:barf: to much stretch in the front for me. it will probably look way better when you flare it though
back looks good though :dblthumb:

Dang, you should seriously just run like -1.5 degrees in the front. It really does not wear that quick at all. Everything looks good though.

Is that picture of your cluster a high ISO shot or are they actually that bright? I have been looking for some bright stuff forever and bought a set of every color they have at SuperBrightLeds.com but have not tried the whites yet, the rest were extremely dim and depressing even though i bought the ones with the widest angle. :/

Looking good though :D

Loving your progress, whats your plans for the coupe you picked up? not a bad deal, looks clean

What offset are your wheels? love the 527s!
The rears look great, you gonna roll the fenders?

Thats how bright they are lol I've been taking all these pics with my iPhone so far. You can also use the dimmer if you don't want them like that but it's really not that bad lol

I got my stickers at Ihatestickers.com

Here's the Breakdown on my wheels:

I'm running 17x9.75 +25 all around with 205/40/17 up front and 225/45/17 in the rear.
I'm going to switch the rears to 215/45/17 for a little more stretch.
As you see it in the photos I have a 25mm spacer up front just to clear the coils so they are at +0
I bought 25mm spacers for the rear to make the wheels sit even so I'm gonna be flaring out all the fenders.
So the final setup is gonna be:
Front: 17x9.75 +0 205/40/17
Rear: 17x9.75 +0 215/45/17
That should be done by this week or next week along with my Q45 brake swap, AP stainless lines, and possibly the pignose if I can find a spray can that kinda matches my paint.
After that I gonna slow down on buying parts and get the coupe running and daily it.

The closeup of your silver sparkle paint is very nice. Dig the sparkle.
Glad to see progress, although I'm still waiting for the flight deck you promised....
