Those images are already 2050x1150 resolution. That's not enough?

Did you need to roll your rear fenders?
No fender-rolling needed. 100% stock suspension/body. It was sitting on a slight hill so I guess that made the rear wheel-gap minimal but looks good. The rears are definitely better than the fronts IMO since I LOVE the deep concavity.

For some strange reason I can't get them to blow up that large.

You have to click on one, then right-click and open the image in a new tab. In case that doesn't work for you, here's a couple:

In related news, I should have my new DRT slotted rotors with black powdercoated hats installed today. You know...to match my black F14s?

The embedded pics aren't coming through for me. Does everyone else see them? I know they're the pics I have on Google Drive but I just don't know which specific ones are in reference.

I'm not sure why it was looking jacked up in the front. I noticed that too and think it had something to do with the positioning of the car on the hill. It's not like that normally.

I can't wait for the rear center caps since the rusty axle bolt looks like . Can someone send them an email to ask about these? I don't have their email address.

They're already addressing the rear center cap issue. If you look back a few pages you can get some more details, buy basically 8 weeks from that date is when we're expecting them.

Ah, Google's URLs were probably dynamically generated. I can fix it, but I'd have to grab the pictures, upload them to my Photobucket, then modify the URLs in my earlier post. Can't do that right now, but maybe later.

Yea I knew that but was doubting that even started it yet and was wondering if we need to send them a friendly reminder. I guess I'm just impatient haha.

I installed DRT rotors last night and cut 3 threads off the axle stubs to prep for the Forgestar F14 arrival tomorrow. It's not hard, provided that you've got a good cordless reciprocating saw and a pair of demolition blades. I also tightened the parking brake--oh man, what a difference!

Could the F14F ever be made to fit our cars? I want something with a lip.

Yea, I tried to find the actual URL for the pictures so I could embed them but that didn't look like it would work with how Google Drive is setup, so I just pasted the URL of the whole shared folder.

Thanks, I think these wheels look great on our cars and am loving the Black Raven with Titanium finish combo!
