These are little details that not everybody sees on their cars after they come out of the bodyshop. You might want to get that fixed.
Oh and by the way.... Hotdamn those turn lamps look like new I cant believe you only wetsand them with 600 and buffed em... And I was thinking about getting me brandnew ones XD lol.... But I have a doubt, did your turnlamps have that yellowish dirty old aged look? Because thats how mine looks like XD... Once again, your turnlamps look AMAZING, you know, giving that BRAND NEW look to your car

Man I should have sold you my S5 bumper last year. I'm so laaaaaazzy though...

I don't like white cars in general but white is definitely the best color for FCs'. It looks awesome.

Trust me i've already seen them and the lights have been fixed and ill fix the bumper when i get my FMIC, all i have to do is tighten the screws a different way. No biggie.


And yeah my turnlamps were yellowish looking... not anymore!

I don't believe you asked, but I was bored in the wee hours of the morning, so I figured help a sister out, ya dig?

If I had the disc brakes and calipers and what not then I would be able to make it look more realistic, but I had only a black background to work with.

ok guys i got a question!!!

Took one rim off of my boyfriend car today and put it on mine... couldnt get it on the right side so the rim is kinda backwards looking.. lol, but it's a 18x10.... all it needs is some tuckage, since two of his are ruined and two are good from those dumbasses stealing his car and wrecking it, i'm thinking about just buying the other two that i would need and running his motegi touge's. What do you guys think? Please excuse the camber.







The tire size is, 285/40/18.... do you guys think a smaller tire would go better?

in my opinion yes, smaller would look a little better, only cause right now, they look like they rub like crazy. and they look a little wide. but then again its your whip and your style. btw nice 3rd gen in the garage. pretty cool

racing beat is amazing. strait pipe racing beat + external wastegate = loud enough to notice when driving but not loud enough to get "unwanted attention" if you know what i mean. and with the ext. wastegate loudd as hell when you wana have some fun! but you and the car are looking great though congrats on the new paint!

obvioulsy the outside will rub, but the real question is how much clearence do you have on the inside of the tire by the trailing arm???? can you even spin it when the car is jacked up??? please take a picture of the trailing arm area

magnaflow mufflers sound better then rb imo

looks like you should rent a fender roller and roll the fenders. I didn't read all 5 pages so if it is already done forget about it.

Thumbs up

That looks really flush.

Are those 8"s wide? Or are you running anyspacers?

Good job.

Try a smaller width tire. I'm putting a 235/40/R17 on a 17x10 rim...lol.

Agreed.

What is the offset on those wheels? I don't think it's low enough to work on the inside if it's only just flush on the outside..Smaller tires will help for fender clearance but the rim could be a problem.
