Heres a small update. Wanted to take more I was just in a hurry so I clicked and ran. I dont know body shop terms but tomorrow they smooth out the rear fenders with body filler and start sanding it all down..Oh along with adding another layer of fiber glass to my POS spoiler..the base as buckling all over it since the fitment was total *** pie...I wont even get started on the rear bumper but youll notice its not on.
I should have just trashed what I baught and gotten authentic but instead the body shop went ahead and cut the stock bumper and molded the bottom half of the aftermarket one onto it. They still need to compound it and smooth it...
The volks are now clean heh^^

Oh and Im only going 295 in the rear since my rear offset is -2 with -2 degrees of camber. I know some of you guys are gonna hate me since I could go bigger BUT...I know I could go to -3.5 camber and fit 315s in the back but this is my DD and it likes to rain a lot in FL...I dont want to go anymore negative with my camber for safety purposes.

I completely forgot the guys at the shop had to reshape the rear fenders to keep that body line in it. I found this out today when I stopped by and took some pics. Im an artist and have worked with clay my whole life but Im still amazed at how great the guys at the shop are molding the fenders to perfection..Though not done yet I can see the end result..oh man it cant happen fast enough 
..cant rush the greatness to come though hehe.
Keep in mind in each of these pics they have not finished the process of shaping the fenders.

Heres the body line of the car after they finished extending and molding the fender as well as no more antenna.(drivers side)
Heres the spoiler attached. As I stated before the fitment of the spoiler left gaps all over the place so they ended up molding it to the car, essentially its there forever(Which Iam more then happy to have).As well as adding a thicker layer of fiber glass on the base of the spoiler. This was due to buckling on the top and it being flimsy and bouncy if pressed on(which made it feel cheap to me). The windshield wiper has also been removed.
Passanger side rear fender
Rear shot..they finishing up the rear bumper, smoothing it out and fixing the sides for fitment for the wider fenders.
One last shot of the rear fender from a front view

You know how it goes, ya buy a gun, a set of pantyhoes, random 7-11 stops become the norm, and some how I can pay for it.
