Oh okay, now that's clear. But yeah there is nothing wrong with the fenders. The front bumper is just really smashed up from being dragged around. The edges where it meets the fenders are the worst because every time I bottom out, thats where all the pressure goes. It looks even better in the pictures to be honest with you. Its really really cracked in person. When I'm back from Asia a new front will be my priority.

Where the rear bumper meet the fender doesn't look right, it doesn't flow.

I guess the SARX crew and I will see you in Oct

Are you going with an authentic bumper next? You better order soon since you didn't want to wait for a Mintblue one back then and Wekfest TX will happen sooner than you think

I'm probably gonna get a bumper from Shine. I've heard good things.

I don't see it. If you look at my build threar you can see how much it all had to be modified so it did flow. We purposefully made it so it kept the body line after the massive pull. I'm not going to go into detail, just checkout the thread.

Furthermore Plastidip looks like *** when done on large panels, it's the new ricer craze around here. There is a body shop that will dip your entire car for 500 dollars, they do really good prep work. Their paint jobs are amazing, but when spraying liquid diarrhea all over the place it's impossible to make it look good.
Thats weird because my old svt looked amazing. You just have to do it correctly. If the person that is spraying it doesnt know what they are doing, like most ricers it will turn out like crap. If you have the skills and take your time it turns out great just like anything else.

It's all a matter of preference, to me it doesn't matter how well you do it, still looks cheap and ricey to me.
There was a time I thought it might be cool but the more I see it the more I hate it.
That's cool if you like it that's your choice. I have seen enough to know I don't, plastidip has a certain look to it that I don't dig.

I lowered my rx8 and inch and a half and was wandering what offset i could use on a set of 18 x 8.5 in the front and 18 x 9.5 in the rear? i don't want to roll the fenders or do any body work, i just want to know the best offset to go to allow me to do this/look the best.
