This mod is being tested on my car as the prototype by a local firm called DZine, to sell to the public in the future.

Once people see this mod, there will probably be several who will be interested in buying it . If you happen to want one, I'll try to get you hooked up to be first in line, once they start selling it.

Oh, but you better PM me w/ your answer cuz I don't want everyone else to know right?

How's that?

I can't wait to see the finished project....

Wow - what a beautiful job... I don't know who your husband is - but I took my supra to 2 bodyshops to have the fenders done - and they didn't come out nearly as well as yours. I had the same issue with rubbing (285/18s in front, 315/17s in rear under stock bodywork... fortunately there's some height-adjustment with coilovers, too..)

cheers,
-Darryl

PS: OK - Day 62 better be wheels!!!

I'm just a bit slow on this secret mod. I was at the house and walked by it. I was even told that I walked by it. It just did not click. Disclaimer... The whole darn living room was piled high with interior, exterior and audio parts and I wouldn't know a secret mod if it bit me on the A$$.

Haha. LOL. I think it will be cleaned up soon and people in this thread will see the results.

I think it will stay clean for the holidays and then the next round of mods starts.
