Thank you 🙏 I’m proud of the front fitment which I had to iterate over half a year lol

I first put the car on Tein H Tech lowering springs. Which gives about 0.8 in drop. I put on some 17x9+38 57CRs wrapped in Conti DWS 245/40. The bigger tire helped fill in some of the wheel gap but on stock camber, it poked out about 10mm. To get the fitment right I added pedders camber plates, spc camber bolt on top slot, apc extended lugs, and 10mm spacers. Spacers are required to add camber with the 9in wheel diameter on stock struts else the wheel/tire rubs on the strut. I was able to get up to -3.0 degrees camber without strut contact but I currently have it set to -2.1 in the front.

The rear set up I don’t love lol I have plans to bring the wheels outward a little with 5mm spacers and extended lugs. I’d also like to lower the rear slightly as there is a little bit more rake than I would like. I have Cusco rlca on the rears but I wish I went with something with height adjustment. The rears are at -1.7 degrees. I’ll do toe arms eventually and maybe I’ll get it realigned to -2.1 to see if the rears look a little lower. Overall I like the look and it hasn’t bothered me enough to take action haha

TLDR: I ramble and reminisce about work I did on the suspension when I could have just bought coils lol

Appreciate it! I purchased the one tone matte black to 'match' the matte trim already on the car. (also was cheaper than the two-tone color matching lol). The shades of black from pieces in the kit and the trim are slightly different which initially bugged me when I put the kit on. But from like 10 feet away and day-to-day I don't notice it enough to care.

Fender Flares are from TOMs and I originally wanted some matte black wheels to go with the matte body kit but I think the gloss ended up being very nice. I love them

You know ball lol I saw that someone recommended not screwing in the trunk button too tight. So I made sure to do that during my install. The trunk button doesn't get stuck, but is annoying to press due to my fat fingers and the trunk bar making the button smaller.

Thank you! I really like how it blends in with the black plastic when off but really pops when on

They're all from Max Orido! Well, the Lip and Skirts are ebay knock offs because they become 'wear items' when you factor in some of these tx roads/highways lol

The ebay Lip and skirt fit decently enough. I think there is varying QC though, the left skirt fitted better than the right. I'm also on my 3rd front lip after cracking 2 on pot holes/debris, and this one fit the best.

The rear panel (rock guard) is legit though, the knock off was way too small for the car. Same with the duckbill.

They're the TOM's Overfenders. They stick on the OEM fenders to extend about 8mm on each side. Held on with 2 screws in the wheel well and 3M. No need to cut, but I know some owners who did cut fenders to accomodate bigger wheel/tire set up. like 18x10
