LOL. We were driving fast and filming, but obviously the Highway Patrol officer thought we were racin'. They let us off easy with a no front license plate fixing ticket. Phewww! That was a close one.

What rates did you change to and how much are the swift? I was just going to swap for the FC springs which are 8kg/6kg.

Car looks beautiful, very clean and stylish and blends like OEM. Why did you go with 19's? Looks I would suppose but isn't it a harsher ride?

Car looks great. I'm thinking about going the same route with the Feed style fronts and pulled rear.

How much would you say he pulled the rears? 15mms?

And you mentioned trimmed Feed style front fenders. Did you reduce how much wider they make the front?

And could you make the Feed front fenders in CF?

The rears are definately pulled more then 15mm I would say 25-30mm in my opinion. I just put on the Feed Front Fenders and also pulled out my rear quite a bit but the front is still wider.

Im not sure yet. I have ganador mirrors , but im a bit hesitant to put them on at the moment since I will have to drill holes.

Im looking for a set of particular GT mirrors I would like to try first.

The rolled fenders I would save give about 20mm wider clearance. Heck, Im fitting 11 inch wide wheels. What more do you need?

Ken I know I sent you a PM but do you have the wheel & tire specs on your new wheels?

The front looks like you pushed it out more than the old VS-XX set.



Best!

Before I put my rear overfenders on I tried on one side to get a flare like yours. I got pretty close by starting with a fender roller, some pulling, a bit of baseball bat (ghetto but efficient), then some more roller to smooth it out.

Came out really well, took me id say about 4 hours, mostly because I started by trying not to crack the paint with a heat gun. Then once I got into it I realized with this kind of pulling there was no avoiding some cracking.

Id say I could have fit my front rims (18x10 -7) no problem in the rear with the flare I created.

Your rims do not appear to fit sir - Perhaps they would be better suited to an SUV?

Love your car Ken, think I'm one of the few that preferred it SSM though!

Thank you for the reply.

Another question....

Do you think you would be able to make 18x11 & 285/30 fit in the front with FEED fenders?
