    I can't believe how negative some people are being about this. It's a great build,
    Looks mint IMO. No it's not a race car and yes the flares are a bit pointless, but they look wicked. it clean makes you proud every time you look at it, it looks agrrssive as f*ck and it's good work too so that really is what it's all about. Good work

    Just get that paint corrected.... Those swirls!!!!

    The rears arent bad i'm just lazy, but i'm at a loss for the fronts. The flares were made to curve in near the front bumper, which absolutely didnt work with how low I was/how tight the fitment was. We had to almost twist them and mount them way off course to allow for my fitment, and in doing that the bumper pieces are off by a good 1.5". I need to build a bracket or something to hold them out

    the front doesn''t really flow with the front bumper, (might because it just exceeds the bumper line a little) so i understand people get the idea it was just rivited on. same counts with the rear where it has a flat end, if it would curve into the body it would make more sense to me.

    eitherway i really like the build tho as i'm keeping in mind you're still in highschool, because this isn't your typical highschool build. normally not a fan of reps but you made them work.
    Also where some more reading instead of pic scrolling takes place lol, fenders have pieces that mount to front and rear bumpers. They need a lot more work to line up and I havent gotten around to it yet.Thank you though!

    like so(just a google image, not me or my car):
    You should probably take a better look at all my photos haha. I cut out a solid 2" of fender/quarter all around, and my flares are riveted on. Also the flares have these giant inserts I had to make room for

    All I can say is have fun tucking rear wheel without camber. I spent way too much money on these flares to watch them snap in half/have a tire rub through them.

    Also flares and aero are just part of the look, I wanted a racecar style to it. Cant pull that off stock body. And I need 30mm spacers to clear coil. But you guys are correct in that, I love this thing and that's all that matters!

    Or you could just take off the 30mm spacers...

    I'll be "that guy" and say that I think the flares and the 'aero' mods look goofy, like a tacked-on way to push the wheels and tires out without looking finished. But, I am one opinion- as long as you like it then that's all that matters.

    Just at whatever's stock right now, like -1 lol. I need new idf curved tie rods before I can install my camber plates and go lower.


    Pics from fridays meet









    Rear needs to go way lower. Still working on the diffuser/exhaust setup. My wing STILL isnt on. Hopefully it'll be all done sunday..
