Its actually the Red Out Mod offered by Chris from republic wraps (umichchris) He takes the tail light apart and mods it from the inside. I'll be cleanin the car up this weekend. I can take some more pics for you if you want.

Definitely would love to see some pics. How much was the service?

looks perfect! How much work was needed to get this set up to fit, other than rolling fenders?

wow, looks sick! good job...

i just bought same style wheels but the esm brand since they have offsets that work with the xi. mine arent as aggressive as yours, i got 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. the recommended tire size for my wheels are 245/35 and 275/30 but i would like a more aggressive look with a little stretch similar to yours. any suggestions on tire size? i was thinking 255/30 rear and 225/30 front.

Not too much really ran through 2 sets of tires for the fronts and had to modify a set of hub rings. A couple tweeks to the suspension to get the perfect height with least amount of rub as possible with me in the car as well as passengers. Also did some shaving to where the quarter panel meets the bumper to stop some serious rubbing. It was frustrating I wont lie but damn well worth it.

225 on a 8.5 is not much of a stretch and honestly depends on the tire. Im totally a newbie to the stretch game but I do know I would bump that front up to a 35series tire 30 is too low of a profile. I think a 255 on a 10 would definitely look nice tho I've seen that on other cars. To get it to look how you want your definitely going to do some trial and error. When I first got these people said they couldnt fit but I made it work. Its a game of minute adjustments. Bigger smaller spacer, more roll, more pull, a little higher a little lower (if on coils) Its a cat and mouse thing.
