Interesting choice on getting a 245/45 instead of 245/40. But it's look meaty on those 19s and the brakes really pop behind. Looking awesome! Keep it up.

2 reasons for the size:

I wanted extra sidewall with the ****ty New England roads.

And I scored the tires for $81.10 apiece brand new. Any other size was $180 apiece.

Nice fitment, and hella-score on the tire deal!
Do you have a pic (or would you mind taking one) directly down the side, would like to see that exact fit to the edge of the fender as the 9.5+35 w/245s is a spec I'm leaning toward.
Thanks!

I like the wheels. It may be due to the fact they look a lot like mine, less one spoke... lol

TopSpeed beveled tip catback finally came! It's been a long wait since I ordered on 10/24. Painted the engine cover to tie in with the brakes. I also dipped the lower rear bumper section to see how I liked it.

I've had TopSpeed exhaust for a few months now. It's a long story documented in the thread somewhere. Long story short: after months of waiting, they sent me the "only beveled tip due in for months." Well, it turns out it was still straight tip. So I was able to install it and run that one until the actual beveled tip came in. So I just swapped them out and will be sending the straight tip back.

Ok, I'm sure I read about that back then, lol. Glad you finally got the proper looking set, I still can't believe they would ship that crap tip version. I doubt anyone would be happy w/ how that looks

If you don't mind me asking where did you get those DRLs from they don't look like the non sport OEM DRLs that's why I ask look like the sport one, looks better IMO.

The DRL's are individual LED's that are drilled and mounted to the bumper.

The Swift springs on stock struts have been great. But I just needed a little more low.

So I ordered Fortune Auto coilovers today! Now, I wait for them to be built.
