looking sharp. i like
15 and 20? I just measured and I have 4mm of clearance with the stock racing harts and 215/45 bridgestones. With the fenders rolled that would give me maybe 8. How are you fitting 15 and 20? Are you running 205s? I guess some tires bulge more than others. The negative camber helps a bit too I guess, but 15-20 seems like I would be outside the well.
It does rub under load at the rear. 10mm would clear with no issues I'm guessing. But it looks sooo much better with the 15's. Not wanting to do a roll or negative camber I might have to since this is really the look I'm looking for. I had some 5/16 spacers before but you can't tell the difference. Tires are 215/45's btw

That should be sick, post some pics once thats done. I cant wait to get mine recleared or buffed or whatever it needs. I'm going around today to see what people will charge, I dont trust myself buffing haha. We just had some more pics taken of my group of friends' cars and the hood sticks out because of those fades. Need it fixed!
I just dont have experience with carbon fiber hoods fading but being raised rather than going down to the fibers. Does anyone know about this? it seems raised and rougher where the fade is..will a simple buff fix that or does it need a full reclear? (maybe some heat tape under the hood, since the fade is in the shape of the engine?)

My hood was starting to look slightly faded underneath my florescent lights. It is also fairly rock chipped from AZ highways, but before I brought myself to pay $500 to have it properly refinished, I used some polishing compound by hand, then a paint cleaner, polish and wax, and got it looking much much better. I've wet sanded a scratches here and there too with good results with a 2000 grit. It is scary when you see the initial dull result, but it polishes right up again.
I still will repaint it at some point due to the rock chips, but from a couple feet away or in pics it looks perfect now.

Be aware $500 is a ton to pay for that. Mine cost $180 professionally done.
