One of the guys at elite installing the Icebox, Its not that hard to install but not having a garage or a lift makes it a little more challenging.

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.

Why did you have Ish cut the clip? I told him to just trim the edge of mine but keep the clip intact. Once you start removing clips that hold panels together they will start seperating and look like an old American car's fit and finish.

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.

Wow Marlin you're a brave man driving that low in the NYC but have to admit it looks very very nice, I like it specially the concave rear wheels, what type of tint did you installed? So what's next, BBK perhaps

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?

lol, I try to be careful and it helps that I'm a slow driver. Tints are 40% all around by sola guard and the BBK is very tempting.

thanks team, the front are maxed out and I raised the rear just a little bit after I took those pics so its a little more even now. I would like to lower more in the front but in NYC it's kinda crazy going that low, if I lower the front I would have to change all 4 tires and the front spring would have to be changed.
The rims are from incurve wheels and they are CS5, and they are powder coated with machine face.

It all comes down to who does it for you. The second place he went to and I initially went to does amazing work and rolled both or fenders perfectly.

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.
