Loving the new decal man. Car is definitely on point

[Strawhat]

I've always been curious so I will ask - it might just be the angle of the pics but a lot of cars I've seen pics of running aggressive set ups "appear" to have massive toe out in the rears in order to clear bumper mounts in the arches I can only assume??

I understand the need to add camber and the effects that will have on handling but seriously altering toe can really change how a car drives/feels.

Is it just me or do people actually do that on the rears for fitment or is it just a trick of the eye??

And - cool ride by the way!

In this case it's definitely a trick of the eye, because my fenders are thinner at front than rear, giving the illusion that more of the tire is sticking out on the front side.
That being said on cars with air ride, at lowest point, depending on the type of car and drive height these things will certainly change because alignment specs will change and cars will have heavy tow out typically. Mine does somewhat in the front, the rear stays relatively the same.


Took some better photos, still deciding if the graphics are going to stay.
Dumping them here because you can't stop me.

I think its gotta be a trick of the eye.

so fucking hard

Ryan - have my babies?

I luh you bae.

I love it. They sell some pretty gnarly light bars for off road trucks in all sorts of sizes that would work wonders lol

[rightfullrudder]

Thanks man!
It does just barely. Not enough to see, but as long as I keep one headlight undone I should be okay. I actually might get a lightbar for the grill section to act as a new headlight. We'll see. haha

At least it hasn't burned through the vinyl yet haha. Thank God for SC leniency.

[Strawhat]

the lips on the fronts are absolutely ridiculous

well played with the white

I think changing the color really gave the wheels some depth and made them stand out more. I think it was a good call as well, thank you.

Love the vinyl accents and the white wheels! Does the headlight cover let any light through?

So here's the graphics done on one side. I hand cut them, and I'm too lazy to start the other side. So it's a little lop sided.





The other side of the car isn't done but the white wheels and headlight cover are on!

[ChanceTheNapper]
