Didn't feel like making a new thread so just updating this one.

Well I got a love tap on the rear bumper by a Tahoe in the McDonalds drive through(lady paying attention to kids rather than driving..). So her insurance paid for that along with tinting my taillights and then i paid out of pocket for a few other things while it was there, front bumper and roof. Also got the Limited Edition Volk GT Series center caps, all black with CF center. Expect more pics next week when my GReddy Spectrum Elite comes in

Robert

Looks good man. Are those the stock fogs flipped upside down in the cwest front? I was told that it had been tried and they wouldnt fit. You sell your old wheels? What are the specs on those Volk's?

Also I have the supra tt calipers and figs adaptors if you are in the market. Was looking at doing this set-up in the spring but I've been looking at a new direction. PM me for pics and price.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

It was OEM fogs flipped upside down but it looks like crap(was done by previous owner). The old wheels are long gone, sold them to a MY.IS member last year.

Wheel Specs:
18x8 +44 225/40/18
18x9 +50 255/40/18

Only had to do a very minor roll to clear the 255's

cricket056:
Actually TT fronts ARE something I plan to do, PM on the way.

Regards,
Robert
