I tried a similar style on my car...the rims are Falken they are 19x10 all around...the dish is pretty deep. I only have it lowered 1'4 in the front and 1'3 in the rear. My tires are 235/35/19...

[quote=p.diddy;12224832]just my personal opinion but if your going to post multiple of your own pics in some elses thread at least be on his level or have surpassed it.[/quot
Well isn't that what this forum is about??....to post pics of ur car?

I will give my when it's all complete. So far, (IMO) the only two members to pull this style/fitment off and have it look phenomenal, are vipTL and rodneyc77. Everyone else's has looked like ass.
And Papayon, that was a dick move to post your own car in someone else's progress thread... especially when it looks like
I really hope this comes out looking good. Looks like it's going to cost an assload, good luck with it man

I haven't seen any updated pics of wrxyboy's car... last pics I saw it didn't look good at all. The fenders looked horrible, and the Type-S front lip doesn't flow at all with vip wheel fitment.

it doesnt have to be post worthy but a progress log. I went down to the shop atleast twice a week for several reasons.
1st was to let the shopper owner know that i am very involved in my builds even though i wasnt doing the work
2nd was to take pics of the progress for my reference in case shit goes bad (also catch the shopper own in a few of his lies when he tells me that is working on it when pics from the previous week and recent pics show no change. But i had to remember that i am at his mercy or he could do a shitty job just to finish it)
3rd was i wanted to be quality control so that if there was something i didnt like i would let him know.

the shop is 4 hours round trip from me so i cant afford to go out there too often. i do however have complete trust in my guy. ive explained in as much detail as possible what i want, we talk via email, and i email him any picture i see that represents the look im going for.
The truth is, i know he hasnt touched my car that much, but thats okay. small projects pay the bills, and he also has some other big projects in the shop. ill update this thread as i get updates
stay tuned tho!!

i went to the shop yesterday to check out the progress and approve/make changes to the rear fenders...car is still a LONG way out, so i didnt take any pics...but its moving along in the right direction. did encounter a problem tho.....so naturally the 19" wheels raised the car a bit in relation to the 17s, but i cant lower the car anymore, because my driver side rear wheel is hitting my gas tank..i really dont want to have to relocate it, so any suggestions?
