I drive my car every day. I have for the last 3 years with my Veilside kit. I love it. I don't think I have excessive fender well gap. I love my car, don't worry about scraping, and do enter it in car shows.

shrug.gif I guess I just don't agree with your post. Do I have too much wheel gap? The tires are hard to see in the pic, but they fill up the gap and are only 205/40/17

Yes you will scrape everything i had a true gtr kit and the only way to keep it off of the pot holes i did air ride... and theres a few other members on here that have done it also... Will keep your kit in good shape but the ride isnt as sporty as having a sport suspension. So that is a rought you can go to have that slammed look and also have functionality

I have a Veilside Kit and although I'm now refiberglassing my front piece (damn deer mad.gif) I only scrape durring serious jolts or speed bumps. I have an Air Strut (not air bags but a fully adjustable strut assy) comming from Airride in a couple of days so I can set a "standard" height etc... and when the need presents itself get a little taller. I'll post some pics when I get it all back togeather. But in reply to the original post DON'T drop you car any!!! My front and sides sit at MAX 3-3.5" and requires some "creative" dirving techniques already.

lol that was my car (the one with just the front/back kit on) lmao.gif and yeah do NOT lower the car hahahahaha i was lmfao reading this thread just to come across my car being used as a visual aid. yeah dude, those are 16" rims, and they help fill in the gap. they dont do much so id go with 17"s or 16s with not so low pros. you realllllly cant lower the suspension once you put that kit on.
