Front bumper came out great Blain. Can't wait to see pics of it all cleaned up. Have you done your fender work yet?

Fender work is done but it's a squeeze. We'll see how bad the rubbing is going to be before I do anymore. My paint is taking a beating on the 1/4s

Looks great, even with a layer of dust on it. Love that color.

Glad you like it. Remember when we were going back and forth about H Techs a couple of years ago? Lots of changes since those days.

I haven't actually measured again, I'd say the rear is probably 24 on the spot and front is probably about 23.8

I'll measure again, I'm loving this front bumper ground clearance.

Oh I know, I wish I had someone back then to tell me not to waste time on springs and just do coils!

They are black, but they're brushed annodized so when the light hits them they look all kinds of other colours lol I've thought about it, for $100 it's really not that bad and I could sell it if not. I need to do my window trim and colour match my door handles.

Uploading some daytime shots right now.

I'm jealous...haha Your OEM undertray, if you are running one, isn't gonna last very long at that height.

It's hangin' in there, most of it is just tucked up and not actually bolted in. I think there are 2 bolts in it total.

I still haven't washed it, I'm scared to go to my car wash. The entrance is off a really busy 6 lane street lol

Ride looks sick on those updated shots Blain! Based on how the rear is sitting I bet you are gonna need a touch more negative camber (doesn't seem like you are running hardly any now) or a tiny bit more pull.

Marcus, camber is looking at about -3.5

I'm going to do the alignment next week when I'm back home form moving there girlfriend back from school so we'll see how that goes.

Thanks Chris, I was really worried that these wheels weren't going to have the same effect as my Weds did, but the step lips make up for it haha.
