small addition, big difference

yeah it's a brand new 09, and no it's not a demo. apparently someone ordered the car with f-sport wheels and f-sport exhaust. the exhaust is listed on the sticker, but the wheels aren't. dealer wasn't sure why either, but since the wheels aren't listed, they didn't charge us.

thanks all! i have the ichiba version 2, 15mm front, 20mm rear. below are some before (pics 1,2) and after (pics 3,4) shots. The difference is clear.
i've been debating for a while how flush i want it. From my research on CL, it seems 15mm front is nice and flush for my wheel specs, and i was debating between 20 and 25 in the rear. my requirement is not have to do any fender mods. in the end i chose 20, just so it's decently close to the front as i have an AWD (not really sure if that matters much, but just wanted to be a little safer).
as the pics show, the rims are quite flush against the fender, but that means the top part of the tire sidewall isn't. i guess the rear could handle a tad more, but i think it looks good right now. Since i have a modest drop (f-sport) and 18" wheels, going too aggressive might draw too much attention to the 'shortcomings' IF i were on H&R or coilover with 19" on a RWD, i might have been a little bolder, at least for the rear.
