Decided to pick up a couple of things.
- Bride Brix II seats & rails
- Apex-i WS 80mm universal mufler
- Burns Stainless 3 inch resonator
- Work Emotion CR KAI WMB 18x8.5 +38 and 18x9.5 +37
- BF Goodrich G Force TA KDW 2 235/40/18 and 265/35/18
- Kics Project Rainbow NeoChro Lugnuts

I had to take the rims off of the car because the rear fenders need to be rolled or shaved. Any recommendations of where to go?

The exhaust is not on the car as of yet because i need to go somewhere to get the piping done. it should be done within a week or two.

The seats are not in the car either because i was sent the incorrect rails. I was sent the MK3 rails instead of the MK4 rails. So i have to wait until late August to get those.

I also have to change the ride height now. Raising the front a little and lowering the back a little.

And i also wanted to thank Derrick from D2 for helping me with the wheels.

are you sure the rear fenders need to be rolled / shaved? I ran a 9.5 with a much lower offset and just did a slight roll with no problems. I was lowered on Espelirs and had my camber just negative enough that the top of the 255 I ran out back was flush with the fender.

B E A UUUUU TIFUL! Your car looks great. That exhaust will add so much more bling from the rear.

Great choice on the tires, those are my favorite.

So that's what you been up to. I love those tires I'm running them in 19's. Be sure to bring the SC out to the next neloc meet. We might do one in PA again the roads there are excellent no cops and gas is cheap the sunoco there still had 94 octane

The rear tire is sitting right below the lip on the inside of the fender. Every time i hit a bump the tire hits it and makes this horrible noise. The lip on the inside of the fender also started rip away at the sidewall of the tire. I dont want to camber the tires in because i drive the car everyday a pretty long distance so i dont want to have to spend money on tires every month or two because of the camber wear. It's my fault though i should have gone with a smaller tire in the back.

Thanks, The color looks even better than what i thought it would look like. When i opened the box i was speechless. Well worth the 12 week wait for them.

I know i didnt relize how much stuff it was until i had all of the boxes sitting there at once.

A big brake kit is the next thing on my list. I'm still deciding on which kit to get.

Yeah i have kind of been hiding in the shadows, deciding what to do to the car, for the past couple of months. I usually go with the Yokohama AVS ES100 tires, but i decided to try something different, and had heard that everyone really liked these tires.


I will definently try to make it to the next neloc meet.
