Long day...
Went to go get the wheels mounted and came home 2 wheels short. The tire shop fought the stiff sidewalls and low profile on the Pilot Sport Cups until they ended up bursting during inflation.
So no rear wheels until maybe Wednesday when new ones arrive from Michelin. The shop did discount me the delay and of course the replacements were no charge to me.
Fender liner extensions did go on smoothly and the front wheels are on the car. Splash guards and rear wheels will go on next week...

That sux Maxx,sorry to here about your probs. On another note,with those roads on your side of town,your going to rip those liner extensions right out. Ask me how I know,you're going to have to be more careful now with those 20's. I've gone through two liners,now I've left them off.When I went to your house and got lost on that back street,it almost killed my baby. Look forward to seeing the final results. L8R ZFLASH

Picked up the wheels this afternoon and got right to getting them on the car. I still need to add the C6Z splash guards to complete the look. Here's a few shots from an iphone camera.
After the suspension settled somewhat:

The front is sitting maybe a 1/8-1/4 inch higher than the rear now. Contemplating picking up the rear end a bit or leaving it as is until some coilovers can be added to adjust to a perfect stance.
