18s w/ aggressive offsets and dumped would look very good. What wheels are you thinking??

JB Weld should fix the mounting point and stay strong for a while. Plus you can sand, grind it down if you need to paint the area. I used it to mount my headlight balasts. They are not going anywhere, haha.

I have seen some good looking miesters but heard they are very easy to bend, which would be not so good for track wheels.

Its like ladies who rock bags with fake LV printed on them, it looks tight from a far till one girl comes up and starts examining the stitching and leather and whatever else it has that makes it authentic lol

stance on the IS is perfect. But something about the front lip is just not right. The design makes it appear that its angled down/about to fall off.

Got my new spacers on... not as extreme as some of you guys but a lot more stretch than I was running

Thinking about lowering all 4 corners just a fuzz... or would you guys keep it where its at?

Looks good man, I'm still not sold on those wheels though, the way the spokes hit the edge and go flat... meh

Fitment is much nicer now though.

I agree with you on that as well. I may not like the design of the wheels but you can't deny that the fitment is good.

^ that's what's nice about fitment, even though we don't agree on wheel styles, we agree on something else.

He could hate my wheels, but he would have to give a nod for fitment haha.

fck so many problems I'm getting very frustrated, don't know how you guys deal with all this it's crazy, one thing after another. Can't pull my cut fenders and I desperately need at least a few mm's of clearance so a tiny pull at least. Front was rubbing so bad that it literally self pulled my ****in fenders, also cracked the paint a few inches long I had to put some vinyl tape to cover it, and so much positive caster +10, that I had to cut a chunk out of the fender piece where it connects to the front bumper, not to mention also cracked a chunk outta my fiberglass inven

and I'm looking at my lips right now and notice tiny little chips, I suppose now that the lip is exposed like that that part of it is prone to rocks hitting and chipping paint off... on one side of the car I have vinyl tape covering the lip at the part where the rocks are hitting so hopefully the vinyl tape will offer enough protection against chips...

I currently have my rear shocks setup super stiff just so I can drive at the height im at right now without rubbing, still wanna tuck some tire go lower. Somehow I fluked out and found the right combination of spring and strut height to where there is almost no suspension travel in the rear, for now it's working ok I don't rub but it's crazy to drive, smallest bump feels like the rear flies up in the air


first pic if you look closely you can see how long a piece of vinyl tape I had to use to cover the paint crack
