No issues driving around town so far now at full lock with the 1.4" drop and -2.5 rear camber/-1.9 front camber. I have yet to drive it spiritedly on backroads.

Interior shots looking out from driver's point of view would be awesome. Thanks! Keep up the build!

Lol I have more cell phone pics I'll post shortly but here's the view out the rear.

Dem louvers..

Saw this car awhile ago, would be awesome to see it again.

Was leaning towards getting LR but damn, WRB is tempting.

Some pics from similar angles as ones I posted before but earlier in the day w/ the sun is positioned differently. Nicer pics to come whenever I can schedule w/ my friend who is into photography.

SuperDave · 03-11-2014, 09:32 AM

were the louvers a difficult install? also, our cars are gonna look pretty similar if i get the wheels and louvers but damn, your car is so sexy! i was gonna get the sti aero parts, but i might just save for a supercharger.

chanomatik · 03-11-2014, 12:43 PM

Okay that view isn't bad at all! Thanks for the pics. I'm surprised you're not more into photography yourself. With my busy schedule it makes more sense for me to be my own photographer. Seems like you'd be the same way.

Louvers weren't difficult. I started with the included templates that line up to the window edges but that the holes didn't line up exactly on all so I only aligned the bottom 2 brackets with 2 templates and marked the other 6 holes on the window to place the remaining brackets.

My Nikon D50 broke and I hardly shoot enough/don't like like carrying one around to justify getting another DSLR. My cell phone does the job. Not great but good enough for what's necessary.

That's sad, but I understand.

What's the weight of the wheels and tires?

On an analog scale they were about 39 lbs (under 16 for wheels and 23 for tires).

chanomatik · 03-11-2014, 01:15 PM

OMG YES! My BBS are 20.5 lbs and I'm looking at getting Continental ExtremeContact DW tires that weigh 21 lbs, so it looks like I'll be coming in at .10 lbs heavier each wheel over stock. I think weight is definitely a serious consideration when dealing with these cars. I like to drive fast and I can surely feel the drag from having heavier, wider wheels. It's such a hard balance to find an attractive design, attractive price, attractive size and attractive weight with wheels.

Was any drilling required for your sideskirts?

It requires one hole to be drilled in the front fender liner area. Otherwise the rest bolts in locations that don't need additional drilling and adhesive

That last picture looks almost like the louvers are color matched.
