OH...MY...GOD......teaser pic of my new wheels
#51
wheels look dope,nice choice...and yes, car is bagged now and it's not NEARLY as bad as everyone on here makes it out to be. I don't race it, track it, autocross it, and I can still play in the twisties all day long, then park it slammed whenever I want for the shows etc. I did come real close to pitching the car altogether after the last motor incident (I posted pics in the negative dealers section) but the car is paid off in December and now has some sponsors and industry attention etc. so it seemed kinda' silly to give up like that. I'll have more pics once it's done, or swing by the shop if you like

good to hear! i'm really hoping i can get into a shop this week. they're fine at low speeds, but my left rear rubs over any bump, and at highway speeds it's not good!!

Looks nice for sure. I can see the marks on your tires where it rubs. Problem I found going that was even after rolling the rear fenders it still touches the spot where the bumper meets the fender. This part can not be rolled. Just have to live with it.

FINALLY got my fenders rolled! I drove to work today in the rain, but was still able to corner faster than i have been, and less worried about bumps on the highway. like ross dawg, atill and other said, i could still benefit from a pull/flare, and i think that would look sweet, but at least for now i'm about 90% better w/ just a roll.
i can finally drive my car again like a sports car! i was getting pretty f-ing antsy!!
oh - cost $40 per fender fyi.
