I can do multiple parts and cut it that way which really wouldn't be that hard. I also have friends for full wraps and such and could make anything much easier than me, but I dont really want to spend that kind of money on this car. Most of the stickers other than my door/number/name are coming off currently since a few parts have changed. Not sure if I will do the fender roll call again or not.
Not sure if my family business will make it back on either.Last edited by hinrichs; 11-13-2018, 10:49 AM.My super boring build http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...other-M3-buildInsta Mintyhinrichs

Knocked out the passenger rear last night after turning the car around.
Laid down a lot of tape and marked where the fender will sit and so I can mark a cut line.

Then cut away. This side wasnt as bad after cutting the driver side first. There is more metal like everyone says on the passenger side however. Peel that away and then I trimmed the inner panel shorter so I could hammer it up and flush with the outer skin.

Trimmed and ready for welding. Luckily the undercoating didnt burn as much on this side vs the driver side. Still took my time going back and forth. Doesnt look the best but you dont see it.

Hit it with seam sealer, and then undercoating which I will spray a few more times once I get a chance. Still need to do the driver side as well with the seam sealer and coating.

Riveted the fender on after trimming for the side trim, and its on for good. I noticed a lot of people use 2x as many rivets on theirs, but this amount held up on my friends car so I dont see needing more. Passenger front flare shows up tomorrow which shouldn't take long. Its already cut out so all I need to do is trim the flare and drill the holes into the fender. If we dont get the snow they are talking about, I will get some pics of it outside and complete, or I will load it up on the trailer and take it to work for a mini photo shoot.

Finished my passenger fender install friday night, but still have a lot to trim on that one I think. I should have my replacement springs this friday, hopefully sooner and then I can loose the front spacers or drop to a 5mm from the 12.5mm. I currently hit the bumper while turning so I need to figure out where to cut that.
I rolled the car outside however over the weekend to see what it looks like all together. Rear 1/4s are in, and I am currently fighting with condor and ups since they lost my rear window.

Swapped springs, they are shorter, had to pull my lower shims however so not really sure what camber I am at now. Stupid wide ass tires. I will get some time soon to see what the camber is at and see if I need to get some new upper plates like my friend is running.

Next up on the list was to swap the studs from whatever length they are...I think 75 or something to 90mm. I also ended up getting new longer nuts as well since I will be selling this setup to a friend since they seem to be new. Soo easy to install but such a pain using the 2 nuts to remove them correctly. 90mm were overkill, since I only run like a 5mm spacer now.

After waitiing like a month or more since UPS lost my first window, and then re-ordering and waiting for it to be cut I got my condor rear window. Its pre drilled and thats it. I wish they would have cut a line in the masking like they do with their rear 1/4 windows for paint. Need to measure and mark that yet and then I will get it actually installed. I did get it slightly off center but whatever its a race car so I dont really care. Pulling the back window wasnt too bad by myself using a cheap tool, heat, screwdriver and a long knife. After test fitting with self tappers, I ordered some m6 rivnuts and started to get those in since I will be bolting the window down so I can remove it when needed (planning a cage next year or after)

Also just ordered another set of tires today which will be my rain/street setup. I need to be able to drive the car once and a while on road and the slicks seem like a really bad idea. I did take it around the block a few times and it feels wild. Ended up getting 265/35/18 accelera 651s in 200 trw. Hard to pass up the price on sale with them for something I wont really use much. The big decision now is what wheel to get. I cant find anything at the price I want to spend in the same specs as my Enkei.Last edited by hinrichs; 12-20-2018, 09:20 AM.My super boring build http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...other-M3-buildInsta Mintyhinrichs

Well did a rookie mistake with the back window, I flipped it when I painted it......so it didnt line up perfectly everywhere. Plus using rivnuts was prolly a bad idea since they never really go in straight or I just suck at installing them. I need to order a new tool however since I think mine is finally broken. I need to pull the window, order new washers(they are too big) and then I can install it again for good. It does fit decently well however. Thankfully only 2 of the rivnuts need to be replaced since they are spinning.
