Got these new sensors from ebay.


My SPC Ball joint to help with positive camber for the front.


Megan upper camber arms. I think i might need it for negative camber in-order for the wheels to fit


Fed-Ex guy made a few deliveries today.


Its all about the lips...



It might be about a week or two before I get the car right with fender work, tires, alignment etc.

Judging by those tire sizes, you must be joining the super aggressive offset-tire stretched gang thats taking over around here.

Love the vip wheels.

Can't wait to see

Your mats have found a new home along with my car several months back. Lucky member that is not as active as I was may not know how rate the mats are in his car I was crazy and opened them. They looked so nice I had to sell all my mats from OEM to F-Sport and put them to use

Looks like a really nice setup to an already nice car. You should get some daily run around wheels to save those wheels from daily driving on ATL streets!!

My other lip pieces were painted and installed and a couple months later I had CarbonGS install my Carson Tuned mirror covers which been in the garage almost two years. Cool, now I have the full Carson Tuned lip kit plus my Carson Tuned mirror covers finally installed.
I was the person you sold the lip kit to, man you were one of the coolest guys to deal with, everything went smoothly, and after the front lip was installed, i felt like the car was complete

If you ever need anything, lemme know buddy
