yes I take appointments daily.

My fenders arent even rolled perfectly flat just enough to be out of the way. Its hard to get them flat on my car cause the metal is so damn thick.

Its not a big deal anyway since the lexus has officially been given the Daily driver position.

Dude, c’mon…now he’s gonna come back with a huge reply trying to explain himself and say “no, i never said that blah blah blah”  
Again, he doesn’t even have any form of lowering the car, let alone HAVE THE WHEELS YET, and is making claims of fitment :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm:Idiots
