Default NEW PICS: smaller tires stretched on the back, and smoothened out the fender pull

I redid the rears, refitted the dogleg mouldings, and hammered out the door edge to blend with the roll.

smaller tires as well, and lowered a bit more - running HKS Hipermax coilovers on the rear now. old tire was a 245/40, new tire is a 225/40...on an 11J















HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE:
