With 275 and my car 25.25 inches fender to ground I only rub when I pull out of my driveway cause there is a little dip between driveway/road. Or when I am really pushing my car hard through our local touge course and hit a small bump midcorner.

Its just fender liner...

hahaha...I know. But I do not want to rip through because behind the liner is a straight piece of metal that I do not want the tire rubbing on. Especially when I heavy into a corner.

BTW I finally figured out what I'm going to do with my CF lip. Going to patch the CF and then have it cleared with some black paint added in. It will darken up the lip but up close you will see the CF peaking through. Best of both worlds for me

Hope it turns out like I want From a distance it looks black but up close you will see the CF peaking through. Going to buy some CF soon. I might wait until Sept to get it cleared though.

No idea on the sizes yet because it has not been released.

Dude check out the SA-55M in matte grey. They would look bad *** on your SS and yes they are available now

They are black with blue highlights. Here is an up close shot of the blue of the SA-55. The SA-60 in black/blue is on the previous page.

I believe they are going to be in the $600 per wheel range. I will see if I can find the price list and post it. Hopefully Rishie can provide a discount

We ever going to do that install day? I came oh so close to buying that top mount kit I PM'd you about. Good thing someone stepped in and bought it so I have money to get some Weds

there'll be an install weekend in early july most likely but my little mods are done now. haha. you took too long. i did the sways/end links, fuel pump, stainless brake/clutch lines, etc.

but if you have some parts to install i'm down to meet up.
