Easy enough to set the camber. Just jam it all the way in to get the -1.5.

black window trim would look great i agree. i did it on my old maxima, it took less than an hour with 3M window trim blackout tape and it worked/looked amazing

This. I would do plasti first though. I bet a lot of those curves would be tricky with vinyl.

The trim is thin enough to when working with the vinyl, the material could stretch easily around the curves on the top window trim sections. I would do 4, 1-2inch wide strips.

So i pulled the fender well clips at the top of the fender on each side, no more tire rubbing, still probably going to install the camber kit but less of a rush to do it at this point

You're rubbing a bit? Just the front or both F & R?

Whats your alignment currently? And what size tires are you running?

I could make a road trip and bring my fender roller. I can also bring my grinder and we can shave those rears a bit. Trust me, I've done this once before, hahahahah.
