Detailed her and put tints in recently as well as shaved the rear hatch wiper. Sorry about the clarity there from the blackberry camera phone.

My rear fenders were pulled with body work to get the shape I wanted. All credit goes to my body guy Makito for doing such a good job. Came out the way I wanted. Not an easy task, but he did it.

The front fenders are the Feed type fenders that we offer.

I should have more pics soon. The only pics I have of my car are from others who took them.

im running...

19x9.5 + 22 in the front 245/35/19 ........ 255/35's are better. fill up the fenders perfectly.

19x11 +23 280/30/19

I currently have dunlops in the front. Toyos are a better setup.

thanks ken! im running 19s too with 30 profile, but your car seems much lower, are you running springs or coilovers? You dont happen to know how much you dropped it by chance? I want mine to sit exactly like that, any rubbing? Either way the car looks AMAZING and is in my top 5 FDs.

Lol. Trying to get my mirrors ordered.

I have coilovers but i have idea what height they are set on. I don't hit in the front or rear. The rear is virtually free and safe with the flare.

Ken, was the rear flare just an extreme pull/bend of the original body work, or was it cut and created with a new piece all together?

No cutting. Just fender rolling with alot of bondo work on top. A simple fender roll won't get the height of the flare that high.
