Thanks. Alot of people say that, but its still a work in progress. I'm gonna try to get some of the back of the flare smoothed out, then shave a bit of the rear bumper so I can put in some spacers to fill in the gap.

Crappy paint pic/ rough idea of what I want to do:

Haha, im actually getting run the exact same set up on mine because I hadn't seen anyone else running it. Will be slightly different though as im in a black 8 and Ill be getting the chromium black ones. Hoping to go a bit lower too, but seeing your pics I may wanna run a fatter tire if I go any lower than you. Looks good though

Zinitiate's setup is pretty sick, and I'm sure it will all be sorted. Those Stance's should go lower though.

Here are some shots of aggressive-ish fitment cars from SevenStock 14 that I think you all will enjoy, via Night Import's Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/wlee_87
