Very nice set up you have there. And WOW 10k for your paint and kit fitment. That is allot. Wee have painted a couple Mercedes AMG Mercedes 65. With House of kolor chameleon paints and it was right at 10k.
The paint shop took advantage of you that's my opinion. A more realistic price for your rex with that paint job 5500.00 is the ball park.
Great looking rex. Enjoy

for starters, make sure you use coilovers and not springs. If you strecth your tires youll be fine, thats basically what im oding for the front, the rears wont require a strecthed tire

I hope so! how much does the rim stick out from ur front fender or is it flush? Where is the front tire having problems or rubbing in the wheel well? Did u gut ur wheel wells? Are those the shineauto front fenders? How was the fitment?

I stick out about 10mm past the fender, and yes its completly gutted, it rubs on the inside, but its because the tires being to wide.
