I recommend not doing that maneuver... people will probably key your car.

The reason I was poking and prodding it so much is because I've never had the chance to see a widebody installation before in person.. and being a body guy (though it doesn't show in my own car), I was dying to see how people finished the insides of the fenders. BTW, it looks clean under there. I was just kinda disappointed you didn't change the front suspension geometry. That steering scrub must be a biatch! But it looks PIMP.

Your probably right about that parking maneuver Colin..

I had the under bodykit sprayed down with that rust proofing spray which is a pretty thick substance. Im hoping that will give it added strength; it also gives it a clean finished look.

What do u mean by steering scrub?

The scrub radius is affected by how far from the pivot point of your steering system your tire contacts the road. Ideally, the pivot point should be directly in the center of the wheel. When you space the wheel outward or run very wide wheels, the surface of the tire gets farther from the pivot point and your scrub radius increases. This causes the wheel's range of movement to increase... so it moves farther fore and aft in the wheel well. The torque required to turn the wheels also becomes greater, which places a higher strain on your front-end components.

I think what he meant is that widebodymerk isn't a burnout and the iForges looked nice

I just think it might have been the smoke in his eyes from his uhhh...
