I got the rears and a new (literally almost new condition) 19" Volk gtc's with offsets nearly perfect for the Aimgain fenders. The fronts were ordered 2 weeks ago so it'll be a bit of a wait till I see those and start modding the body. In the meantime I'm trying to decide on doing seibon fenders and trunk (they'll be painted if I do) and I'm decided on kw coils and the complete Figs suspension setup. I've got a friend (who strictly does body work for a living) who will cut and modify the fenders and paint everything so that part I'm not too concerned about. Here's a few teasers:

Nice teaser pics!

Looking forward to seeing your progress with this.

Be good to see how a good body guy gets on with blending the kit properly.

Not a fan of the riveted look either.

Keep us posted fella!

Cheers.

Hope you got the special lug nuts and key with the wheels. I used to have some GT-C long time ago very uncommon wheel don't see them that often.

atleast with the seibon fender it would offset the weight of the over fender likely so the weight shouldn't change much.. Need to get a vacuum bag setup so I can just reproduce with some different touches (1 piece front carbon fender, 2 piece rears not 3 with an actual vent to let that tire smoke out of the well for the drifting guys!) I'm still sitting on about 10 yards of raw material just need a pump and bagging supplies
