Got a little greedy - 10"/11" on UCF20

Just wanted to share my experience.

Auto Couture Magnifiques
19"x10" +6 (hi-disk) w/ Michelin Pilot Sport 225/40
19"x11" +12 w/ Michelin Pilot Sport 255/35

IMHO these are 10mm too aggressive to DIY fender roll/pull. I did it but there's some dimpling I'm going to have to get a body shop to fix.
I think the stretch is perfect though. Wouldn't change that. We'll see if that stays true once it goes lower.
Had to use a heat gun and a towel to heat up and form the fender liners so they fit with the pull.

Wow, props for doin wide wheels on an LS. Don't see that too often
And fitment looks pretty good.
F the pull, a lil lower and camber and you'll be golden.

Thank guys!

Definitely plan on going lower. Just tired of playing around with it for now. I want to drive and enjoy it for just a bit until the bug bites again.
I honestly don't even think I need much more camber to get it lower as well. Bonus!

I like it very much.

Where did you get the clear corners? how's the fitment/quality?

I did them myself. Used a very sharp utility blade and cut a small window out of the side. Removed the orange lens and glued the window back in place. You can see the lines from 2" away but after that no way.
Fitment is perfect. =)

Looking clean. Saw them on the Liberty blog too. Only thing I'd change is the clear bumper lenses to body color - front end is just a little busy for how clean your ride is. Sick, sick, sick whip none the less. Nice work, I'm sure it's even more impressive in person.

Thanks for the idea. I actually tinted the stock lenses. I didn't like it. They're so big they can't be hidden. Just going to have to shave them.

lol, been there/done that. I feel ya' - I painted my stock lenses body color and it looked funny - but mine are probably twice the size of LS ones but rhombus shape, flush with the bumper though, but yeah, shaving them is ideal. I''m getting my corners shaved on my stock bumper and ditching the bumper in my sigg.

I had a similar idea. I wanted to puncture the orange lens and break into into pieces then just get them out through the hole where the bulb goes lol. I was gonna try it on my old ones first but never got around to it. They look good. Might have to use your method if mine fails. They don't fog up when exposed to water do they?

I tried the drilling the lens out but it didn't work for me. At which pointed I was pretty much committed so I just stared at them for a couple minutes until I got the stones to cut them.
No fogging. I sealed them up really well afterwards. Although a spider did get in there, built a web in the corner and proceeded to die in it. Been in there for over a year now.
