okay so this is what i have been working on. the stance is far from done but all i need now are some front UCAs to lay the front wheels down and that should finish the front fitment. i will be aiming to match up the fender and the rim lip. please keep in mind stance is a work in progress. :biggthumpup:

current specs are:
18x10.5 et+10
manufacturer lower camber settings at zero
current camber off of the alignment machine -7.52 at the front!

I think your stance peaked in the first half of this thread. The new paint looks good tho.

What size are your front tires? Looks like they're too wide

from my blog..

"although i LOVE doing things to the GS i must admit that i feel relieved that it will almost be SATISFACTORY enough for this season! SCARFACE has definitely come a long way in very short period of time. actually way faster than i would like to admit. but soon enough i will just be able to sit back and enjoy all the effort that has been put into this build.
here’s a list of the few minor details still remaining before i can JUST chill and cruise!!
-Junction Produce Billet Grill (thank you Fizz Chicago)
-REpaint the hood (after the ****ed it up the day after i got it back from paint) and install color matched window visors (thank you PLATINUM VIP)
-Tinted headlights (thank you Lux VIP)
and i am probably forgetting something but its probably not important =/
i also want to thank all people who supported the build along the way! you know who you are!!! THANK YOU!"

Hell yes! Cuban, any news if the rca's are going to be for sale or are these one-offs? I bought a set of night pager's to build my own rca's and I have been designing pretty much what your new rca's have accomplished: I am like 800 in R&D at this point for custom RCA's, so I rather desist if the STUDIO 1.5 INCH/ 35MM CAMBER RCAS are going to be for sale for 1stgen GS3.... at least I know more about machining and 3d modeling than before...
