Pilot hole in all corners. I used a Jigsaw, I dont recommend it.

A few horrible pics from last weekend, Im not happy with any of them, Between a horribly dirty filter and just lack of patience in the cold... However They are with the new rig so here they are:

You need to either drive slower or brace your rig better (or reduce your shutter speed). You're still getting a lot of shudder/blur on surfaces that should be crisp and clear.

I was not driving for any of them. They were all done Ignition off with a roll. Smooth pavement. I think you mean increase shutter speed, If I reduce it any more it will only get worse.

However I did work on a suspension re-enforcement and picked up a pair of Superclamps that should solve some weak spots, Ill try it out on the S this weekend.

You can see the suspension setup here:

Yeah, sorry - decrease shutter TIME is what I meant (ie, increase shutter speed).

Good luck!

Hmm...not too bad...don't mind the color combo at all...but is it just me or do others think 19s are too big without a full body kit?

Also, the weather where you live is horrible!!

Yea weather is CRAP

19s are big, After a little more slam in the future, a nice lip, and side and rear diffusers I think it will fill out nicely.
