i'm not going to harp on the uneccessary actions taken by the few immature members or soon to be exmembers in this forum(it's just not worth it)..thanx to the moderators for performing their duties and staying on top of the filthy remarks made by some. Emerald, i'm very pleased to see you've returned amongst us common folk' healthy and in better spirits ... we are sooooo not worth! (j/k). as i've said before, nuff respect is due. All of the hard work that was applied to this project -the blood, sweat, and tears involved in this personal masterpiece is surely recognized and greatly respected. (whether liked or disliked) ...keep executing those brilliant custom applications i LOVE to see so much.

To be honest, I like the flared out rear fender look the way she has it. In my opinion, it makes the car look really aggressive and different. It is true, to have your car in 2 magazines has to mean something. I take my hat off to Ms. Emerald because it is rare you see people do their own work and what makes her so unique besides her style is that, she is female. It is rare you see a female do things on the level that she has. I am not being a kiss a$@ but just giving her the props she deserves. I wish she could help me with my car.

If the wheels were meant to show off a sponsor's wheels (such as Axis) I would venture to guess they would want wheels that don't look out of place on the car. I know they make the wheels you have on your car in wider widths and lower offsets. Although I doubt they make something wide enough or low enough offset to make them look perfect with as much as the fenders are pulled/flared. It would centinally help a lot.
Hopefully this post isn't considered responding to every little point, because I was really curious as to why the fenders were modified as they are.

You act as if she's OBLIGATED to explain her reasons specifically to you. Who are you? The wheel offset post regulator?

Emerald by the way, since you have rims piled up to the ceiling, I really wouldn’t mind taking a set off your hands, or anything else you might have layin around

Like anyone else with common sense in here-why do you care why she pulled her fenders? is pretty ovious why- but thats not the point- the point is if she wanted to tell you she would have- but im sure i speak for 90% of the owners in here when i say awesome job on the 400- alot of blood sweat and tears in that im sure- Gj Emerald- that car is gorgeous- keep up the good work-and i cant wait to see the 300- peace

Congrats on the mag exposure. I'm sure the mag guys are kinda pissy about running the same car same month. I like what you did with the carbon fiber. I like the fact that you build a lot of the stuff yourself. Not because your a girl but because you know how. There's a lot of guys on here that can't do that stuff but would love to learn. Congrats again.

Just like to say... was pretty obvious why the fenders were pulled.. whoever it was who couldn't figure it out was obviously a troll or just plain dumb. Considering the number of posts here and how often Emerald gets attacked, seems some guys have a hard time accepting women in their ranks, and/or transcending them.
Emerald: Looks good.. wish I had your ca$h. with your ca$h I'd then want your time & sight.
Looks great.. I showed a co-worker, saying, "same model as my car".. and he didn't believe me. Nice job.

emerald, I know the subject of your fenders/wheel fitment has been beat to death, but as a fan of wide fendered soarer/sc's I'm just curious what size wheels/offset your fenders were made to fit ?(if you don't mind me asking?) From the looks of them, it looks like a 10J +15/+20-ish should fit in there pretty well...though with 19's more like +20. The car looks really clean though, I really like the carbon trunk... Gosh what i would give for a nice carbon trunk!!!! Any chance I could talk you into making a carbon fiber trunk for me? (Hey it was worth a try ) Well I hope you enjoy building up your Supra as much as you enjoyed building up the SC.
