Yeah, apparently 1 can of clearcoat was not enough. So, right after the shoot I masked the front of my car and sprayed yet another can of acrylic clearcoat. It's really shiny now!

I went with 215/35/19 for the front and 235/35/19 for the rear.

I know! But my car will look like an SUV next to yours lol. I honestly don't know how you drive like that... I scrape my lip on regular dips in the road. You must be scraping 24/7.

Do you know any other sites that sell replica kits? Nextmod doesn't have much for the 09+ models. Great job btw!
