Was bored yesterday so took a few more pics





If anyone is wondering about the hood gap, I had a little fender bender and I have to replace the hood. Main reason for not too many front end shots yet lol, but hopefully soon!

Fronts are 100% stock, a little rubbing but nothing unbearable or nothing removing the inner plastics and a mild roll wont fix. Rear quarters are shaved with a decent pull.

No vibration at all. Adapters were custom made with hub centrics to match the vehicle and the wheels. Rides smooth and straight!

I shaved them just about flat with a small saw that i had and then rolled them with a small pipe, about 2" thick.
