I saw your car on the Fatlace, Word Up video. It looks and sounds sick man, I love the part at the end. What exhaust are you running?
thanks, in the video its stock header/cats with straight pipes. but i swap out my muffler for a single tip when on the track

edit: that blue-ish G looks awesome

Obviously taking such care in noticing my picture you failed to see the difference in lighting. Cars freshly painted pretty sure it matches. "sry" your blind.

no debris that i know of but i do ocassionally get the burned tire smell in the cabin, i'm not sure how the smell comes through tho cuz every panel is covered....my suggestion if you are going to do this, make a precise minimal cut where your tire rubs....my driver rear tire is the only one that rubbed at the tip/corner where the flat surface meets the sidewall...on to the pics

shitty cut but it got the job done...no more rubbing at all unless theres a major dip or small pot hole i can't avoid

What are your rear specs again Dan? Looks awesome!

I`d be worried about that hole gouging up the tire, could you have just bashed the sheet metal in with a hammer? I`m seen that done before when just a little bit more clearance is needed.

Maybe a week or so

Yeah somewhat. Except the whole cutting the inside fender wall deal. I Started hammering the fender inside out with a secondary hammer supporting the outside. Did it at first myself then i let the shop do the rest.

Man i'll be worry Dan if the fender cuts into the tire on a big bump that you cant avoid like you said. Hammer it in at least

you could have drawn that cut a little better, but you had ***** to do it...

Also:

what you think about spraying the exposed metal with a truck bed lining/plastic dip to protect from the elements?

I'm doing this tomorrow...

thanks man
fronts: 18x11 +10
rears: 18x12 -20

i did hammer the fender out a little bit before the bondo took place but even that wasn't enough, honestly the tire doesn't hit what so ever lol i've already been over a few dips/bumps to be sure of it and nothing messes with the tire!...litoflow's fenders have nice work done to them all from hammer work if you haven't seen those

yes sir im going to make a few more cuts then hammer in the remainder peices to close up the hole.

yes i could've done a better job but i was being impatient and didn't wanna clean it up lol its still unfinished, i need to make slits then bend the pieces back towards the second outer layer of metal on the inside...bed liner is a good idea! just make sure no matter how you drive the Z it wont rub!
