Sweet ride there buddy! If I may humbly suggest, adding wheel spacers and lowering 1" would really enhance the appearance.

I know I am in the minority on this but I am not "looking" for that look...I may get some nicer wheels at some point, also my wife does drive this (once in a blue moon) and I do not wish to make the car "more" difficult...i.e lower for her to drive....Hey... I had to buy a Honda Pilot (for the Nanny) just to make this deal fly.....I do not want to "push" it...

I hear ya- so basically you are saying you need a few more months to re-approach the subject of modifiying the pcar and actually be able to get away with it.. LOL

(jk)

Just put on some H&R springs, car won't be much lower just enough to get rind of that extra gap- Still perfectly fine for DD and ride is still cushy. As you can see on mine, it all looks factory but just a bit more integrated / sporty.

If you buy wheels, the fender gap is really going to gnaw at you.. it looks 2x as bad with nice aftermarket wheels. You could buy my 19" Imolas for $500, get some H&R's for $250 on ebay, install/align for $400, and be all set for under $1200. Spacers are not needed with the Imolas, they come out perfectly. how's that?

I just feel that when I do the WHEELS, I want exactly what I am looking for, those IMOLA's are close but not exactly, they are a "smokin" deal however.

As you say I have to ease into this....It doesn't help that the founder of VF Engineering lives 3 doors down, Nick - he would love for me to get that Supercharger, but then again HE KNOWS my wife.

If you told me when I was single that I would have to get consensus on decisions like this, I would have told you you were nuts, but after a few Kids- the "leverage" changes....

Oh man, I bet that is tough because I'm sure you'd get a "good neighbor" deal on that SC!!

Life is about tradeoffs- so yeah you gave up a bit of unilateral desicion making but the tradeoff is you have a family and more to show out of life. ...and you STILL own a pcar overall, can't complain eh?
