Have you had a chance to tell if you have any clearance problems?
The front have absolutely no issues whatsoever as far as I can tell. The rear fenders have been shaved so they do not rub on the metal, but they have rubbed on the black plastic that is close to where the fender meets the rear bumper. I haven't gotten it to do it myself, but my father and my brother mentioned to me that they had it happen when the tires were first installed, aswell as when driving the car up to meet me.

Some pics from today. First ones are from an indoor parking lot (recently got the B-pillar appliqués from rx8strakes). Next couple ones are from Weehawken, NJ which has a great view of the Big Apple. Wish I had a DSLR cam so these would be better. Hope you guys like em.




















went for some go karting afterwards

Great day today in NY. Quickie wax.

Since last pictures I've added the OEM spoiler and 20% tint. The only appearance mod I'm looking towards is the rotary accents.

Eh, I do it because the blur tool was right there and i was resizing anyways.

I suppose a ring of thieves might see your car, recognize the license plate, and realize you have a bunch of easily steal-able mods under the hood/ in the trunk. I guess thats stretching it though.
