and with the addition of the spacers the wheels stick out just about 3 inches all around... looking very messycan i must say.. hey i am so its ok right?
Along with wheels i was looking at kits and decided on a vertex kit. Called vertex and 3 months is what they told me... burn! I am impatient and did some more searching and found that vis made a replica kit instock. ahhh trust me i really wanted the authentic kit, but i knew that i may have to cut the kit and adjust it for the wider fitment so i said screw it and purchased it. Not much cheaper than vertex at about $1100 shipped

Almost there, there are some minor little pits that i need to fix along with one more block of the car and its paint time, the qtr panels and front fenders have about a 3 inch flare and my goal was for it to look as stock/ factory as possible and not like a crazy wide body, i'm not sure if its just me since i am used to seeing my car this way but i am pretty proud of the outcome. I have clocked about easily about 140 hrs in the body work, flaring, and welding process. Its been a tough road but i wouldn't have it any other way.
The final stages of blocking is set, Also decided to go for a molded rear lip, the double sided tape was not holding the lip on the rear bumper as tight as i wanted and kept sagging with the heat. Fitted the new jdm black chrome grill, it fits like a glove.... almost ready for paint.

Here is shot of the rear with my stock wheels to see how much pull on the rear quarter panel there actually is.

So in between drinking a large amounts of alcohol i actually got some work done.
Wetsanding,buffing and a last minute decision to smoke my taillights took most of my time and here are the results.When i get my wheels in i will tune the suspension just how i want and have some final shots, but this will do for now. Thanks for the feedback.

Good luck.
