wagh. i swear my s-techs were from a bad batch. my car isnt even close to being that low in the front
. how much finger gap do you have there? oh yea, and you need some tire shine

Long story short-I ordered two rear tires b/c they were getting bald and causing major road noise. The tires did not come in on time so therefore I had two rear flat tires. Needless to say my rear Kuhmos were close to being free
. So after that I knew that the wheels were creating too much wear on the tread in the rear so the only thing to do was to put a camber kit on them. I am ordering front ones as well, but the rear ones were essential after that incident.
As far as the overlays-it is a spray tint that my local G35shop put on. It sprays on the outside like spray paint, but doesnt look cheap! no bubble or anything - its just like painting model cars - the more you do it the better you get. I can get close up pics later. I think its "VHT" brand or something I will look today on my usual lunch break stop at his shop. He just tapes around the headlights covering any part of the car that you dont want to get accidently sprayed and then use electrical tape (b/c is very flexible around the curves in our headlights) to tape around the part of each head light you dont want covered and then just spray it on! I got a deal on the price so I dont know exactly how much it costs, but I know the cans are relatively cheap.
Haha. Tire shine is always a must
I will post pics later with some tireshine. The finger gap is maybe two to three finger widths in the fronts (my fingers at least
) and I am not sure on the rear ones.

One thing I forgot to mention - the overlays are NOT permanent. It does come off with laquer thinner and a pressure washer, but why anyone would want to pressure wash their baby is beyond me
Just to let you all know for anyone that might be like me and get very discouraged when I hear permanent

Neither the Kinetix camber arm kit or the SPC camber arm kit require that you elongate any holes. Now, if you buy the SPC elongated toe cam bolts or the Eibach toe kit, you DO have to elongate the holes the bolts reside in. Same thing goes if you retain the oem camber arms and just buy SPC elongated bolts to get more camber control out of the oem arms.
Keep in mind then when you start correcting more camber then the oem system can do, you then go past the oem toe control system's ability to dish out enough toe control.
On the subject of doing the work of making the holes bigger. When you do need to do more toe control then the oem system allow's for, the SPC toe cam bolts are the only way to go since this is the only way to adjust toe from the proper oem location. So called traction rod's or toe arms are actually adjustable radius rods and should not be used to alter toe.
