Cool Finally shaved... part II (PICS)

Took another trip to Diamond Auto Body in Sac where they helped me the first time around shaving fenders on my first GS : Finally Shaved! (Part I)

Now on to the next GS, I went with a different setup:
BC Racing BR Type Coilovers (16/14)
Varrstoen 2.2.2. 19x9.5 +12, 19x10.5 +12
Sage RCA's

A little more aggressive on the wheel setup this time around... and I learned the hard way lol. Anyway on to the pics:

Like a kid on Christmas


Dr. Jeff Isidro (PUREgs) going in for the install and shave



Me pulling the rears a la phone book. Yes, I should pull with a roller (as Diamond and everyone else highly suggests), but I'm a stubborn lazy @$$ lol and I was just curious to see what the phone book method was all about. It actually came out clean


Taking a break trying out Chelsea's (xoxocaro) baller wheels and checking out a Rolls-Royce at the Diamond lot



Fruits of our labor



Exhausted, heading home


The next day it's time for alignment work (lifetime alignment at Firestone, even for slammed cars )





Huge thank you again to Diamond Auto Body's Jeff and David (PUREgs and duck9i6) for their hard work and time and always A++ work! And for Lou (LEXLOUGRR) for all his help as well. Finally almost done with my v1 setup... I just need some suspension parts (rear lower control arms, rear toe links, etc.) and exterior details and I'll be done until v2.

Which firestone did you go to that has an flush lift? I have the lifetime alignment for my supra but the firestone by my place has an above ground lift so every time I bring my supra I have to take the bumper off.

Came out clean and even. 10x less work too! Just be sure to heat the fender/qp up real good.

Yeah, as Jeff mentioned. This particular location is in Roseville (Pleasant Grove & Washington)

Try calling around to other Firestone Complete Auto stores closer to you... ask them on the phone if they can do lowered/modified cars and if you're able to align to your own specs
