Thanks for the comments, guys. Sean, you speak the truth haha...I love the way she sits right now.
haha Jeremy, trust me the thought did cross my mind at first, but right now I'm tucking tire and there's probably 2mm of gap between the tire and fender. I don't think I could go to a 25mm spacer by any means.
If you look at the pics at the bottom of the previous page, you can see that since I dropped the rear more, it sits slightly lower than the front. It doesn't look bad like this, but the non-symmetry does irk me a little. Should I lower the front about 1/4" or so?

Thanks Tyler!
Just for shits and giggles, here's a time-lapse vid I made of one of my weekend tasks. Trampoline time! The GoPro only captured about half of the assembly before it died, but it still turned out to be a neat vid IMO.

Thanks man. After I uploaded it, youtube "recommended" a bunch of other time-lapse vids people have made of their trampoline builds....guess I'm not the only one with that idea haha.

Yay or nay? This crossed my mind last night, so decided to do a mock up to see what it would look like:

Wow, WDP is probably the "cleanest" of the TL's. It seems like everyone with that color has a super clean looking car, the white is just so crisp and photogenic. I didn't read every post so excuse me if this has been asked/answered before but, how low are you from stock setup? Just asking because I'm getting 18's on 235 tires and REALLY don't want to roll fenders.

Thanks Aaron, I used iMovie to create the vid. It was really easy actually. Just dragged the .jpgs from the GoPro into iMovie and it pretty much did the rest. It even lets you export directly to youtube.
I like the wheel rendering too...thinking about mixing it up a little.

Nooo! I'll get pulled over instantly if it's any darker. Another reason I'm jealous of you FL guys.

Haha, darkest here I believe is 25% fronts and 15% on the rears.

A little lighter so you can see the design of the wheels from far away

^Thanks for the advice. Yeah, thinking about it more, since my winter (OEM) wheels are gunmetal, I don't think I want to create another dark set of wheels.

Ahh the infamous tint vs. tints debate. Love it. Although I believe the word, "tints" is a reference to sunglasses, it does sound awkward in this context. Kind of like saying "sheeps".

But it's "window tint" not "windows tints".
