Cars looks amazing. This is my look for this summer also but with some Enkei NT03's. Love the engine bay look also. Simple and clean.

There are a few very small chips on the hood and one on the bumper that you can't see unless you're close to the car. Not perfect, but if it was perfect I would probably be scared to actually drive it lol. And yes, the SE lip actually only comes in white from the dealer, no other flavor!

i know i'm somewhat necro-bumping this but i'm looking at a very similar size, for the ce28sl's - 18x9.5 +22 - the fitment from your pics actually look really good. i've got the rear fenders rolled, did you relocate the bumper tab? i'm also looking to do the evo x brakes, curious how difficult the drilling was

Drilling the knuckles is straightforward, just buy a good bit and take your time. Bonus pic of how my car sat:

thanks for the reply - for the Volk CE28N 18x9.5, does the +34 clear the 8/9 brakes? and thus, i'm assuming, would clear the X brakes?

I am not sure. One thing is that the ZE40s did not clear the 8/9 brakes but did clear the X brakes. I think for a concave face CE28 you would probably have a similar experience.

I did not do them myself, but the guy who did just said it took time. You just need to buy a nice drill bit and take your time. As long as you drill the knuckle straight and the right size everything else is straightforward
