Haven't been updating my progress, but I did finish putting the flares on and getting the wheels on the car. I will snap some pics of the rear wheel wells tmr probably. I had to cut a lot of the wheel well out to make room for the wheels. I also repainted the flares since they came kind of scuffed up and the paint was faded. Had to reseal one of the wheels too.

Pic of the rear flare mocked up

From the rear, it's not so sunk anymore since the flare has been riveted on and is sucked tight to the panel

From the side, car looks kind of off because it still has a Honda stock on the other side and the ground is sloped

did some paint revival as well, only did the front half of the car though, I need to pull the visor off and rear badges and go all over. I'm pretty happy with the results on the hood, the paint feels buttery smooth and most of the swirls and big blemishes are gone. I will probably redo everything and use a better cutting disc for more swirl removal.

started out with this, looks pretty bad under flash but in normal lighting it was not this hideous

and after that I used Black magic liquid wax, but I forgot to take pics. All this work and detailing to get ready for Stancewars, but I ended up running out of time and doing a horrible detailing job on the rest of the car haha. I drove it for the first time in the past 3 months for just that day, went to the show and back and then this happened

rubbing inside the well near the coilover, I think I know exactly what its rubbing on, it rubbed a groove all the way around the tire and caused the air to leak. Thankfully I noticed it before driving off. I didn't get to take pics of my car with the wheels on as a whole, but I will probably have a new tire on by the end of the week and will be able to shoot some legit photos.
