Looking good Johnnyboy!

Your car inspired me for the whole flushness appeal!

I need to go out more upfront with my next set... Give me 6 months

TE's are a classic look, isn't this your 4th set already? they look awesome on your car, I want your wheels if you ever sell them.

Lol, so I finally modified that tab so I don't have to worry about it. It was cutting up my tires like crazy on those driveways

Hammer the tab up

drill a hole towards the inner part of the fender

drill a hole In the bumper support so that screw can reach the newly drilled hole in fender
or
ziptie original hole of bumper support to newly drilled hole in the fender tab

everything is self explanatory after you look at it

thanks Calvin for the info!!
