Kills me to see your car under the knife, but I know the end
result will be really unique. Maybe you should pickup that
wild set of work rezax's that have been on ebay. They are
priced well and might work with your setup -

Seems like you like 'em a little bigger tho.

Heh. Good Luck and keep postin.

you should have at least filled in the front bumper slits where the orange reflectors go, that would be hot

Seeing how some body kits require a ton of work to get them to fit right, going this route isn't a bad idea. I bet it will look great when it's done.

Looking forward to seeing pictures, but I can't believe you are leaving those wheels on the car while the shop is doing the work. Throw the stockers on there or something and don't risk damaging those wheels.

I agree about the duct tape comment...I hope it goes well, but if you insist on leaving those wheels on during the build then I would suggest using painter's tape or something to that effect. The adhesive on duct tape can be a messy disaster.
