My baddest photoshoot ever

[motorprestige]

Please don't ever shadowline your car. Your car is nice i'll admit but it isn't my bucket 'o' chicken, i think chrome kidneys would help out a lot but i am sure you will disagree with me as we have very different taste in cars. What did you do to your emblem? Reminds me of some kids spray painting their honda emblems to acheive that "gun metal" look.

Looks sweet as always TJ, good stuff.

Edit: just noticed, our cars have the fender lip damage and the same rear quarterpanel outward ding, same location as well. ;)

Let's see pics of your car.

Alright, a good old-fashioned "who's car is better" pissing contest!

TJ, that's pretty nuts that the 205/45-16's cause the rubbing. My rims are et20's and I run 225/50-15's on my 15/7 et20 rims. I bet the difference is that I may have a slightly different amount of camber. That's my only guess. I've only rubbed in the rear, and I bent my inner fender well in further so it wasn't an issue.

The only time I ever rub in the rear is if I have like 5 passengers. They are 205/50-16, not 45 though. My car is a lot lower than yours, thats why it hits.

I was looking at your front though. I thought my front was as low as yours, but it's not. Sorry about that. I do agree though, my rear is higher. That's cause I put a bunch of pads back there...which I may remove later, not sure yet.

Doesn't change anything though, I still love your car man!

There aren't that many lowering springs out there that are this low, save for coil overs. It's hard to tell but there is a shadow over the tire in the first pic so you can't see the top of the tire. If its not tucking, its dead even with the fender height.

Thanks a lot though. I am really digging your car now as well, it's come a very long way!

looks good as always tj. i havnt washed mine in about 5 months so you have me beat. and i used to have rubbing like no other when i had 225/45/17. my front driver fender looks worse than yours from them also, but luckly it was fucked up already anyways. im running 215's on the 17's now and i have no bubbing issues.

No kidding man, 225/45-17 is huge :D It was worse when I tried out 225/50-16 for a little bit, that's an E36 sized tire that I got for free, it was rediculous.

Thanks TJ, that means a lot to me! It has come quite a way. I have a lot i still need to do though. I wish I could spend more money, but I have to sit on my hands! LOL

Yea, I saw that shadow, and that's how I knew it was definately lower than mine. I just thought since I had IE3's that it would sit as low, WRONG. lol

Thanks again though, I appreciate the compliment. I've been trying to get some more pictures of my car recently, but the last time I tried to go out one night for a photoshoot, I had some trouble with cops (checked me out while takin pics somewhere, then my window motor broke (had to get my window up), THEN I got pulled over again cause I forgot to turn on my headlights after taking a couple pics). Soon! lol

Ok, sorry I'm getting off track. One other thing I didn't mention - your car looks amazing for not being cleaned for 3 motnhs. Mine has been uncleaned for about 3 weeks, and it looks like ass from that close. Get about 70 ft away, and it looks alright. lol

Looks good as always TJ. I'd like to see what some 16" 5-lug weaves with nogaro centers would look like on your car. But that would take some $$$ to pull off. ;)


Come to think of it, I wish I had some 16" nogaro weaves.

I have 225/50-16s waiting to go on - rolling comes first.

i had the same fender roll out on me, same spot on my old red car. It realy does suck.

Ca still looks good none the less man!
