Offsets are +35 +40
I lied before that wasn't my last question. Did you need the fenders rolled or was that more precautionary? I'm running stock rear and swift springs on the front. Similar look to yours.

Absolutely need to roll flat with this offset and tire size in the rear. I'll still rub on a little on large dips in the road, but 99% of the time it's just fine.

My fantastic painter spent the weekend prepping the wald rep spoiler to remove all of the texture and perfectly match my paint...

Unfortunately the spoiler wasn't anywhere near flat, so the corners kept lifting after we taped them. I guess that is what you get for $70.






We're going to try to use some small self tapping screws to pull the corners back down. Fingers crossed!

We secured the edges of the spoiler with a small self tapping screw in each side... worked like a charm.

I have no regrets. The car sounds awesome and the power is noticeable. I was concerned about the exhaust smell, but it is not bad. Occasionally you will have some exhaust smell in the car, but not often. Usually just in stop and go type driving.

I'm going to have to buy more for my next garage... it won't be the same working on a car without them.
