Took some time this weekend and painted the calipers since in all the pics of my car, the calipers are all worn and dumb lookng behind nice wheels. so we just got some nice metallic silver and kept it real simple

How did you trim your fenders, so i can get an idea... And about fender pulling how does that get done? Im guessing you dont rub at all

no trimmed the fender liners. i prefer that over removing the fender liner all together cause ultimately that looks dumb. as far as pulling the fenders and fender rolling thats easy. just seach around the boards and im positive there are pics, or just youtube it.

no i dont get any rub mainly because i have a good amount of stretch. but i do rub on the rear wheels lol. but i need to get stiffer spring rate coilovers to help that so when i go lower it wont touch at all

I have my rear fenders rolled, my front is not as low that I will need a roll but def rubbing all over my plastics and thats what I meant do you have any pictures of your trimmed plastics im working on them some more tomorrow... Yeah im one click away from being all the way stiff but will go that stiff to see if it helps from rubbing in the rear as well
