I prefer Yakuza's look for the fact that it not only looks damned-near stock, but it "should" also allow him to run a larger tire in the future, should he choose. I love the slammed look, but I love a functional setup just the same. I think his allows the best of both worlds. Just my thoughts...

I think it looks perfect now...I just HATE devil or oni camber that is just lame...MY OWN OPINION.
if you do decide to tuck (which is cool too) you need to radius the rear panels so it is even. I hate they our rear fenders are lower than the front. look at speedadicts ride with the rears raised 1"

once again my opinion...

well been a while since my last update so i flared my gs to fit my new 19x13.5 rear wheels and loved the look parked aired out but hated it at ride height so ended up hacking away the flares and part of the tub for more low and wheel clearance and will be creating a new skin to fit the wheel. camber was not an option cause i couldnt find ruca.well here are some pics now feel free to comment ur input or have any questions.

dude raise that line up so it matches your front. it does not look right with the back tucking rim and the front showing tire....my opinion but look at the comment I said above. these cars need a radius to make it symmetrical. just think about it, your car bro

The fender line is a tricky thing. Personally, I wouldn't raise it a bunch because it's going to look super high if he has a decent ride height. I don't like when people build their cars to be flush aired out and then they are mexi-flush going down the road with the fenders way above the tires aired up.

That's why I'm never going air, I only care about being flush at ride height, which will be no where near as low. What size tire you running on the 13.5? I want less stretch when I go 13.5,but I think I'll be stuck with a 325/30. I wish a 335/25/19 was available

I raised it 3/4 of an inch wich is fine and yes tiger4life is right if i cut and looks flush when slammed it will look dum when raised i have a general idea of how i want the finish to look also the front wasnt aired down all the way. If i air out the front i tuck the entire tire and about 1/4 of the lip as for tires im on a 295/30/r19

I though the front was aired out in the pic....as long as it matches the front,I think it will look good
