Great pics & vids, thanks! Are you using camber plates to get to Fnt -2 degrees? And how did you go about the rear shimming to get to -1.5? Keep it up & I may start tearing the insulation out of my A/X DD.

Haha thanks for viewing!

i use the skunk2 pro c + spc camber bolts to get the -2.0 in the front.
My rear actually is just washers to get those specs lol. I cant wait until an actual metal camber plate becomes available.

Well guys, got some news.

Tomorrow i will be dropping the fit off to be caged by a road racing tuner shop. 6 Point DOM. I plan on ultimately competing, if things go in that direction, for Time Attach/ Time Trials. I'm pretty excited. First caged fit I've seen in America. Stay tuned for updates!

I'm open to interior paint ideas.
So far here are my thoughts:
1. re paint the whole interior oem storm silver metalic including the cage
2. paint the whole interior bronze to match the wheels.

Im open for suggestions...
