I successfully received diminished value from a hit & run accident I had.

This is the company I hired.

MAN I'm rubbing bad.. Thinking about removing the fender liners (front) and flattening the quarterpanels where my rear bumper connects (rear).. that's where I'm rubbing.. That noise has GOT to go.. Rides nice though.. it's just the dang bumps that get me.
Looking real good.
MORE PICS!

Looks good John, Hope you are learning as you go. Once people see how much work it takes to get the end result, they are so much more appreciative. Hopefully its on the road soon

One legendary IP gone stock (waijai), new legendary IP in the making.

I can't wait to see it finished bro.. The trunk looks terrific..



Went to Kustomz Unlimited and got my rubbing issues resolved.. Got my rear fenders rolled flat (3/8" more) and broke out the saw and rubber mallet a bit. Had to lift my front end .25" because when my springs settled in the front, the fenders were sitting on my tires.. Was pulling my fenders when I turned the steering wheel.. NO GOOD!!! Will definitely get stretched tires next time... Now getting ready for the alignment process..

Lemme guess, the saw was for that part where the bumper meets the rear fender?

I knew you would have to raise it when you posted you needed a block of wood just to get in your garage.

I bet it looks even more baller now.. cant wait to check it out in person, I know pics dont do justice

and the steering wheel thing? where you playing race car? LOL..

^bwahahahahahah... nah man.. I was just trying to make a freaking turn, but the fenders were sitting on top of the tires, so whenever the steering wheel turned, the front of the car would actually LIFT and it'd bow my fenders.. LOL!!!

Yeah the saw was for that, as well as in the front so that the fender liners would fit flush again.. I got to save my fender liners. (for now... bwahahahahahaha)

Yeah man.. It's looking RIGHT now.. Still no tread showing, but it's now functional and more importantly NO RUBBING (unless I roll through an UNGODLY dip, which isn't that often)


Got my alignment done yesterday.. (Firestone on 544, Drivein ramp.. Thanks Waijai)

new settings:
LF - Camber: -2.5 Toe: 0.06 Caster: 8.8
LR - Camber: -3.0 Toe: 0.07

RF - Camber: -2.1 Toe: 0.06 Caster: 8.9
RR - Camber: -3.1 Toe: 0.06

No Camber kit... no room.. bwahahahahahaha!!!

I don't really want to keep the stripes... but I'm pretty sure there would be a huge scratch down the side of my car :/ and I didn't know i could take those off without there being any holes??
