Joe...you're a classic.

 

Told you Kev.

 

I kno

 

To spacers or not to spacers

 

Terrible fuckin pick, flip! I KNOW you can do better. Git yo' sorry ass back outside and take some bettah ass pics befoh I beat yo' sorry ass.

 

Can't even see dat gap.

And dat lighting.

And dat contrast.

 

iPhone pics... I'm taking my DSLR out tomorrow after work. I couldn't tell how the pic came out until I posted it. Oh well better ones to come tomorrow night.

 

Kevin, get fenders rolled...and most certainly some bolt on spacers. It can't hurt and it won't void warranty.

 

I miss justin

I went with the adaptive speedware for my TL. It's legit in quality.

 

 

I think I may do 15mm in the rear and 10 in the front. :/

Been looking at my fitment and since the cars getting boring I need to do stuff to make her fresh to my eyes again.

 

Or 20/15...

Maybe I should pickup a pair of wrx's 15mm adaptecs on the BM.

 

sure...don't go lower than 15...then you'll have to do the extended studs for a version 1.

DMV motorsports I got for the S2000 were nice and good quality. I wouldn't re-buy akata again. Mine cracked/bent..

 

Yea that's why I adjusted and went with 20/15 so I can do v2...

Too lazy for v1 lol

 

I did 15mm all around. It's about an inch out more.

 

So maybe his 4x15mm adaptecs for $150 is a good deal?

Are your wheels offset staggered for the rear difference?

 

Hmm hope I'm reading everything correctly. I don't think I'll need a fender roll with 15mm all around with my drop/wheels.

Think I'm gonna do it.

 

Throw my current 7mm/5mm on the wife's Civic?

Wonder if they'd fit. Haha

 

it was 175 for each pair.

175 x 2

They might cut you a break if you order 4 at once.

If you order from them, they are made for you. In other words, every single order is made. They want to make sure it's done correctly and inspected after they finish them. That was a huge plus for me, which is why I went with them. I've had them on my TL for 2 years and I'm ocd about these things. I inspect them every single time the wheels come off. Everything is solid.

 

I meant there is a set of (4) 15mm adaptec v2 in the black market right now for $150 shipped. So that IS a good deal.

 

I'm going 15 all around probably.

 

I talked to Justn yesterday. Well text. I asked him where the hell he been.

 

25MM = 1"
and for the ladies...5" = 9"


You'll be fine, Chad...the TL fenders are super robust...room for error unlike the S2000

 

Personally, I'm getting 45mm spacer up front and 10mm spacer in the back.

Asian Dr.Dre!!!

 

that was stupid.

 

no, that was actually smart!

 

you a messican?

 

Justn must get ALL THE LADIES with a mug like that.

 

que?

 

he really does.

 

I must be the only one who thinks he looks like Dre

I can't unsee it now.

 

^Yes.

Ladies != ladybois

 

Chad, are you feuding with him too? Can't we all just get along and be frendzzzz? :gheyhug:

 

I'm not aware I'm feuding with anyone at the moment...

J, if I sell your car, I expect favors.

 

we're still waiting for pics from your wife's photo shoot...

 

 

I give favors!

 

So am I....so am I.

Maybe I'll get her to recreate some of the hot St Lucia pics in Puerto Rico next week.
