It's looking good but IMO to hard to judge without some decent pics.
Picture 4 looks like your really flush but pics 2 and 3 looks like you tucking a bit.
Keep us updated with pics though

10 out of 10 for effort, but just doesnt gel well enough for me.
maybe its the design of the alloys.
i am a fan of the US Hellaflush scene.
Considered doing it to mine a million times, but i like driving my car on track etc, and i am a JDM snob, so a set of ballin' JDM rims in a wide enough size would cost the earth! lol.
Good to see a few UK guys takin a leaf out of the US scene tho, its god damn boring seeing the same looking Impreza's all the time!!!

Yeah, it's not quite there yet, but that was the product of 9 hours work and I was a little fed up at that point.
Front needs a little more camber and a little lower, and the rear a little less camber I reckon.
Have fun guys

^^^ Pete's car can warrant being sat at that height with it being pretty much a track car with the luxuries.
If Pete is on track with the Grids I think it'll be the first time with them on. Like he said we shall see.
And tuck is the last thing he needs. Poke is where it's at.

you know what i mean tho, hella flush stylie.
As with it sat like that, it just looks like someone has put the wrong wheels on it.
Each to thier own and all, but i think you need to chose hellaflush or hellafunctional!

I was going more for its Japaneseyness than anything ;]
Cheers
It's a sport, so it doesn't go fast in a straight line, and the tyres scrub on the arches, so it doesn't go fast round corners either ;]
You could have been insuring this, but you never replied to either my 2-3 voicemails or my email.

Love the stance and the dish on the wheels. But the wheel design is horrid and doesnt suit the car and id deffo lose the flaps. Rally cars run flaps, youre not rollin the rally look so id lose em.
The dish looks awesome but the centres arnt working for me. Sorry.

Looking good bud, have to agree with some of the above.
Love the dish of the rims, but how about changing colour of the centres?
a quick 'chop
I've got flaps on my scoob, and I am 110% DEFO not a Rally car look, soo dated and played out that look, IMO!! just take the sticker off ;0)
Get some colour onto it for abit of JDM streetracer look :0)
Nice to see another scoob not in the run of the mill look!!

Ironically, that's the only one I put the sticker on, and it's the only one I've ever caught on a kerb and scraped most of it off (maybe it was a sign to remove the sticker...)
I do like the colouring idea Rice (not sure about the purple though (unless that's just my eyes)) my thinking was though that the towing eye, carbon fibre and centres all match (ish). All 4 do need refurbing though as I'm terrible at kerbing them :[
So would I sometimes, but I spend 90% of the time either trundling around towns or parked up at shows, and neither of which would benefit from lots of power ;]

I just did purple for quickness, what about a 'cream' colour? or pale blue? I would still keep the rims a 2 colour, polished lip or coloured with a coloured centre.
