Huge thanks bro!

I tried to go for a style I call "Casual aggressiveness" aggressive, but not over done.

If you like this look, you'll love the new one I'm working on.

I disagree. I think the windows/sunroof open gives the impression that it's quietly breathing/panting after a good run

Really really nice pictures, love the car.

I LOVE the lip, I think it made the most dramatic change to the front end in conjunction with the hood... It tied it all in very nicely.

New eyelids, RB screens and KnightRider lights FTW! lulz!



I plan on doing a custom mesh grille and then mounting the light higher but even now its pretty badass rolling around looking like the batmobile K.I.T.T. edition hahaha.

Who else is tucking 10" wide wheels? Who else is tucking 10" wide wheels wrapped in 45 series Nitto NT-01s?

I'm guessing it was 2.5ish in the pictures. Dirty though lol.

Doesn't look like your tuckin either, you have a small gap all around.

Why are you bragging about having NT01's?

None of it was bragging. And the only reason its not completely tucking is because of how tall the setup is. It more than tucked my 19s with the 35 profile.

And I have gone through a lot of tires, Toyos, Falkens, M/Ts, Hoosiers and so far the NTs are my faves. Only tire I cared for more were the Advans BUT in defense it was on a EK which handles totally different than the 8.

BTW there is no gap? lol maybe you aren't looking at the pics of the car The only "gap" you see would be cause by the lighting due to the fact the tires are stretched. Look at the back remembering this is a nearly 26" tall setup (I'm guessing aroudn 25.7ish)

Looks like a gap to me: gap is gap, and I can see top of tire



A slammed car for comparison:

Bad lighting/ angle in the pix0rz mixed with stretched tires = teh gapz illushzuns. I'll getcha a better pixz0r tomorrowz.

You can look at the back and see "gap" but its obvious how far the tire is tucked if anyone understands the tire sizing. In relation, the front sits lower.

doesn't matter about tire size, you have to tuck tire to tuck tire, if I can see top of tire, its not slammed.

wheel is wider, stretch is more, sidewall is the same, car is slammed
