N00bie909, Tabaka. It's not for the faint of heart. Pulling is not as easy as slapping a roller tool on there and heating the paint. This was my first time, and my friend that helped do the rear had only used bats in the past.
The back there was no saving the paint way to much of a pull but the front wasn't that bad but the paint still flaked off, not to mention if you want it to look good you will still need filler and some finish work. But in my case I feel it will all pay of in the end.
masagsxr, I made the tool. If you want I'll post some pics tomorrow. Used to do it the old school way. Two spray cans to mark line up how high you are. Measure form center tread to center subtract front from back etc. etc. Not as acurate as a machine but gets the job done.
camberSC, Thanks bro. Your car was a major insperation to get the ball rolling on this
xknowonex, yeah its fake. I used to have a real vertex but it didn't last long. I eat to many front bumpers to keep droping the cash on a real one and I hate working with fiberglass. the rest is steal real. I'm not even sure if it's a vis to be honest.
once again thanks all. I hope to have this ready to start spaying some paint real soon.

pretty dam good fitment, What did you use if it wasnt a fender roller?? I need to do mine. I can do paint/body so I am not worried about the paint(its going a different color anyway). Again props on keeping stock body with VIP wheels, so much cleaner.

dude i've never seen this SC before and I NEEDED to. please post more pictures, as I am close to giving up on my car and selling, but this is honestly the best, most cleanly done SC I've ever seen. i love it!
what were the specs on your first set of wheels? and what kit are you running? (i'm new to the whole aftermarket kits on SC's, not sure what has what subtle difference to others yet, I spent too much time with integras, s2000s, and 240s :P, now onto bigger and better things! :P )

Lol at the pic.
Seriously I never really thought about going with the low offset/hella flush look because I didn't want to run stretched tires or heavily mod the fenders. But after seeing your car and JDMmuscle's car I might have to reevaluate the direction I wanna take my car once I get the funds.
