Default BFH before and after pix??
tried search, nothing really turned up. anyone have pictures from before and after doing the BFH mod? I'm going down the 17x11 TT2 path for the rear and i'm lowered, ergo, i worry i might have to do this mod and i'd like to have some idea of where i'm going.

I have circled the 3 areas that I had to modify for my 17x11 ZR-1s w/ 315s. The 2 on the left were hammered in and the bump stop was slightly ground down. Most say that grinding down the bump stop mount is unnecessary because the wheel doesn't ride there but my opinion is that there should be nothing that could EVER come in contact with the wheel.
