This looks great! Very often I see HRE wheels with not enough offset. This looks great! Why did you go back to non painted standard front lip?

Those are some steamroller rear tires-345's! (better then being in the boat with those of us with the 325/20's that aren't available) Car looks great. So are getting a new exhaust so the Champion/Werks rear diffuser will fit? Be warned-on your lowered car that diffuser will scrape-maybe even more then the lip.

Since our wheels are custom, we allow the customer to specify their spec/offset. It's always best to work with a dealer to get the right configuration.

Thanks for all the compliments! When I saw the car with yellow deviated stitching and the Aerokit, I was sold. I've been looking for a turbo for quite some time and the mod list was always in the back of my mind.

Oh, I know.... The diffuser looks soooo cool though!!! Still debating the KW Hydraulic Lift Kit, just can't come to terms with the $$$$ for it.

I want to see how livable the lowered ride height is (read: how bad I tear this one up) before I decide to put the Aerokit lip or some other aftermarket lip on.

I asked it to be set at about an inch (25mm) lower, they went a little lower (maybe like 30mm).

Thanks! So true about black. Nothing looks better, pain the butt to keep clean. Use the 2 bucket technique (soapy water and rinse water) and a leaf blower to minimize the swirls.

Well done, car looks georgous.

Btw, David used to work on my car before he moved out of state. He is the best of the best imo. I gotta catch him when he comes down to work on my car again.

Congrats on a beautiful setup!! It reminds me quite a bit of mine actually.

How you liking the V3's so far? I'm really loving mine, although sometimes the ride at low speeds is a bit harsh. Once I get above 40 or 50, the ride smooths out considerably. I'm thinking I just need to fiddle with the rebound settings a bit.
