If I manage to break these things......I would actually be so impressed I wouldn't even be mad haha
did you radius the rear overfenders?! the rear looks rad.
we seriously need to get shine to start making BN/super aggressive ****.

man, when that car hits the track... you better have someone taking pics. once its painted, its litterally going to be the best US FC i think...

lol its probably the wrong term, but did you cut the fiberglass fender "up" higher. it looks like you either mounted it trying to squish it to make it wider/more bubbly looking, or did you cut the wheel well higher to go lower. it just looks like the radius of the fender/wheel well is more oblong now.

i was trying to do that with my shine overs but i just mounted the bottom and had my friends push on the top downward to make it look wider when i screwed in the top.

When you say radius the rear fenders what do you mean?
most aggressive=best

real talk.

It's definitely intimidating. Even unpainted. The way the fitment and aero work together is boss. People are going to get in accidents staring at this thing on the road!
Jebus, you have a single turbo inline six under your hood. So if your car ever gets to the point where it "looks" like ****, all you have to do is give a 5k rev and listen to the spool down/flutter.

I know I've asked before, just because I'm curious, and I've seen you post stuff about doing pro-am. You live in FL?

i swear we need to make a thread for our shop spaces. some will blow minds on the crazy **** that comes out of some work areas....

before i got with area77 and was able to use their shop, i was swapping tranny's infront of my apt with no jackstands, just sitting on wheels under the wheels.... lol sketchy as helll. but lately alot of people have been making some pretty rad/inspiring work spaces to build cars. it may be beneficial to us all to see some little insights as to what we all use to get the job done. sounds too time consuming though....

I can get em at the dollar store within walking distance of my house. I'm just lame. Why do you think it takes me so long to do **** to my car. I hate doing it and i hate spending money on it. Lol. I'll get it fixed soon. I really dont have a choice BUT to slide in the rain until i get drift spares. I did a nice feint in the work parkinglot last night. **** was bad ***. My boss said "does it get up and go".

"stay about 3 cars back and watch me leave the parkinglot"

Zing. Very snappy with the sway. I have alot more rear grip so I have to react faster and throw the **** out of the wheel. It was fun though. I let him pull up next to me and he's like "oh, so that's where you get your forklift driving habbits from"

Lol.

You have plenty of clearance. Tip, you can flex your fronts out for more clearance vs pulling them. The two bolts on the bottom near the door. Those are the secret. You can bow the fenders out about an inch if you do it right. A very nice and understanding individual disclosed that with some pretty awesome fitment up front on stock metal with knuckles. i think it was 18x10 -7? You're nowhere near that aggressive (car looks good, i'm not talking ****) but if you find yourself rubbing the fender try that.

Yeah. I said "purple vinyl" but **** that noise. I saw it wet and fell in love. CJ made me have faith in 17's when his car had bn and was grey. It worked out ok i think.

Thank you for the words. Your car has come a long way too.

ah alright i see what you saying. ill give that a try after i lower front a little more. i have toe links up front for that angle i think your method will work out nice for that.
