So you speak from experience with the zip tie thing? Haha.

Awesome pics though.

I see what size wheel, but what size tire are you running?

Absolutely digging the white on white, too. White wheels ftw.

Edit: That is a nice place y'all found though. I can't wait to get some more stuff in myself and find some places like that.

Gotta go downtown though.. Ew.

Love the pics. Any plans to drop the front a little more so it looks more even with the back?

hahah thanks! tire size is 265/35 all around with minimal rubbing. minimal = no rubbing when like regular driving (haven't pushed it yet but planning on doing a cruise next wekend). only rubbing in the front at full lock

i may. i just dropped the car off at the body shop to get my kit situated. once i know how low the front is, i'll drop it accordingly. i may just play with the camber settings though. we'll see

niiicee, second to last pic is my favorite! love the pics. the last pic could use some fixing around the fog light area (i can fix it if you want!) but other than that, it looks badass!

cant wait to see how the kit looks on, its gonna be so low lol...good luck!
