just think.....those lips have overspray and not much shine to them at all. i think its gonna look awesome once its finally all said and done.

i'm running 17x7 +37 offset at the moment with 215/45zr17's with the 3mm spacers. next year i'll be picking up spacers to run a +30-35 offset and i think it'll definetly sit right. needs an alignment but i've got worn out inner tie rods so i dont know how well it will align.

once i roll the fenders and throw a tad more neg camber at it....i think i can go about 1/4 inch lower :)

so center caps for the wheels are roughly 150 for a set of 4. thats more then i paid for the rims.

also picked up a set of rear mudguards and slapped them on....still gotta take some decent shots but it really finished the look for me i'm so happy with the final body mod.

so if i want to stay at the current ride height i'll have to invest in some stiffer eibachs. i've still got a light rub occasionally from whats left of the fender lips front and rear. but i've realized the rub i'm hearing is actually the tops of the tires rubbing on the fender liners in the front and the wheel arches in the rear.

picked up a set of polished tow hooks to compliment the flat black and give it a bit more pop.
yanked the front bumper off today and was happy to see very minimal rust underneath. going to fill the old plate bolt holes and cut out the lower grille to give it a more open look. will install mesh in it at some point. and possibly a nice set of projector fogs once i find the ones i want.

will post pics once i have "after" shots.

also scored a new 4ch amp. blaupunkt pca 465. have to decide whether i want to spend money on a new head unit now or later. if i do it now. seats will have to wait :(

so my only real problem rust is on the drivers side quarter and although theres definetly rust i'm happy the panel is still strong just really heavy surface rust.
