Eric's GS is very nice but he asked me for a shoot but is too busy to hook up.

Eric, what are you going to do with the Breeds after your new wheels are done?

Thanks Reg. LOL, are you sure it's not you that's too busy for the shoot? The Breeds might go up on the selling block after I get the new wheels.

Alright, now we're cooking. I got a reaction. Let's do that shoot. Today. Tomorrow. Make the call.

as usual the ride is always looking classy no matter what configuration. I know exactly where the photos were taken. My wife has lots of family in Florida and we have gone on a few cruises.

You have inspired me to try to take some shots with some water in the background . I have 2 lakes within 15 miles of my house but the weather this weekend is going to be rainy and cloudy so no luck for this week

In pic #6 where your fender and front bumper meet is that from rolling your front fenders? or did you push your fender out from rubbing??

Yeah, its from rolling. Not sure if you read the rolling/shaving thread but it was from the tab towards the front bumper on the fender's fault. lol

My advice to you is to use a heat gun and heat up the plastic liner, push it around till it seems like it's spread out aka doesn't need the fender tab to hold it in place. From there cut that tab near the front fender with a tool, I used a dremel from work, nail salon ftw. lol, then roll the rest as needed.

In my honest opinion, if you want to be low and have decent to aggressive offsets, you will need to run stretch tires. Given, yeah Chicago roads suck but think of the sidewalls being stiffer depending on what psi your running and how much of a stretch you plan on having.
