Rubbing with Kenstyle kit
Any Kenstyle owners experience rubbing when they they make semi-sharp/sharp turns?
I think it's the front lip, on the inside of the wheel well that is rubbing with the wheels. I'll try to get a picture up soon, but just wondering, any of you guys notice this?

I think it might be running 18's as well. I went out to check today while turning my wheel and it doesn't seem like it's rubbing against the kit. I never noticed it before but I guess I do more because I was more cautious once I got the kit on.
I got my kit done by BTuned in the Spons. Sale section. So $700 installed and painted. It's a replica, not authentic. I'm pretty happy with it. Don't think I would have noticed much of a difference in the replica and authentic except for maybe slightly better fitment. But even the authentic doesn't fit perfectly I hear.

Very nice.. Yah, it is quiet expensive. But you have the grill and the wing. I'm looking to get the wing, but probably get the TRD grill instead.
Nice lookin xA. I gotta put my foglights back in. I had to take them out for the install.
Where'd you get your CF hood from?

You should look into getting the carbon fiber one that autofashion is gonna be selling...they are only selling to ten I hear. I would get that one, but I kinda like having all the original pieces

Yea, I saw the CF Wing group order. I'm looking to get into it but I don't think I'll be here when the order is done and everything. Going home for the summer.
Any close up pictures of the hood? Is it double sided? Any waves in the hood or anything?

Yea, I'm checking out their site right now and it seems like they only have a single sided one. I guess I'd wanna check out the FiberFX one. It's $300 compared to $360.

I was just looking today, and I'm wondering, how do you lift your car now if you need to do work on it? I haven't tried the stock jack, but my current jack won't fit under it anymore. It barely fit when I didn't have the kit on.

^^^ Easiest way would be to use a floor jack. 25 bucks at most auto stores and pays for itself in DIY oil changes 
And even with the floor jack it might be a tight fit with the kit! Try driving up on some wooden planks to lift your car up then.
Itzjere, you got PM :D

Hey Mike,
I replied your PM.
I have a floor jack already, but it was a really tight before the kit. Now with the skirts, I don't think I'll be able to slide it under anymore. I guess I will have to resort to ramps or something.

Yea, I guess I could get a low profile jack.. The stock jack is pretty low. That or I guess I could get ramps or something.
I'll try out the stock one tomorrow. Wondering what other xA kitted owners are doing.
