Looks hot as hell for sure. Nice!
As most people said the car definitely feels planted for sure. Handling aspects turn in speed is improved probably cause of the wider tires but my acceleration somewhat suffered from the 275s in the rear plus the 30mm spacers and the lack of power we have

As somebody above mentioned, do you have a side view of the car? I'm interested to see how the spoiler 'flows' with the RB diffuser as I have the RB diffuser on my car and am looking for a different, maybe more flamboyant look for the car. Thanks.
I have definitely been considering going different colored rivets! and I do have some side profile pictures from the EAF show this past weekend below. I really think the trunk flows perfectly with the body of the car.

Car looks so sik. I'd say a bit lower though and you're even better.

Why the 30mm spacers though? Why not order wheels that fit? I guess they're more versatile or easier to find without the spacer but just seems like a pretty huge spacer.

im going to lower it a bit more in the front and maybe just a little in the rear but I am trying to build more of a track build so I dont have any intentions on lowering it completely.

For the spacers I needed something big enough to clear my spacers and there are not many options for us to choose from in 5x100. I am running 5x114.3 PCD bolt pattern wheels at the moment so I needed the conversion spacers to fit and make it flush Im going to run no spacers in the future!
