Huddleston's Build Thread

[Huddleston]

I honestly haven't driven it much - trying to get the springs on! hopefully I will be able to get everything done and get you guys some good feedback.

How much did it cost to fill in the holes and repaint?

 

[Huddleston]

I paid $600. The guy has done work for me previously and he is the best in my area. It honestly looks like they were never there. Very pleased.

 

[Huddleston]

Rotors are in!

They look good, but they'll definitely look better on the car. I look forward to those pics.

the springs are being a PITA, this car is very well engineered for sure. functional brake ducts are very cool though. I am making progress! should have everything installed tomorrow except the GTR hood vents.

 

[Huddleston]

Springs on. Ride quality is excellent, near stock and the drop was precisely as advertised. I will post an in depth account of the nightmare of installing them. I'll post a picture of the lowered car with all the parts installed tomorrow morning.

 

[Huddleston]

Finally some pictures after installation.

Very Sweet!

Great thread! Will the hood vents be functional?

they will help extract heat from the engine, that's about all.

How flush are your wheels with the fender? I'm trying to figure out how aggressive I can go with wheels. You got 20X10.5 +45 and I'm looking at getting something 20X10.5 +25. I just want to see how much room I have.

At +25, its going to stick out. A lot. Did a fit with that offset and it looked like a jeep wrangler. I had given huddleston these offsets and specs. Its pretty flush with the fenders.

What is the most aggressive offset you think I could go with just slight poke and stretched tires?

I don't want to provide any incorrect info. Would suggest going to a wheel shop with this info and go from there. Some places around my area will test some wheels if they have the size and specs your interested in.

It depends on whether you are lowered. I do not know the difference in clearance between the G1/2 and the G3, but I currently am running 10.5 +25 in the rear of my 2011. It looks perfect to me, but I am on coils. Check out my Garage for pics.

You'll have to PM Kevin at KDMholic to get more info on the springs.

Okay guys, the car is essentially done with the exception of the GTR hood vents and the electronic cut outs. The GTR hood vents should be going in later this week and then we'll have a nice photo and video shoot.

I'm looking forward to the photos!
