I rolled both front and rear fender flat. Fronts I had to remold a lot of the fender liner. The rear, i shaved down the bumper tab for more clearance. That's pretty much it!

Yeah, to remold the liner you use a heat gun and heat it up until the plastic is softened. Then you use a wet rag and push it back and hold it until it cools down so it remolds. This should give you more clearance so the tires dont rub against it.

They're the stock headlights with the housings painted black. I send them to David at Tuned Parts to have the work done. You can also bake them open yourself but I had David do them for the peace of mind. He's THE head light man to go to! As for the tails I might just go with the JDM black chromes eventually.

True dat
Your car is clean as hell. I love the fitment of the wheels.

How well did that lip fit?

Thanks. Eh the lip has a couple small gaps here and there but overall its not that bad. The lip had some predrilled holes on the bottom that didn't line up that well so i just drilled some new holes so it bolts up pretty good.
