^^ Probably 'grass is greener on the other side thinking' but now that I'm in Hong Kong, I always dream about buying an american car.

Spotted by a friend.

^Clean Car.

This was taken shortly after waxed and polished a week ago, dust has started building up already… keeping black cars look good...

Yup, it was too good of a deal to pass up. The finish isnt my first choice, but I'll eventually get them refinished to formula silver or pressed graphite.

Yea, specs wise its not the most aggressive set around but it works for the wifes car. Its not super flush but still better than stock and no need to roll the fenders.

Looks great!

I ended up using 10mm spacers all around, so +33 final offset and didn't rub with a gen 2 at 1.3mm drop. I think your wife's gen 3 has even a bit more room.

I was looking at it last night and thought 15mm front and 10mm rear, but she likes it as is right now. So I don't want to push the boundaries haha.

Yo dawg, lets meet up sometime for Revscene meet... when the crowds are much bigger and more selection of people to run over.

And good news is we don't have to wash our cars, its already red.

Sounds good! But...can we enslave anybody to wash our black wheels? The brake dust is murder.

Downside of race red...driving it eastbound this morning at 7:30 AM when the sun was at eye level...it reflects off the hood and into your eyes and is so fucking bright.

I think the new Mustang crew is the single biggest rep of a new car model of active revscene users now...
