So, a bit of an update;

Modified the front grille, painted the horns;




Got the STD coilovers fitted from Mao last week as well as the XXR 527's in Matt Black from Solid Imports.

Very happy with the results and they car looks great. Handling and steering response has also improved a fair bit.

However, the wheels poke a fair bit and under spirited driving, there is still rubbing issues.

I am having the front and rear guards rolled to help solve this and also dialing in some camber to accommodate the offset...

The poke is noticeable, and combined with the new plates REVNURAZR (for shits and giggles) will make the car cop bait.

They will be rolled and aligned next week when I am back to solve this...

anyways; pics; and opinions?

I think to achieve the in-guard look, you will need narrower tyres to achieve the ride, but at the expense of using the correct tyres for the larger wheels.

Hella flush will be achieved but not good for track days.

I hope you enjoy being pulled over for no reason and getting a yellow licky?

Yeah I was told that too,

As It's my daily, and it doesn't see the track on a regular basis, camber and getting them rolled will be my preferred options.

thanks for the coilovers too Mao! great job

nice i got the 35+ on my gc.. kinda wishing i dipped into the 20s now tbh
nah man looks real good! hoping u dont get targeted with those plates...

Yeah, they give the car the aggressive stance I am after,

going to dial in -2.5 on the front and - 2 on the rear and should be sweet

haha cheers, haven't had any problems in the past 5 months...
