[QUOTE=636;2115182]Good news everyone! For you who hated my camber setup... Rejoice! Rejoice!

My new setup just arrived.
SSR GTV02 18x9.5 +40
And yes, these WILL be getting a properly fitting tire.

Is it bad that I read the first sentence in my "Professor Farnswoth" voice? :lol:

Regardless, the new setup looks killer, cant wait to see them mounted!

Some photos from my last car-show with this setup. New tires came today, new studs are going on Friday, so I should be on my SSR's by Monday. Depending on if I really want to do it or not.

Gold rivets look sick though!

So, BC sent me my replacement collars, so that means functional is happening this weekend.

But in other news, wrapped my interior. First time using this vinyl, love it.

Well, it's all done. Back up on 18x9.5 +40, wrapped in 255/35/18's. I'm at about -2.5 degrees all around, just need to raise the rear a little bit to match the front, and get an alignment and I'm done.

Again, huge thanks to @GuerillaRacing for hooking it up on the SSR's, extended studs, and lugnuts.

Honest question; why change up the camber? Tired of scrape city or were you just done with the look?

hmong337 03-01-2015 09:21 PM

The car doesn't look broken anymore!

This is my daily driver. I couldn't justify driving with -11.5 degrees everyday, let alone having my rear wheel bang into my fender on every bump.

Plus, I just want to be able to drive car free, and I can now. Haha

Hahaha bro I know that feel all too well. I'm not a big camber guy, but I can really appreciate the clean look and dedication put into it.

Also god damn every time I look at that pearl green I get a nerd boner for days. It gives me hope for my pearl purple I want to do sometime.

Which type of vinyl did you use?

xxscaxx 03-20-2015 03:29 PM

He used the same vinyl as the exterior....Emerald Green Pearl From Avery.

Beautiful build man. That color is stunning. Makes me want to wrap my BRZ just for the hell of it haha. Like you I have white so its a bitch getting things to match up. Won't lie, I drooled over the old wheel setup but I have a thing for shiny wheels. New ones look good too, but something about that last setup with the EGP wrap really just hit the mark. Can understand not wanting to smash everything driving though, thats why I went air lol. Like the low look, hate driving it that way.

636 04-02-2015 04:30 PM

Well here's my first real photo with my new setup, I still need to raise the rear a little to take some camber out, but for now I'm happy with it. New photos coming this weekend too.

What does your car look like with the doors/hood open? How far back does the vinyl go?

I didn't choose to do door jams, so once you open my door, it's white. As well as the engine bay, once the hood's open, it's white.

Persoankly, I like it. The green and white contrast each other nicely.

636 04-04-2015 06:55 PM

Here's some updated pictures of my current setup! Shot some yesterday.

I like the green and white combo (from the one pic)

Please can you post more with your doors and hood open?

Excellent car man. Well done. :wub:

So I've been out of the car game for quite some time now. I bought another motorcycle, so I've been all over that for now.

But, my buddy is going turbo soon, so he took off his V2 Borla UEL Catless header, and I bought it from him.

My car sounds absolutely insane now, and I love it. Here's a video!

Put new wheels on, got tired of rolling around on stockies. Oh and don't mind the wrap, lol. Also gonna buy some Swift springs so I can get the fronts lower.

Just a quick shot my buddy took before we went to a local meet.

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/295/2...ffdd3c9a_h.jpg

Rampage 08-10-2015 01:41 AM

Where the hell are the local meets? I drove up and went to the Art Market location and there were like 25-30 cars there. Most were Mustangs. By 9:30 almost everyone was gone. I know some rolled to the JAX Beach Sonic but I had a long drive ahead so I did not make the run over there.

I like the car in white but I have to admit that it looked awesome in Emerald Green.

We used to go to Riverside, but it's been dying recently, as everyone has been going to Sonic on Beach Boulevard!

636 11-07-2015 02:02 AM

Well, I've been gone for quite a bit, but I come back with great changes!

Through a sponsorship with INGS+1, ORAFOL, Paint is Dead, and Identity Design FL, my car has taken an entirely different turn.

Here's a quick teaser of how she's looking. Still got some more work that needs to be done..but just wait! Real pictures coming sometime next week! Stay tuned!

itsAlex 02-12-2016 07:29 PM

what's so ironic is that I know someone else who went from an emerald green wrap to a red-ish wrap just like you! He drives a G37 ipl
