Is there anything going on tonight?

Got3n · 01-18-2013, 10:15 PM

Thanks Extreme for the help! Here is the fruits of all my frustration. Dont mind the dirty car, she will be clean tomorrow. Daytime shots before we go on out run in the morning.

Extreme86 · 01-18-2013, 10:32 PM

You're welcome my friend! Those are SWEET wheels-n-tires. I am jealous!!!! (We did a test drive and they ride good, too.)

Nice wheels man. But I must recommend mud flaps... I ended up getting the Rally Armour, because you'll be spitting some debris with those, trust me! I speak from experience!

I happened to detail my tires with a 'gel' substance (don't ask me what it is) but if i put a liiittle too much, it will spread the excess all over... and I happened to notice the splatter pattern on the body (sides) and i noticed some chips around that area. I had installed the stock FRS mud guards, but they do nothing with wider tires.

So, I recommend them... more for functionality than looks...

Be careful w that gel tire dressing cause it can stain the clear. Use a water based dressing. Apply wet wait a couple minutes then wipe remaining residu. As far as mud flaps for the rear you can have custom paint protection film cut to that piece so the rocks don't chip the paint there. I can check tomorrow to see if it's in the system as a pattern for you.

Adams super v.r.t shine is water based and usually lasts wash to wash

Got3n · 01-20-2013, 11:08 AM

So after my abruptly interrupted Twisted Sister run yesterday I have to say I LOVE these tires!!!! cornering is fantastic!!!!!! I was still afraid to push the car hard but man can she turn now. Im actually in love with the gap, now sure I'll lower it yet, I really like the suspension as is, but who knows, we'll see. Sorry I had to bail guys, but i got paged at work a bunch more times on my way back :-(
