slapped on the scaras on the blk cherry*

Suspension is on and so are the wheels!

you'll notice the rear needs to come down some.

that will take place later this week when my 15mm spacers arive.

the front will be lowered a tad more when I roll the fenders completely
( for now, I just rolled the fronts with a metal bat.)

specs are 19x9+18 front on a 225/35/19 fk452

and the rear sits on a 19x10+30 on a 235/35/19 fk452

once the spacers are on and the car is adjusted lower, I think it will be a sick looking little beast.

other small mods done are , window visors,dyi grille, exhaust tips and the suspension is Tein HA coilovers.


here is a pic of the front wheel

yeah, you caught me...


the fronts were not rolled prior to install. so I took a metal bat and rolled them myself. only problem is that the paint started chippin on the front fenders.

its all good though, looking at how good the front looks, I'll take it to a body shop and have the fenders rolled tight or cut and drop it another 1/2 inch.

rears are rolled, but due to weak fitment the rear is not been lowered to tuck yet. after 15mm spacers are added I will drop accordingly.

You've come a long way with your ride(s)! Nice going!

If you cut the rear fenders, you won't have any issues with the quarter
panels warping (someone above asked). Air saws are your friend...

Can't wait to see the rig with a kit!

I never liked scara's much but on your car for some reason they look like they really belong with it. I just am not feeling the pics with tehm on an LS for some reason. Looks very nice though.
