i saw some ralliarmors for the first time in person while i was driving and i didn't care for them. they were mounted on a new legacy (the guy had done just the right amount of appearance mods to make it look extremely nice), but as i was riding behind him at night i couldn't help but notice how flimsy they were. and that made my headlight reflection in them flash annoyingly

1. Put summet set-up on and cleaned brake calipers/repainted red.
2. Got her washed and then noticed that my passenger side rear deflector popped out, hoping it was at car wash and they can find it!
3. Tried calibrating my MAF with ATR, we'll see how that works out.

Took apart the front BC coilovers and took a ring out. I did the same for the rears. And I shaved the fenders, not rolled. The outcome was awesome. I now tuck a little bit of tire in the front and rear. Perfect!
The only negative to taking out a ring in the fronts is bottoming out on really hard bumps. I did on my way home, but I like the look so I'm keeping it the way it is.

Thanks. These are the two tools I used for the fenders. I used the cut-off tool to initiate the cut and to make room for what came next. I then used a reciprocating saw to finish it off. Starting off with the reciprocating saw was a little rocky, but I eventually got it going. It's about a 30-45 min job, maybe less. I'm rust proofing everything first thing tomorrow. I couldn't do it at the time. I ran out of time.

Hey man, where did you get the metal center caps at?

made her jealous, drove by a SICK yellow S2k with Color changing Te37's(yes)
Thanks man. Yes, I have camber plates with the hats sawed out with a 3" hole saw. Also SPC camber arms in the rear.
P2k, I hope you put some kind of sealer over the bare metal, otherwise ur gonna have major rust issues down the line
