T forget the tire dressing when you shoot the car gain, your car deserves a nice DSLR dedicated photoshoot. Some motion shots with a camera rig would be insane with the color of the spokes and all!

Thanks for this tips! I will be shooting her with a DSLR tonight, and I believe the local guys and I are getting together this weekend for a photoshoot.

Also, thanks again for your help when they didn't fit and a great product, 100% satisfied

A double photoshoot would be killer! Make sure the tires are not dry, good amount of tire dressing to make the wheels look good!

Yea pinstripe, door ding, and slight hail damage were part of the package when I bought it, but one day I plan to get the body work fixed and repainted.

Thanks Will, I took the pics right around my house (out by DIA, Green Valley Ranch) there is some great open areas where they have put in roads but nothing else, just big open fields with great shots of the mountains. Its a lil far for most people I bet though.

We plan on having me, will (with the other revs), and HOCKEYMAN23 with Legacys all together for some shots this weekend. I will be sure to send them to you

That's not too far for me, if Zach is willing to, we should do our shoot out there.

Also, would love to get some rolling shots too.

Awesome easy for me These shots were taken right off of I-70 so it is an easy drive. Hopefully Zach is down, you wana try and do our shoot before or after we meet up at Park Meadows?

I have a tripod, and most of these roads have no traffic, so we should be able to get some good ones. Just need one of y'all to drive my car

^^ Great pics Chris & Will...lookin good gents. I won't beat the dead horse of the need for a drop man, u already know lol. I should be able to do the meetup this weekend, at least for a little while. I have hockey in the evening, but if I bring my stuff with me it won't be a problem...

Willing to cruise for a photoshoot too, especially if it's a good backdrop & we won't be bothered.
