+45 for all 4. I used a 25mm spacer up front and 27mm spacer in the rear to have it sit flush.

Oh no!!

What a messy climax! But wait. The anticlimax could be in the Black one. Cuz you will do everything better by learning curve rules. Good luck and sorry about that disaster. It was soon hot!!

Love the build and what an unfortunate outcome.

The low low book value of these cars makes me think twice about modifying them.

Curious what you thought about the Transgo?

I wasn't aware that happened, sorry bro, glad you're ok. Guess you'll have to make the black one badass now.

His black one is the next revision of his silver one that he went all out on after this was wrecked. Talk about turning a bad situation into a good one
