Sorry the pic opportunities/angles are limited until taken out of winter storage. Here's a couple more crappy up close wheel shots. Car sits about .5'' lower once driven, these pics are taken fresh of the jack stands

That looks amazing, must have been quite some calculating to squeeze those fronts under the fender ... don't forget to post some more pictures if spring arrives.
How did you lower the car?
Can't wait to take some good pics! It def took some measuring, fender rolling/cutting/banging, and a bit of trial and error tire size wise. Surprisingly more trouble fitting the rears and working out scraping issues. The fronts are 19x9.5 wrapped in 255/40 and the rears are 19x10.5 dressed in 285/35.
Can't wait to see the kit on your car Eric! I'm going for a trans am racer/pro-touring look this week
What did you do for the front air dam? Looks sharp.
Also, regarding wheel fitment...you can fit wheels much easier up front than in back. I tolled my front fenders and was able to get a 20x10 easily and use spacers to push them out more flush. Rears 20x10 with spacers as well. At first there was an issue with hitting the inner wheel well. Bah. And this is with my tucking almost complete tire front and rear.
After being in contact with a bunch of muscle car trans am style spoiler producers, the two cars that have the same under bumper dimensions as an x308 that potentially match up are a 67-68 Camaro and a 70 Mustang (mach 1). The one posted is from a 67 Camaro, basically because it was the cheapest "prototype" to test, but you can order it in carbon fiber if you wanted to. Unfortunately you do have to drill 6 underbumper holes and bolt it to the car, its very sturdy and i'm adding splitter rods (pics later this week) as well for strength and that trans am/protouring/boy racer look. I was able to use 3 of the existing factory camaro spoiler holes for mounting and had to drill an additional 3 holes, mounting it with 1"x5/8 bolts/nuts/washers. I would like to try the 70 Mach 1 lip at some point, but it is only available in fiberglass where as the Camaro lip used is clearly plastic which doesn't need to be painted or touched up for stone chips daily
Hopefully no offense was taken, because there was no intent to offend, just that I have seen quite a few convincing photoshop images, and why not? It is a cheap/easy/fun way to try out ideas without irreversible mods to the car!
