Thanks!

Calipers look superb, as do all the other closeups of your work. Nice to have such a good resource for some future projects I have in mind

As far as vinyl in the engine bay, I wrapped my Mt Fuji logo on the engine cover about a year ago and it's still as good as day one, but that's a pretty small sample. Vinyl's is pretty tough, if you think about it a black hood or roof wrap in vinyl will get very hot just sitting in a parking lot, probably close to the air temps under the hood.

LOL blnewt, 'modest' may have been more appropriate. I love your vinyl work, and I aspire to develop my skillset to your level one day. The carbon fiber wrap you showed on page 1 is nothing short of phenomenal! I am going to give My Fuji on the engine shroud a shot today or tomorrow.

Cheers mate!

Thanks for posting all of that info, it's very helpful. Those H&R springs are lowwwww, hopefully the ride isn't too rough. What size tires/wheel widths are you running, any rubbing on bumps?

The car looks fantastic and so tastefully done. I'd love to see more of everything- but especially the caliper detail. Well done.

Your car looks incredible, I am just wondering on your wheels? With your drop and offset are you rubbing at all? I love the setup, maybe I would say its perfect.

Looks very nice man, just curious though - How much do the sc-5s weigh? I really like the 5 spoke design. What are your offsets and errything?

Hi Monty,

Hey g37man,

I had my front fenders rolled which helped quite a bit. I don't rub over bumps or potholes; however, if I turn really spirited I do have experience some light rubbing. I tried to keep it as 'safe' as possible since it is my daily driver.

Thanks!

Cheers!

I got ya, yeah I need to keep it as safe as possible also. I would think just a bit more camber in front would help you with the front rubbing though?
