Speak for yourself. I am only somewhat laid.
Looking great, but I agree, needs lowered. Figure out where it's rubbing. It's probably either the fender lip or the rear bumper mounting screw. You won't need spacers because the only thing to the inside to rub on is the strut or the spring perch and that wouldn't be effected by weight in the car.

My third brake light isn't tinted as of yet, I wanted to take the spoiler off and tint it so I could polish it, but I may try it tomorrow after the air show.

I also agree that it needs to be lowered, and its rubbing on the back somewhere up around the strut, cause there is no wear on the outside of the tire. I had two of my...well heavier set friends sit in the back to see where it rubs, and when I stick my hand back there, its right against the strut mount, area. Horrible description of that.. laugh.gif. I'll take the tire off tomorrow and snap a picture.
The interior of my car has all the things done you mentioned, I also have an aftermarket Alpine deck, two 12" kicker comp subs, an Alpine amp, fully painted interior except for the dash as of now. I also put powered door locks and a Viper alarm/remote start system in it, which may be my favorite part so far. As for under the hood, I just have an intake which, as weird as it sounds is almost perfect for what I want my car to sound like.

Yeah, you'll have to get a picture. lol. It'll be very tight against the strut and the spring perch, but those don't move in relation to one another so it won't rub with weight on it if it doesn't without. My rubbing didn't mark the tires but it was the fender lip and rear bumper mounting screw head with my old 215/35/18 tires on 7.5" rims.
