Hey sorry I havent updated much. Just got the spacers 2 days ago. I heard that with the setup usually 10mm is flush but with my 12 mm it's still not where I want it to be. I guess I underestimated the pull I did. Considering selling it or putting it up front and buying a 15-20 mm for the rear. I just washed it today but to dark out now so pics will have to wait till Tom. I ordered some 35w 6k hids from ddm as well. Waiting for them to arrive sometime. It's been snowing alot here lately and really making me consider selling/trading it in for a used range rover.

I woke up this morning to see that it was snowing outside and figured it would be a great chance for a small photo op. Ive had the 12mm spacers on now for awhile and considering putting them up front perhaps and getting 15-20mm for the rear as my pull pushed the fenders out more then I anticipated. Also I am shooting new diff styles and these are more cinematic looks. Not quite happy with the results but Im working on it more. Another mod I received is 35w 6k HIDs from DDM as well and one bulb was blown so I am getting a replacement and Ill take better pics when they are put in.

I use a Canon rebel Xti 400d. Just bought a canon 50mm 1.8 lens really gives a great dof.
