I have a friend trying to do the same thing. Turned out pretty dope.

 

Trying to do what?

 

He has a Base TL. He's actually on here. He wanted my Type S wheels, he wants to change his grille and add a rear spoiler.

 

Hopefully doing some front fender work tomorrow as I'm rubbing like crazy right now.

 

It's gotta be an optical illusion, but your rear camber looks crazy POSITIVE in that last pic.

I'm really digging the darker shade man. I know it wasn't planned, but it couldn't have worked out any better...other than instead of just the color being off they'd have been Works instead.

 

LOL, the car looks like it's twisted!

 

Just trim the tab, Dan...on the front, go at it with a dremel and touch up paint.

 

Isn't the tab close to where the fender and bumper meet? If so, I'm actually rubbing almost in the middle of the fender at its highest point in turns that I'm going up and incline or turning going down a decline

 

Wow man can you get out of your driveway without scraping?

 

Have about 1/2 inch of clearance at that point

 

We have a winner winner chicken dinner. Tab is killing the tires so until I get a dremel and shave it off I raised it up a bit

 

I like chicken

I know, you'd think it's the fender itself, but if you're rubbed that front tab is a mofo...I've gone at it with dremel to put a cut across where the fender transitions to bumper...because that won't roll/hammer (lots of structural rigidity)...in the end though, best bet is to keep the roll down flat and use dremel to just trim away and make it flat...touch up paint and that's that.

 

Uploading a video now that you can hear the clicking noise as I drive by. It makes the noise with out even touching the brakes and makes the noise louder while pressing them. If I can't figure it out in the next 2 days then I'll throw the factory rotors and pads back on before the meet this Saturday.

 

Dan, I tried using NON chamfered pads on mine originally and it made that terribly annoying whirring sound. MUCH worse from the rear. It got a lot better when I swapped into those evolution pads that were included but you can still hear it. Last go, I actually got out my angle grinder and put a much more pronounced angle to the edges. It helped...

A clicking sound, I'm not sure about...I will say that I had a horrid noise at one point and it was when I'd turn one way the cotter pin from the bottom control arm balljoint would hit the dust shield.

 

Glad everything worked out, Dan!

 

Hope to have the tab trimmed either Thursday or Friday so I can go back to where the car was.

 

This is why I love Firestone. Raised the car up a hair where it was rubbing on the bumper/fender tab. Didn't have the time to trim them both off right now. After raising it up I stopped by Firestone to have them realign it. Hour goes by and they come get me and ask if anyone else has done an alignment on the car. Inform then that no one has and they tell me one of my tie rods is damaged and not adjustable. Told me to come back later and they put a new one on and cover the price and labor as they believe one of the techs did it during an alignment. Glad they owned up to it. Got the car back last night around 7:30.

 

WOW thats nice of them

 

Genuine customer service is a rarity these days. Stick with those guys!

 

I'm glad they took care of you Dan

I'm excited to get some good pictures of your car tomorrow. No more driveway shots!

 

But...but... how will we know it's his car?

Glad they fessed up to it, Ive known some shady places that would have blamed it on you and charged you for it.

 

What's funny was I sent bee a pic a little while ago since he wanted to know if my car was clean. He texted back that he was disappointed I still hadn't provided a shot of my car in the neighbors driveway

 

 

Wow....glad to hear there are still honest businesses out there.

 

 

nice....me likey

 

Damn.....look at that stance!

 

Looks fast.

 

Looks are deceiving

 

Buy a real camera already.

 

Why? I just rent you.


I really need to though

 

You have kids...of course you need to!

 

I still can see the top of the neighbors house.

 

Nice car @rockstar143

 

My favorite

 

Your car has come a long way. You should be proud!

 

^^^Savor that sh*t...he never says anything nice about the people he loves.

 

 

 

Maybe that means I don't like Daniel.
