Alabaster FIT photoshoot!!!
but still good as is! I like the way it looks on 16's. 17's with low offset is a little harder to pull off slammed in my opinion.. I've definitely been contemplating doing the front bumper "relocator" like you did-- fenders all rolled and pulled but my bumper tabs are getting massacred by rubber haha. I kind of want to keep it plain simple so I've been trying to avoid adding to the exterior look. Again, it seems to work for you though.
Fasho, personally, I wouldn't mind if those rears kind of poked just a smidge more but still good as is!

Nice simple and clean ride! Silver is a great color when it comes to modding, it looks good clean and simple or w/ some loud wheels.
I am not a fan of the drink but those center caps are pretty rad!
I can't decide if I like the oem window visors more or the mugen visors? Initially I prefer the simplicity of the oem but after seeing others members rides I'm super confused haha. Probably will be one of my first mods on my new 13" sport since they are pretty affordable (the oem one atleast, havent checked the pricing for the mugens yet).

im not a big fan of the drink either but i wanted the green tabs As for the window visors I'd say go with the OEM ones. The real mugen ones run about 200 brand new or you could get the reps for about 100 but they are just stick on instead the using the little clips like the OEM ones. i personally love the mugens but not for the price

how's the ride on the D2 coils? my apex coils are maxed and they're fairly comfortable. i had Function&Form coils and they gave me the drop i wanted, but way too stiff for me. looks good though! how did you make the center caps?
The ride isnt that bad. Took me some tweaking with the damping but im happy with them. I originally wanted to go with the F&F but they werent in stock so i went with the D2's. The center caps are really easy. Just cut the can in half. Then just trim as much as needed until they sit how you want.
THANX im not a big fan of the drink either but i wanted the green tabs

Yup I second you on the mugens for 200ish. Thanks for the info. I'll probably just go w/ oem and see if I can ever find some used mugens in the future. I heard people complaining about reps w/o the clips as well so there goes that option.
What % tint is on your ride btw? I think I should've got my ride tinted darker like yours instead of going with 35% all around (light tint import look haha) I wanted to do just the rear 15% but thought it might look a little funny w/ everything else being 35%. Now Im trippin about it being too light from the rear smh maybe i just need a few days to get used to it.

if you want dark 35% wasnt the way to go. Give it time you might end up liking it

Your set up looks really nice. You still run fender liners? I am on buddy clubs dropped a hair below the tire with 1 degree neg camber on OEM 2012 sport rims. I rub the liner on hard hits and full lock. I like the rpf1 in your size but, don't want to do any fender work, increase camber or do anything else other than swap wheels. What size Rpf1 and size tires do you recommend with my current set up? Thanks.
Thanx guys 
love the rpf1s. I'm still running my fender liners. i just trimmed them a little bc of the roll and slight pull. I recently had it aligned and I have 1.5 degree of camber. With the 195/45 tire being stretch I have no rubbing unless I turn sharp or hit a bump that makes the car bounce.
Advancpap I would go with a 16x7. Offset I would get the highest positive they offer. Tires prob a 205/40. That should be good if you don't want to roll or pull the fenders

Hey just wanna ask about tire wear. We have same
Size of wheel and specs. But I'm running 205/40
But I'm my rear. I have tire wear. And I think is bad.
I always notice i have a lot dust in rear. I thought is
Brake but is not. Is tire wear.
