Wheels look good. Good to see you got rid of the HEAVY stockers.

Can't wait for some photo shoot pictures.

Looks good man!

**** happens, I'm sure they could have arrived in a lot worse condition for only $1k I guess. We'll see what happens with the rim situation soon enough though, I guess.

And thanks Simon, wouldn't mind having your rims.

Nice man. Glad to see you finally got them. It sucks they weren't as good as described but at least they came. Congrats and can't wait for the next round of pics.

That's the Ben Franklin bridge in Camden, PA. I went to visit my buddies up in Jersey and we took a trip down into Philly last Saturday night for that pic.

Got the car back from Myles at Race Comp Engineering today with the new prototype version of RCE's Sport Lowering Springs (~20mm drop). I then promptly drove over to IAG Performance where I met JJ and had him roll my rear fenders. Once that was done, my boy Paikman and I traded rims again, so the Volks could get back to their proper place!

Here are a couple quick pics I took tonight, but I've got another photoshoot planned for Saturday from my photographer friend on the first post. Stay tuned for more desktop material!









Oh, and I picked these up while I was at IAG, I'll get em on this weekend most likely.

Lookin' good midnit!

How did the fender roll come out? I will be getting some coilovers hopefully soon and I too will have to roll the fenders.

Can't wait to see the photo shoot pics.

Thanks for the comments everyone. The car rides great now and handles even better. I'll be doing a write-up on the suspension this weekend after I've given it a more thorough test and some more spirited driving.

The fenders came out quite nicely. It was the first 08 that IAG Performance had done, they'll be doing their shop car soon enough though. They took lots of pics along the way, wish I could get ahold of their photographer. He said that the fenders were double-lined on the inside or something, so they had to be careful not to crack the paint. They did a damn good job too, only cracked it in one spot, very small and touched it up for me.

I can get some more detailed shots of the roll tomorrow with the wheels on, but they took amazing, well-light, wheel-off shots today at their shop that I wish they could post.
