I need to button up a few things then hoping to get it into paint by the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

Lowered the car with the 17x10's on the front. It is real close. I need to raise it up just a hair and probably run more camber in front.

Look at the GT motoring offset bushings for the front upper arms. Unlike most camber joints that push the bottom out these pull the top in and should get you a little clearance. It's what I'd run if I had questionable fitment up front.

Splitters aren't function until they stick out 4'.

Where can I put down a deposit for a splitter like that?

I would market those as curb alerters.
