Default Quick Shoot with 2 Local F Owners
Did a 20 minute photo shoot with Nicklausw and Ping83 after Cars & Coffee yesterday... great looking cars! Nick had his wheels delivered and installed 15 hours beforehand

Both cars are sporting upgraded 2011+ headlights, bayson R lips, tinted glass, blacked out trim & grille, and lowering springs (Tein and Swift, I believe). Nick is pulling off a 19x10 setup with the LC818 while Matt has a staggered setup with his Varrstoen ES2 that are powder coated gloss black. Both vehicles also have Joe Z Performance exhaust, and some other mods that I'm sure I am forgetting, but the owners can chime in if needed.

I believe the LC818 are 19x10+38 all around, not sure on the varrstoen. I'll ask them to come answer your question

Thanks for the awesome shots Zazh! I have the Starfire. The specs Zach stated for mine are correct. I am a running 255/35 and 265/35 tire combo.

It came with 12%. The reason I know is one of Illinois' finest state troopers after measuring gave me a friendly reminder that it is not exactly legal.

I'm surprised to see that there's a difference in the ride height between the two or is it just how the pictures come out? Nicks with the Teins looks more even and a touch lower overall. I'm in the market for springs so that's why i'm asking.

Did you have something to do with the shine on these cars?

The USB F might have some 22ple. I've read a review OP did on a USB for detail image not long ago for one of the new 22ple coats. Really stunning! OP was the one who sold me on 22ple.

After chatting with the guys about that, I believe it has more to do with tire size than actual ride height. Perhaps they can chime in.

Perhaps Both Nick & Matt worked with me to fully correct their paint. Here is a picture I snapped while we were working on Matt's car last year. Remove the years of paint damage really made the USB come to life.

Nick's car was equally as bad, and turned out really really well. Nick working away in the shop...

Matt's USB was coated with 22ple VX Pro 2 (link below) and Nick's SFP was coated with CQuartz Finest.

Yep, Matt's car was featured in my product review of 22ple VX Pro 2...
