Looks good Zumn. If you are high enough to go over speedbumps, you are too high though



Pic of the old setup. I sort of want to clean up the grill area. Need to do something with the ECU air duct and maybe go with the RB intake + duct, hmmm.

And one not-so-stellar out of focus shot of the current setup. Mud guards off as my aero is undergoing a bit of updating.

7Stock will be epic.

I will probably have 50% of the things I talked about at this last year's 7Stock complete, haha.

19x11.5 ET28 w/ 275/30/19 all around

Weds Kranze Bazreias

In between aero but still wanted to showcase the wheels for now. Different than other stuff I've run, and likely a bit less popular, but I'm stoked to switch it up nonetheless





Check out the wheelflip link in my signature if you're interested in building some custom wheels

9k, thanks for the kind words. Fabulous with fogs will soon be en route. May or may not get the car sprayed a dark dark burgundy but unsure.

J - No issues at all, no rubbing no doubt. The rear wheels technically *touch* on the inside when going into steep driveways, but that's all. I'm actualy going to jump to 285/30/19's for my next set and don't foresee problems with the right tire model.

Haha, my car has no name!

I am just super excited to do something a little different, that I haven't really heard anyone wanting to do with the 8. Still keeping it realistic though and not going too extreme in the VIP styled direction (i.e. ridiculously stretched tires, undriveable, etc.).
