Yeah its been a long time and you've done quite a few mods to your car as well.



Sure has been a long time. We'll have to hook-up again sometime and have lunch so I can check out the ride again.

Hey Bro...I remember us talking about this mod last year at the Carson meet...good job, the rims along with the roof are a nice "face lift" for your ride.

BTW...was that you leaving the donut trails in that parking lot in the pictures? LOL
Peace,

Mark Mac

well guys the only knock I have on my wheels now is that the rears are 20x8.5 +38...so they look kinda funny all inside the wheel well...

So I jumped on these H&R spacers when I saw them on the classifieds. A quick tid bit on these spacers...seems like these babies have been passed from Dex to Hameed to joel5150 to me. They are 25mm spacers and when I first put them on, I didn't think I would be able to ride on them cuz they pushed out the wheels to the fender edge. I thought I would have to pass them on to another CL member but I was determined to make it work.

Well after a lot of grinding, sanding and playing with putty, I've been riding on it and it doesn't rub. Grinding and sanding cuz you don' t really roll the rear fender you just chop it off. The putty was placed on the tires and the used to check if the fender would hit or miss the tire when loaded down. I'll post pics of the process once I get them from RMMGS4.

Here's a pic of the final outcome.

Hmm. For some reason, they don't seem to stick out as far as I remembered from the other night.
