Default Finally! Some pics of my car. They are crappy though.

So after lurking around on CL for 7 months, I finally took some photos of my car. I apologize that my camera is obsolete and the car is dirty. I wanted to clean her up after this week and snap some better shots, but unfortunately, the wheels are off my car and are for sale. I've got to hand it to you VIP guys out there, you must put a lot of work into your fenders to make those crazy offsets work. I was only running 20x9 et35 in front with 245/35 tires and managed to damage the fender, but we won't talk about that here. Enjoy!

RMMGS4: In case you see this thread, this is why you saw my car at Exact on Friday. I was getting my rear fenders shaved.

Man, those are some nice rims, sorry you had to let them go! Did shaving and rolling the fenders not give you enough clearance?

Car is coming along nice.. The wheels are nice.. Why wouldn't they work? Alot of guys are running 20x9 wheels with no fenders mods.. Is it the offset maybe..? That stinks you had to let them go..

Thanks for your compliments guys! I did some "reshaping" and fender rolling but I don't think it will fit without a stretched tire and negative camber. I would run stretched tires in front, but all the tires right now are new and it would be a waste. Plus I'm broke and still have to get my fender repainted (cracked paint) and get an alignment.

I have a smaller problem as well when I hit that dip, it seems that on the inner plastic lining towards the top, I wore it out and there is a small hole. I took a peek and prodded it with my finger to feel what is there, there is a small piece of sheet metal and some plastic tube as well. I hope this doesn't become a problem later on. I would take a picture but with the luck I've been having, it's no surprise my camera just broke today.


Quick Reply: Finally! Some pics of my car. They are crappy though.
