Some exceptions are made, but that's not one.

Yeah, I test fit my new suspension up front and once the modifications are made to it to make it so it can bolt on I am 90% sure I'm going to have to run a spacer to keep from hitting my front wheels on it. I've got like 1.5 fingers worth of space out back before the wheel would smash into something. I have rub marks all over the fender wells on the front...I actually had smoke coming out of the front fenders on a few occasions at driftwater, haha.


That's the main thing that bothered me about my Regas, is they're only 9" wide out back with a 215 on them and it looks dinky. It looked a lot better with a 245/40 out back...so if I ever ran those regas as street wheels again I'd probably run 235s up front and 245s out back...and space them out just as much as they were.






Brian, that antenna block off plate is JDM as FAK yo!

edit: one more thing. the antenna block off plate, he should have just shaved that as well.
your so damn picky

Holy hell, he's got like $150 in bolts for the fenders and headlights alone. Those Mugen bolts are stupid expensive...and just stupid. Love the CCWs on it though.

Your right and another thing i noticed, he had the intake holes welded up but not the rest of the bay, (right behind the headlights where the stock intake box would go). But it is very nice but i like the one in florida better with the k swap
