Default Finally a sunny day in Vancouver

I finally have the time to take some pictures of my car before my Note 7 explodes (yeh I am sending it back for the recall tomorrow) on a sunny day in Raincouver.

Thanks. Yes the car sits perfectly now. The RCF fender moldings did wrap it up very well.

That sky must be photoshopped - it's never sunny in Vancouver!

Kidding aside, nice clean mods!

Hey there,

Love your TRD build on the 3IS, don't see too much 3IS being modded or anything in Western Canada!

What's the full specs on your ZE40's and tire size and any pull or roll fenders?

Thank you,

Howard

Perfect! Thanks for the reply. Any rubbing issues on the front? I was gonna run almost the same size for the front next season but with 235/40/19 tire and rim measurements are the same.

Haha thats very true, Im in Van a lot to visit family and all I see is bimmers and then all the exotics crawling all over Richmond a lot lol.

Front has no rubbing issue, rear did, but pulled the rear fender a bit, i would say pulled about 2mm to allow more clearance without having the fender looking super weird.
