Read through the whole thread, great build Why didn't you end up putting on the downforce fenders?

Thanks, i ended up selling them at the time because i needed to pay the bills and i got a hookup on the fenders new, so i didn't lose any money on the sale. However, now that i have a more aggressive set of wheels, i'm regretting selling the fenders immensely!

If i don't see a used set of authentic ASM fenders go up for sale soon, i will pick up another set of Downforce fronts and do ASM rear over fenders (same fender setup as the blue evasive car these wheels came off of). I recently got an alignment at Evasive and Kel dialed my fronts in at -2.8 (max camber) and -3.4 for the rear. My rear tires will slightly rub at full compression and my fronts clear, but overall i'd like to run less camber anyway, to avoid camber wear. Preferably -2 to -2.5 in the front and -2.5ish in the rear.

Thank you! Yes I still have a special place in my heart for Ti Silver. It is still my favorite finish/color, I just needed to change it up and white was my next favorite color.

I can't complain about the finish though as the gloss white is much easier to clean than the flat anodized TI silver! The flat anodize just holds dirt and doesn't wipe off nearly as easy.

Yes Chris, I'm finding this out slowly and painfully!!! haha! Those white wheels look amazing though for sure! I will be joining you on the widebody soon enough if a STI BRZ doesn't come out soon

Always have loved your conservative but very functional and attractive builds! Keep it up!
