very nice, can't wait to see the parts installed, I just did the front bumper & lip on my car. The only thing about yellow that sucks is they went from Spa to Rio so it needs to be painted I'm so jealous of all the other colors who can just pop them on and go...

What kind of wheels did you order? Those tires are fairly skinny (especially the rears).

Just curious, why do you want a "slight stretch"? The tires are much smaller than stock. I don't understand why you would purposely want that.

Bc that's the look that I want. Those wheels tires aren't gonna be used for anything but dd. I'll be using my stocks foe autox and any other kind of aggressive driving.

I realize that tire stretching is a love hate relationship between people, so I understand that some people aren't gonnanlike nor agree with it. I used to not like and still not a fan of the huge stretch where there is like 1-2" of wheel sticking out. I understand that I will be loosing some handling on the car due to lower amount of tire contact and I'm ok with that because I know I'm not going to be racing the car through canyons. So, I know some people are gonna are it and that's you right to voice that opinion.

Anyways, thanks for checking out my thread. LOTS of parts coming in today.
