So as of now you went wide with the rear and stock on the front? What did it roughly cost you?

Also where did you get the CF emblems at?

Looks sick man. Know I already gave you props on SVT, but I just registered over here. Lol. Do have a question though. How do those Nitto's hook up? I'm running Michelin Pilot Super sports right now and honestly I want something that hooks a little better.

i think he meant that the tires needed to be taller not wider. i agree. they are too low profile. 345 are def wide enough but with a little more height they may close that gap off. otherwise it looks pretty nice.

There's a company that sells an exact fit, whole kit, inner fender, brake ducts glue etc, and paints oem exact match color for $1800. They don't do yellow for whatever reason. I'll be ordering my kit this summer. The rims is what cost the most cash.. Lol I'll probably go with black zo6 spyders. 19x13

Yes very sure. It was lowered before the blower went on for the sole purpose that the front would be lowered with the extra weight.

My friend bought this same kit and had it painted off of the car and it looks good but you can tell its not a perfect match. I rather do things right the first time and spend the money than having to spending it later to correct something.

It's had time to settle now so its a tad lower especially with gas in it but in all I'm happy with it and no more money for appearance for a while cause TX2K13 is coming up and performance matters.
