reason why people go stretch is to be able to run low offset and still be able to tuck the tires in, and of course have more clearance !! looks sick especially on v.i.p. cars. its the gangster way!! low offsets are the way to go!!!

check this thread out good info on stretched wheels on VW's

its a shame that some of these front wheel drive VW's run better offsets than some rear wheel drive owners

yea i kinda figured out your style!! you like the extreme RICE look!!! so at least we know you'll be in a class on your own, and no one will copy your style at least here in vegas

I love your aviator. My dad worked for Lockheed Martin in the Skunk Works division. He was an engine designer for them for over 34 years. He designed the engines for the SR-71 (Black Bird) and the F-117 (Nighthawk Stealth Fighter). He retired shortly after the first deployment into the Gulf War. We take several trips a year down to Edwards Air Force Base to visit friends still in the program. When I saw your aviator, it made me smile and reflect on a slower time in my life... Thanks

The SR-71 now retired, and the F-117 (soon to retire due to high cost of maintenance and newer technology ) were both great jets in their own respect. I work out of Edwards AFB as well, and work with a lot of guys from back in the day. I'm glad it brought back some good memories, because without pioneers like your father I probably wouldn't be here right now doing what I do. So tell him I said thanks.

BTW I have run into some folks that claimed they worked on the SR-71 they might have known your dad.

You play too much! I don't do rice, the Veilside is an extreme kit. Veilside won best award of the year for that kit. To me it was the most appealing kit that was out at the moment, nowdays there are so many more options unlike years ago.

I thought you were the one that wanted the kit more than anyone.. What other plans do you have for your car in the future? Or are you done modding it?

I didn't make any plans to attend SSXI this year, but next year for sure.. I know, a lot of people are going though! I think, more than 50% of your locals are going.. Plus, I got something planned for next year, so this year it won't be ready in time for SSXI.
