I've followed your build for a while, I really love the latest wheel setup! Quite a different color combo, but you certainly pull it off!
What kind of alignment specs are you running? I ask, because I am also running a square 9.5 +38 (17") setup. I have a set of ASM style front and rear over fenders, and have been talked out of running them because I'd be too aggressive and would risk damage to them (and also probably because they're replicas... sad face). I do like the look of the stock body with the aggressive setup, but then I see your car, and it makes me want to install them!

thx! go ahead and install them. they're reps so who cares
i am running -3.5 camber all around, max caster, zero toe up front, slight toe in rear.
i only rub at full lock on a uneven surface. i also trimmed the fender liners a bit so they don't fray too much.

forgot to share this candid shot with you guys. this was after the b-day shoot with my friend jznsn2u.
was a pretty rainy day so after the rolling shots we decided to get my03 on the lift and get some photos of my ASM chassis bars. i'll try and get those pics up later.
