the only thing that sucks, chris is that i constantly get keyed at school all the time so touch up paint is very useful. Also, the white paint makes you want to wash your car when there are spots. I'm thinking about putting the same body kit you have on your on mine, but too $$$ ... So i think my work with my car is done ... now it's time to enjoy the ride and save up money and get another car when it dies.

Wow your car looks great. Can you post the tire sizes front and rear? Did you get the tires from the same place?
I would really like to get those wheels in 17s so I could have a bit more rubber, but after seeing your car, I think I will pull the trigger on the 18s.

nice pix ynvdizw124. Dernt, the pix i showed you are the after pix ...There are two types of things you can do to your fenders. Rolled meaning the fender has the " L " shape ... at the bottom of the " L " has to be folded like this " l " so that the outer tire will not rub. Pulled means you move the " l " out " / " something like this but slighting curve ... it looks nice ... if you go back to my attach pixs the 4th pix is the back view of the car showing the pull and roll ... I'll get the 245 soon
