Nice view...
Are you happy with the size of the rear tires? To you have a side shot where I could see how well they fill the wheel well ? Are they 17" rims ? By what ?

Here's my set-up

Rims are American Racing Torq-Thrust
ARE-105MS7865B
ARE-105MS8965B

Dr Diff 1" relocation kit gives me about 1" clearance from tire to leaf spring on each side.

17x8 (4.5" BS) up frt - 17/225/50 (25.9")
18x9 (6" BS) in rear - 18/275/40 (26.7")

I looked at the 285's for the rear but it was almost $100 more per tire. I stayed with common sizes to keep the cost down.

Hi Katfish - great ride. It looks awesome.

Since you posted those pics of you carbon interior I've decided that the direction I'm gong to take. Can you tell me a couple of things...

What type of carbon wrap did you use? I got some parts done by a sign shop for a past car of mine and I wasn't happy with the durability of the material. It looked great but scratched way too easy.

Another thing, how did you warp the dash bezel. Did you overlay onto the original bezel or is there someone offering a new carbon bezel? Did you have to pull the whole cluster out to do it?

Any tips I'd appreciate.

I used DMT overlays for my door panel inserts and console plate.  Jim is a GREAT guy and ALL his stuff is THE best.
