Next mod was fenders rolled and the plastic piece that hold the 2 rear fenders together cut and squared out to prevent rubbing.
Wheels waiting patiently to get installed.

I told him to square it out and he just cut it a little bit, he did not remove the entire clip and he put a screw a little further back and its holding very well. When you go so aggressive in rims size its going to rub no matter what you do, so far its working well and no rubbing. If your going to go with 10.5 in rear and tires are 275/30/20 that setup has allot of meat, if you go smaller and stretch the tire theres no need to trim that piece at all.

Dang wheels tucking nicely! Did you max out the fronts? If not, I think you should and leave the rear as is. You should be fine with little bumps and driving up parking lot with the fronts maxed out. Just get in and out almost to a crawl LOL. I love the contrast. What kind of rims are those if you don't mind me asking?

The rims are from incurve wheels and they are CS5, and they are powder coated with machine face.

I know I ripped a new one on my friend who works at the tire shop. It's not that bad but you can see it and my friend at the rims and tire shop recommended this dude. I have bad luck because the dude has rolled fenders for allot of people but he fucked up my car. We asked him how did he roll the fenders and he said it was a difficult roll so he used a rubber hammer and I guess a piece of wood. Then he painted the inside if the fenders with some black paint. I wanted to kill the guy because my car barely had 4k miles on it.
My boy has a white 12 TL and had his fenders rolled and they came out perfect, Carlos aka heartTL had his rolled at the same place where my boy with the white 12 and everything came out fine for them both. Rolling fenders is not that crazy of a mod to do but I recommend doing it where someone you know has had it done.
Thanks Matt, your car is pretty sick also.
