Oooooh... sexy LCI tail lights. The negative camber on your rear wheels looks pretty severe.

P.S. Next time white-balance your camera to fluorescent lighting for better color reproduction (assuming that's what the street lights are emitting).

Yes, the camber is worst than what I want....

Thanks for your advice. And I will try it next time (but probably with different camera, new toy coming )

Looks great! Just curious, but what are the specs of those wheels and what's the offsets on the front and rear?
Ditto that question from C.......specs?

Just got my new 20" DPE GT7 installed. They are much lighter than my previous rims, and I am very happy with them.

Car is dirty...more pics to come tomorrow
So, do you get a new car every freakin' year? Was looking at your "past memories." Must be nice!

Ride is all good, much better than my previous Hartge Replica, due to its lighter weight

They are 20x8 front, 20x9.5 rear. But I am not sure about the offset.

Hey Saridi.....you say the camber is worse than what you want, but is it in spec? My rears "appear" to have too much neg. camber to the eye, but are actually in spec. I have had it aligned 4 times since I bought it and twice since I had my H&R sports and 19" CSL's put on. The rears looked so tilted in that I just didn't believe what I was seeing on paper, so I made the dealer align it again, and it's in spec to my surprise, -2 degrees on both sides.
