jake- doooo it buy a tool, shops charge 50 a fender lol you can charge 20 a fender and make your money back in a week or two..

AUSTIN- I just thought of something.. if you buy the spacers that bolt onto your studs and have their own studs you are probably going to have to grind down your rear studs unless you do over a 20mm spacer i beleive... what one did you buy?

I will probably stop by your house around the same time tonight. I fixed the clunking noise but I found another problem, I need to re-adjust the rear shocks. I am almost riding on the bump stops. I have about 1/2 inch of travel.

Also, what kind of screws should I bring. We could do the bumper tuck tonight as well.

Hey guys, I got the Project Kics 10mm with the extended studs built-on.

Let me know when you guys are done with the fender roller or are yall done already? Jake, I may just sell that fender roller to you bc my friend doesn't care to have it back lol he said I can just keep it if I want. He has a few lol.

ok - I have one guy coming over for the fender action and Squeaky - you already know Im down for you to borrow my tools and what not..

Screws should be self tapping screws (for sheet metal) - you get them at lowes or home depot (small bag should be like 1.99 - 3.99) I need a favor from you though - I dont have a nut driver for my drill - if you have one bring it or can you get one for me while your there? I will gladly pay you back for it.. OH AND GET WASHERS - nice round ones so it will look all baller..

The screws look like this

Not a problem. I have a whole set, or most of a set of nut drivers I will bring over. I have two sets so you will be able to keep it.

Just spent about three hours cleaning the car. I love this weather.

Once again, Jake is the man.

We got the bumper tuck done and was able to adjust the rear shocks in record time, only about 30 minutes for everything.

Thanks again Jake.
