maybe you arent seeing the pics correctly, people. YOU CANNOT FIT SPACERS! THE WHEELS CANNOT COME OUT ANY MORE THAN THEY ARE! the rears ALREADY HIT THE FENDERS! the fronts ALREADY HIT THE FENDERS ON BUMPS.....

I have to be honest.....the first time I saw the kit about 3 years ago at SEMA, I was not impressed. The kit was too boxy and didn't flow.

But.....you did the modifications that make the difference.....

Depending on how thick the fender walls are, the wheels do look a little sunken in. I'm wondering if you made the fender walls thinner, could you push the wheels out a little....maybe more stretch on the tires.

Otherwise, nice job!!!

rear fender is 1/2 thick. we cut it as small as we could without it being so thin it would crack. fronts are 1". tried pulling the wheels out and they hit on turns. you will notice the front could actually stand to be about 1" dropped, but we had rubbing issues.

trust me boys, ive tried

i guessing those fenders are fiberglass. i'd be scared to shave them too much or else they may lose their shape. i think the wheels look fine as is.

Wow, this thread is over 2 months old and I missed it.
This is not my type of thing but I can really appreciate it.
The effort put in came out great. The unique-ness is huge.
This is modding!

who am I to say?
this is langsdale's labor of love.
But if I did say, I'd integrate the air foil to the body form
and debadge!

that said, kudos on such grand individualism.

glad you all like. i appreciate your accolades greatly.
jimmer, i actually rebadged it so ppl know i did all that to a Lexus. you know? that no car is safe.
ice350, im glad you caught it. tell your friends.

its at slick motorsports right now, unfortunatly, for another month or 2 getting the turbo installed. Synapse took great care of me to pull off this project and i hope you like the final design. the will look much nicer with an exhaust.
thanks again
joe
