Looks amazing! How the heck did you fit those offsets? Is that a gtc? Even if so the fronts should be sticking out a mile with those specs. Are you sure they arent 50s opposed to 20 ets?

Dude, you nailed it. It's faster now just parked! Absolutely gorgeous! I use mine pretty much as a daily driver and the roads around here just won't support the lowering or I would be following in your footsteps. Kudos.

I can assure you they arent the specs you posted. They would be sticking out over an inch on a gts and would be aggressive for a gtr. I only care to correct this for future people seeing this and buying wheels in this spec and finding they wont fit. Vossens wheels are always in the 50 and even 60 ets for the GTS with.

Thank you AMG-GT-S-2016.

Bought the car with the facelift bumpers already. Ordered the side skirt from a local dealer and no point of telling you because im not staying in the USA. But you can purchase it from darwinproaero.com

You can try alibaba.com. Its pricey because its not just the carbon fiber part but the whole side skirt up to the rear fenders.

Hi AMG,

I've ordered from Alibaba. It's mixed. I've had some good (quality) purchases and some not so good, but it's about the same everywhere. I've had absolute junk from Amazon, but mostly good purchases.

One purchase I made from Alibaba was a GM tech II clone. This had a hacked SW. It performed perfectly! So good that half the members of one forum bought them (still buying them far as I know). These units could pass for a GM Tech II which sold for a couple $ thousand and needed a SW subscription at an additional price. The clone was a couple $ hundred.

Just one experience I had.

Best,

Acta
