I've been trying to find the time to get some proper pictures. Hopefully this week.

Took her up to complete customs to have it fine tuned and painted and after rolling with the fenders unpainted for several weeks and having zero issues the first weekend I drive it I must have hit a good dip in the road enough to rub the inside lip of the driver side fender and it jacked the fender up a bit. Nothing visible from the outside but I'm going to have to take it back to get fixed.

That sucks that even at that ride height its rubbing. Maybe they can remove some material from the inner fender lips to keep that from happening in the future.

I like it at that height, looks fine. Actually it looks killer.

Those damn cars are too damn low stock IMO. Sure it looks great low, but that's it. Sucks to be that low around here.

D. Lil · 07-12-2015, 05:13 PM

Yeah, I meant to tell them to shave the inner lip. It is a good two inches and it only shows to be rubbing on the inner-most half inch.

The plan is to shave the lip and see if I have any problems and then take it back to get touched up. I definitely would like to lower it just a touch when I get some coilovers on.

Is there an easy way to disconnect the leaf spring to test for clearance at full compression? It may not be a bad idea to do that after trimming but before paint.

Yeah, I've thought about it. It is just one single bolt in the leaf spring. It SHOULD be pretty simple.

Thanks guys! I've got a nice flyby video but it plays choppy as hell on photobucket.

Those tunnel pics are badass. You definitely killed it.
