Good lord Roo!, talk about a crazy fender pull. I'm really glad you said you're gettin them molded because it doesn't look right sticking out like that. But I'm lovin that offset and strech on those tires. It'll look great when you drop her down on the ground. The project is comin along nicely. Congrats.

Very nice! Now all you need is some major dumpage. Can't wait to see the finished product.

just needs to be dropped, the wheels will camber slightly and fit right in there.

$40, I think they normally charge more but I told em, screw the paint and do what you need to do.

it's hard to tell with the paint shipped, I'm gonna sand it down, primer it in black and then clean it up from there as needed.

Fender pulling is easy, it just takes time and patience, i didnt use a heat gun so my paint is kinda messed up but i am planning to repaint the car anyway.

Roo, car looks good, now lower that b2tch.
