looks good mark. but maybe you either need smaller sidewall tires up front or have you cut the hole up top so the control arm bolt can come through. the front is sitting awfully high. my car on coils is still lower than yours up front. these pics are a lot better than the old ones. can't wait to see it come together.

Still haven't had a chance to take one of the rings off of the coilover in the front Vlad says that will fix the height issue in the front. Gonna do it as soon as it is out of paint.

Got any rear shots of the fender mods. Hard to see it from the side with primer looks good.

so youre running the bag and the coil? Sounds height restricting.

It looks great but if you want the VIP look, I think you may have to got a bit more aggressive with the wheels.

Thanks.. Yeah I will likely go with a thinner tire up front in the future.

This is probably the best pic I have looking down the side of the car.
