Kevin's 93' Ls400 AYEEEE

[KEVIN.E]

thanks for all the love guys

Made me laugh, hahaha.

those guys will do anything for some money haha

do a burnout!

the car has to be holding some sort of record for being sunk, when it was just chillin all 4 civic wheels on it looked like it was aired out. something like 16x6.5s haha

Killed it! I can't wait to see the wheels in a different color.

yeah me too but they are freshly coated blue and the lips and barrels are new as well so I'm not in a rush to get the faces refinished. My main priority is to get the wheels on the car

I also finally bought an impact gun. It was on sale for 99$ for fathers day and it's 100% warrantied for 3 years so I will get my moneys worth out if it. Not sure if it's true or not that Craftsman's quality has gone down or not since I don't own many power tools from them, but I have no problem with any of their hand tools.

Had to go to a Mexican spot because no one else would mount it

Made me laugh, hahaha.

Perfect amount of stretch! Mexican tire shops are always down to stretch, even if they have to use lighter fluid. The wheels look great as well.

no more btching abt wheel pics haha

Got the front tires mounted, 225/40s on the 18x10. Had to go to a Mexican spot because no one else would mount it

came out exactly how I wanted it

then I test fitted the wheels and tires but couldn't drop the jacks all the way since the fenders were resting on the sidewalls

Since the fronts had tires mounted I was now ready to start radiusing the fenders

Here's the initial cut

and then I cleaned it up

repeated the process again for the passenger side, although I didn't get to clean and perfect the arch yet. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to finish that and then mount the front flares. Here's how its sitting now

even though I cut a nice shaped arch the way the fender is shaped distorts the top

here's a full shot of a wheel, they are Work Equip Anhelos and eventually when I get the cash they will be refinished in another color. The car looks kind of high because I cut nearly 2 inches out of the fender arch, exposing the tire but when I mount the flare it will cover some of the tire.
