D-MAN63,
What kind if widow visors do you have? They don't seem to stick out as much as some that I have seen. Looks really clean

Last pic of the +33 offset in the rear.. For some reason it looks more pronounced in real life but to give you an idea, the rear wheel is sticking out like 3"-4" from the rear fender..
dude ...

GILLEXUS, thanks man, its the toyota visors, you can get them from Steve.. Get the CF pillars along with the visors, it looks great together.

TLW, damn johnny why are we friends?? .. I'll see u early next week.. Your BLUE beast is gleaming in those pics !

Rominl, after all those PM's I finally got around to shaving my fenders.. Thanks for the help! No rubbing unless I go in a big dip then it rubs.. other than that its okay.. plus we are used to driving lowered cars so we know the little 'tricks' of driving ..

D-MAN,

Your ride is lookin better than ever

How much of a hassle is it to install the longer studs for the spacers? All the shops i asked tell me it would be a major PITA thats why i been hesitant to do it.

+33 in the back looks spiffy. Doesn't look like it sticks out at all in your pictures. Nothing like a nicely stanced GS. The fact that you are silver too earns you major brownie points with me.

ddarbs, hey dave thanks man ! I know you have a little something planned on your car.. What better way than to reveal it at FBF ! Always fun to hang out with ya ! See u soon my friend !

RNM, bro how u been? Replacement of the studs is not hard but a little time consuming.. Mostly with disassembling the brake and banging out the old rust studs (for me that is).. You have a brand new car so it will be easier.. Let me know if you want a good spot.. Which spacers are u planning to go with?

jon, hey man thanks for answering all my PM's about offset ?.. Not many people where I am, actually come to think of it, I don't know anyone who experiments with more aggressive offsets around here..

D-MAN:

Engine Bay looks AWESOME!!!!

I have been thinking of the carbon fiber pieces myself.

Any difficulty in getting the carbon fiber engine cover to fit?

When you and Johnny (TLW) decide to mod your cars, you bous only go one way, 1st Class - me like this very much!!!

Peace,

Ted
