I love that silver car with the NT03's. Oh and quit quoting pics, it's annoying.

just thought I'd post this so people can know how tall of tire they're working with!

Also I think I made a turd/booboo got 18x9.75 spares and 235/40/18 tires and my car is pretty low (planning on going lower about a 1/4 in.) will post pics of wheel and tire in the morning kinda late.

Here are a few cell phone shots from the drive down the coast yesterday. I'll wait before posting up higher quality photos for now. The center diffuser portion on the bumper is actually carbon, so a little different from all of the others out there





And here's a shot from Canibeat's instagram:

It's low, but I think the 19's + aero make it seem even lower. I enjoyed a spirited drive down a coastal twisty road the following day (PCH from Golden Gate to Pismo for you locals) with no real issues (aside from getting stuck behind cars).

Thanks for the kind words guys

Munchy - There were plenty of cars equally low; the bagged cars were all lower, haha.

Derek - Haha, they came in 2 days after Sevenstock. I actually ordered them before then, they just took forever to ship :/

Darkness - Haha, thanks! I can think of a good number of privately owned US rx8's that I think are cooler than mine but I appreciate the compliment

I will be making a trip from Idaho (NW) to Virginia in May! Look for me..taped up VR. Not sure on a design I wanna do though. When I plan a route, I will make a thread so that I can make stops and take pics and share. Do want to hit "The Tail" though on the way.
