Are you placing the bumper in on these pics or is the car really just that low...reason i asked is because the bumper to fender lineup looks like the bumper was put there for the shots. but anyway those welds are seamless, got yourself a good fabricator

And a shot front this past weekend's shoot.

Battle Cat I was ogling your welders instagram photos the other day. His description of the work he did on your turbo is intensive!
Obligatory photo of car in progress.

Sorry it took me a little while to respond. Im running Fikse Profil 13 Wheel size is 17"/8.5" and 38mm offset up front 17"/9.5" 38mm rear. Tires are Nitto NT555 255/40/17 and 285/40/17. If you want to go really low you may have to roll the rear a bit or run a 275 Otherwise its pretty flush. I have mine rolled to go a bit lower yet.

Thanks, I appreciate it. And the set up is pretty modest fitment wise he cars just pretty low at the time but its 18x8.5 +20 all around with a 5mm up front and tires are 235/40/18 and 255/35/18. Front deff still has about another 10mm if you were really looking to make it really flush but the rear is just about right but could probably use a 5mm or so. And I'm on unknown camber whatever it is I got from the drop.

As per rules.

front bumper
Drops42 I had a small question, I know the front bumper is a 99 spec, but did you put some rods in to open up a little more the main opening (the middle one) of the bumper?

thanks
