Leave the center cap black just throw some reflective red bowties or SS decals on.
Just had the F1's mounted on the Junk Yard Dogs today, picking them up tomorrow.

Ok call me a cheap ****. I was just outside taking a more **** approach *the camera is upstairs and in a box hhe cant get it yet as they are still working up there grrr*.
I was outside and checking out the rear view.. and notice the driver side appears to stick out such that I can see the first groove of the sumitomo tread when I look at the bottom of the body panel as it curves inward.
The passenger side you cant see that first tread groove.
Looking at it from above it seems like the driver side is sticking out a little further as well and from the front.
I have an adjustable phr on it, but not sure if this tire shop has ever dealt with one. I know I havent adjusted it yet etc. Assuming I take it back to these guys for a little rear alignment
haha, what or how should I help them do it? Will they need a spacer? OMFG!!! HORSESHIT GUZZLING!!!! Imma go get my damn camera brb

Each wheel.
On a side note. Any thoughts on the chrome center caps/lugs and locking lug?
Cant decide if I should go all black with black lugs and locking lug.
Or maybe black lugs and chrome centercap..

I'm lowered and i had to cut out a 1/2" x 12" strip from the inside of the fender lip. I was getting those lil gouges and i also did a lil ford wrenching on the inner fender well. Didn't really notice the bump stops. I'll have to take a look at those.

Yep, and leave the back seats in up position when whacking the bitch
If not they won't latch back on.

Haha never even considered that thanks for the tip.
the back top of the wheel well, either side,. seems to have a little sharp peice that kinda extends over he tread area... did you bang that upwards as well or round it out or anything? Couldnt ell if it was plastic molding or metal.
Ill have to wait till tomorrow to get a better view of it...
I was sooo happy thinking I wasnt gonan need any hammering or trimming hehe
