Exactly. I just want it to be level with the rest of the side skirt. Maybe a slight dip would be alright. But right now, it just looks a little "aftermarket" to me which is not the look I was going for at all.
Just being picky as I'm sure most would gloss over this when looking at the car for the first time.
Ernst - have you installed your kit yet?

I am working on modifying my Revozports front bumper and "might" do Moshammer front fenders (I don't want to run -4.5 degrees of camber in the front to match the rear wheel sizing 19x10.5 +12) and I have to modify my KW V3 lowering perches to go a tad bit lower (.25") , no idea why they are maxing out as the HMS fenders will raise the fender line from stock. The idea of doing a 2012+ front end has bugging me too (ILS Xenon Headlights, 507 Hood with new latches). I am literally pulling this car apart and redoing it everything again.
I plan on doing installing and painting it all at once so as soon as I get started I will post some updates.
@Marioflex, those Works look beautiful man.

Dayum - sounds like a great build!

Well yesterday i start lookin for tires. Not many options on performance tyres available. I start with 305/25-20 toyo T1 rear and 255/30-20 front. Looks fine but too low for my taste and does not fill the area in the rears.
Today i install 315/30-20 R888 and this is the look i like and it help me preserve the wheels on Puerto Rico streets. And of course a a lot beter tire in terms of traction and performance. I'm going to change the fronts to 255/35-20 to compensate the rear. I'll post some photos when finish.

The bronze looks really good on white!
Good going on the stepped lipped 20's too. Best of both worlds, as they look like 19's but a lot more options on width with lower profile with 20's

Hey Mort, it looks like the back of your car is lower than mine. Have you experienced any rubbing at all?
I'm thinking of going the coilover route, but am afraid my actual tire will hit the fender here.
Seeing that these are molded on and not metal, I have a paranoia that a rub could leave me fender-less.
Any thoughts?

I am not sure you will get any lower on the back with Coilovers. My KWV3 are as low as they will go and I think my 2010 on H&R was just as low. I did not have H&R on this car so I can't be 100% sure. With my current wheel/tire setup I am not rubbing at all except the liner of the passenger rear at times. The liner is low and even with the flare lip because the flares are so much higher than stock and there is a 1/2" gap between the inside of the flare and the liner. There is a slight difference in suspension from the PFL to the FL but looking at my car I think you will be fine.
It's hard to explain, but I'm thinking I'll need a stiffer suspension so my car does not compress so much, or at least in a much more controllable manner, than it does now.
Mario, what exactly do you mean you've "locked" the rear shocks? have you tightened up the compression and rebound on them?
