Great looking setup. Can you confirm that the offset on your wheels is +25et and not the +35et as you seem to have a fair amount of tuck in the rear.

I'm not sure how the material compared to those eBay items. I had the opportunity to compare my ht auto from koruworks vs the bayson r kits ... Ht auto is definately has a thicker material, hence the less wavy on the sideskirts .

Thanks for the kind words.

Our products are made of polyurethane, so it is much more flexible and way less brittle than fiberglass or FRP. In addition, our products are made in the UK by HT Autos as opposed to being produced in China.

Thanks!

Got em mounted Asphalt and gold turned out to look so much better than I imagined. There were 5 guys at discount tire working on it lol. Once they opened the boxes they were excited to get the wheels on. Afterwards we talked for a little bit about the car.

this looks very nice as well. have any issues with rubbing? that's about as big as you can go on the front without having to use a spacer right?

zero rubbing! You can go 9.75 wide but you'll need to camber the hell out of it to make it fit
