Well while you guys wait for the other guy, here is a teaser shot of IZZYRX8 (lowered with rest stockies)..... still need an alignment though.. 
and possibly shave the bumper tab/liner/pull/roll a lil bit more depending on how the alignment goes 
, Second pic is of the necessary camber, pay to play....right.

I love the wheels! Looking forward to seeing them in person. Compared to last year, there are a good number of aggressive fitted rx8's on legit wheels attending SevenStock!
Zumn, the fender got flared out a bit. It's easy to happen if the roller angle isn't adjusted, though some people prefer a flare to a pull. I know one of my fenders got flared out but at the time, my friends and I were serious n00bs
Based on these pictures, I foresee some serious rubbing in both of your near futures, until a number of things are fixed =X

^ understood Tilt but **** looks painful! Those Wedsports in that finish are one of my favorites no doubt. I 1emeber when they first came out I was on them like White on Rice.
So Tilt, when you gonna put those BBS up on the WheelFlip.com site for sale/trade....I still have my dubs

With a few extra fender work sessions, once I was more experienced, I was able to smooth out my fenders a decent amount. Admittedly, the original job was whack and they still aren't perfection, but that's what professional body work is for
The LM's are going to one of my coworkers <3

Lol, there's too much planned than to spill the beans here! To keep things short, ~5 weeks ago I ordered 19" 3 piece wheels that are a different style than anything else I've done. They'll soon be landing and built to my specs. I will say that 11" just isn't wide enough anymore
Otherwise, for 2012 my car will finally see "normal" fenders and new aero.
My name on WheelFlip's "to do" board? o.O

So much chatting, so little pictures lol. I know this is a cross-post with this thread but in case some of you guys missed it, here are a few shots:

albert is actually really good at doing fenders. he's one of the two 'go to' guys in socal to do em. i think Zinitiate may have asked for a flare. he rolled my fenders fine O.O
