Update: install went well, took about 2 hours. I think i need to tighten down the perches cause i get movement. Still have to swap the rear tires tomorrow and roll the fenders and drop the car some more. Sorry for the shoddy pics, I'll try to get my buddy with an SLR to come by tomorrow. Enjoy!

You've got to do something about the center caps.

Lowered all the way in the rear without compromising stroke and lowered the front a bit. Rolled all 4 corners but I'd like to pull them when I get access to a fender rolling tool.

i need to finish my work on my extra 626 lip i'm extending the width and length of the 626 lip so it fits out to the edges of the wheel wells and doesn't have a split in the center then i'll make a mold and send it to shineauto so he can make it since i dont have the production facilitys

Thanks! I have rolled the fenders with a bat, but I'm not comfortable using that to pull them out.

Unfortunately I'd have to cut my S4 bumper too much probably to get the FMIC to fit. It fits nicely with the S5 bumper.
