35s are rough on the arse, i dont care who u are. Prob not SO bad in FL, but im sure there are more than enough potholes and ish there to deal with. Not to mention at that profile, you are sacrificing a lot of deep water performance in FL....i rarely hydroplained here but when i did, no fun.

did it on my 18s, will never do anything lower than a 45 again...and if i cant fit, i will modify fenders till i can.

lesson learned.

Yeah funny you mention that I was considering that today when I hit some standing water I am running 16"s with 205 50-16 up front and 205 55-16 in the rear so its not bad now.

Well I am picking up five spoke SVT rims tomorrow and went today on my lunch break to get price quotes on the paint job and um yeah wow lol it was pricey I am really on the fence now. The quote was a lot more than I excpected. ugh!

Could you get a decent day picture with the new SVT wheels? I'm wanting to do some tinkering in photoshop if you don't mind.

Paint is an expensive ordeal. From my past experience before I took stuff to get painted I'd prep it and get it as ready as I could to try to keep my costs low.

I'm really disappointed with how it turned out, but here it is

The only thing I like is the grass and the concrete. But it was an entertaining time tinkering around with it.

Ok I opted to painting just the roof for now and tail black of course which for the time being I am gonna do myself, however next year the whole car will be repainted liquid grey with a clearcoat and the roof redone in black again also. Thats gonna cost a good chunck of change so I am going to wait till I can knock all the paint work out at once as their are several spots that need touch up. I did order my carbon fiber aviator hood stripes and also carbon fiber exterior b pillar pieces which I should have on by the end of the week.
