Are you still the only person to get a set of these fenders from Shine? Would love to get your input on them and see some more pictures. Really want a set!

Oh, and while I like the new shoes, there was something about those meaty *** tires on your last set that made me love it. I'll miss seeing them!

I think Ken was telling me that he had sold a few sets last year already. I had to get a replacement for the driver's side because the original one wasn't as wide as the passenger side. The new one he sent me looks like it was made a bit differently and it looks like it MIGHT be a bit wider than the original passenger side now but it's not really enough to cry about. AND it could just be a difference in camber settings too. Overall I really like these fenders. I've had doubts about them and sometimes I'd still like to get some Sanai fenders but these are great. Well made and sturdy. I'll take more pics as I finish up the fitment issues and after I get them painted and get some good pics taken.

Those tires were WAY too tall, about a full inch taller than these, so it threw off the gearing and speedo, and made it feel a bit sluggish. No worries though, my roommate (Et3rNaL a.k.a. Simon) is putting them on his FD so you'll still get to see them haha.


I just finished lowering the car some more. Maxxed out the rear struts as low as they could go, but I think they'll have to come back up just a tad. The fronts are pretty well good to go though. I'm going to take it out for a spin so it settles and see where it stands. Also, the lowest part of my diffuser is only about an inch and a half off the ground haha, so I may have to get the RE-A Street diffuser anyway, and I know Simon would love that because he has first dibs on this diffuser too haha. I love not having to pay for shipping. The last pic is of the rear part of the sideskirt and how close it is to the ground.

One of the cleanest engine bays I've ever seen. I really wish mine was this nice haha.

I borrowed some 8mm spacers from ian1.1 and discovered that I'm going to get NO LESS than 8mm spacers. 8mm would be perfect because it would give me the option of going with a little less camber and still not rub, but if I have to go with 10mm spacers I will.

Exclamation

Let's reduce the chit-chat. Under the Do Not's in the thread rules:

Chit-chat about future mods, wheel fitment, where to buy such-and-such wing/sideskirt etc. The PM system works very well for all of the aforementioned.
