Absolutely amazing build. The only thing I would do different is change your fogs to cool white, if you haven't done so already. That yellow doesn't match.

Eh, that is kind of my trade mark. Every one of my vehicles have had 6k headlights with 3k fogs. makes a perfect white light at night, and makes the vehicles unique. I may change it though.

Photoshoot tomorrow at 7am!

Looks good, not a fan of the wheels though... Everything else is sweet

What advice can u give for installing the 120 series Aerolatches?
Thanks,
Really like the build and pro pictures.

I love your hood. I've been tempted to do that, but it wouldn't look nearly as good on a DGM car.

Thanks. I had my body shop do it. He said it was one of the easiest installs he ever did. Gave him 0 problems.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm what's up with your top hats, they look like they're installed wrong. The camber adjustment really isn't doing much for camber? Unless I missed something about why they might be installed this way, I looked back through this page...?

Not the first time I have seen that on this site. They are definitely installed incorrectly.

Actually, they are installed correctly. The strut and top hat can be installed in any position to make the alignment correct while placing the least amount of load on the strut.

[VacantSky]

I'm not saying it can't be aligned. I'm getting at the adjustment on the top hat, it's not useable for it's intended use (camber) in your configuration

Someone tagged me and then untagged me....

The camber plates can be installed at any angle, but you're not really using them for their purpose if they're not "horizontal", and camber/caster are simultaneously adjusted.

It was me. Someone complained and got my posts removed.
