LOL! Patience. Front fenders are rolled. Tires are still hitting the inner cover though, even after raising to the current 1 finger setting. Rears are shaved. I want to shave a little more and will contemplate lowering a little more.


If I can do it, you can do it. heheh. Perhaps you need to go see my guy who did my custom fenders.
Heres the link regarding the fender shaving for reference. Click here

Hey Bryan, thanks for the comments. My fenders are already customized. The rear should be OK. The fronts has more to do with the inner cover/lining than the fender trim. Plus, it is MUCH easier going on turns, driveways, parking lots ... at this front height.


silver4pt3, phunkyGS, LsportGS4,
Thanks. You mod for yourself but peer acceptance never hurts.

Ahh, Ted. I'm just not a bling kind of guy. Chrome was actually one of the reasons (I had a few others) that I did not buy Jimmy's 540s. I almost broke down but I did not want any regrets at that price. Even D2 has gone polished instead of full chrome and he likes chrome (or at least used to).

And BTW, Neo. Not sure I mentioned it here on CL since I saw your rims well before EOS V3 and your online unvieling, but your rims and car look absolutely marvelous. You have made a lot of good selections and the combination is very classy.
