Will, that price you mentioned is pretty cheap.
Maybe a nice mod when I get my GS.

William, as always thanks for helping me.

Globe, damn, you know those wheels even at a crappy angle 19x11 in back?!:eek:

Anyone have a good pic of that wheel on that black GS?


I want to TRY to put 20x9 in front and 20x10 (or) if possible 10.5 in rear. I wouldn't mind some MINOR modification.

Anyone else have any other wheels in mind with a fat lip? Only if the LD1 came with a deeper lip.

Richie,

you are right, the price is not bad for the fender pieces; however, there might be 2 small problems:

1. there was a rumor that imc went out of business.

2. i am not familiar with the shops in europe. some stores here in the US raise the price so high on some jdm items. i understand everyone needs to make $$$, but making 75-100% profit??

D-man,

sure thing, always glad to help out a buddy....for the price, quality, LIP size, look(personal), WORK Equip represents one of the best values.

One thing about the IMC fenders:

Those fenders look real nice. I wanted those. However I've noticed that the IMC fenders are made so that the fender doesn't actually BLEND IN at the edge of the fenders, but actually made so they look like extensions of the bumpers and side skirts. I don't know how that'll look on a GS with no kit or on any kit other than IMC. that could be a PROBLEM too.

Having to see Seung's car IMC kit in person, it is exactly like what Globe says, the fender matches up to the side skirt. I am sure with a decent body works and some molding, it will look tight, but the cost would run way up tho...
