So after I put on the fabulous profounds, it lowered my car about 1.5" just due to sidewall height. Went from a 225/50/18 to a 225/35/19
And because of that, I would scrape my exhaust on every driveway. And I already had it tucked up, apparently not enough. So I went to my local muffler shop and got it taken care of

My car on their rack



The main problem area, hung about 1 inch or so below the frame



Cutting off the x-pipe and rear portion



Removed the main heatshield right above the x-pipe. It prevented me from going any higher so it was removed. I may or may not put on some exhaust wrap tubing depending on if i feel any excess heat coming into the cabin



2x4 laid flat against the frame. Now my piping clears the frame by about 2 inches or so. So if I scrape anything now, i'll be scraping frame



All completed



Oh and one of my friends dropped by to adjust his mufflers on his full exhaust system
Porsche Panamera Turbo



Upskirt

My fusa came in yesterday. Thanks to sean @ jdmpalace!





Got my car fully detailed this morning
I have my 370z wheels up front coz I sent one of the front wheels back for minor touch up. There was still a bit of curb rash, but I should have it back by tomorrow or this weekend hopefully

Hmmmm. I normally use Mequire's liquid and it does ok but now my car is the moonburst( grayish blue with dark grey on bottom) so thinking about changing and your black finish is sweet. Wonder if that what help bring the best out of it...

Got an alignment today finally. Good thing I did it before I mess up my brand new tires lol
Pretty difficult getting up the rack, scraped frame the whole way up even with 2x4's. And my rear tires would spin and shoot the 2x4's out from under the car so many times. Had to sit in the trunk and have ppl push the car up onto the rack

Specs are now -2.5 camber front and -4.5 camber rear. All factory adjustments
Ppl are telling me to get toe as close to 0.00 as possible but the alignment guy said that he put it under oem specs
