still far from done but its coming along, heres a little before and after

I stopped working on the flares since im going widebody (overfenders) so no need to state the obvious.

Once I get the overfenders its paint, drop, tint, and then im about done, oh and ill install my 97 mouldings as well , they are sitting here in my bedroom.

Looks like you forgot to do some math before buying wheels/tires. Get that thing lowered so we can see how those rear fenders cope.

planning ahead is not how its done, buy/build the wheels u want and then make them fit later

(edit)

for me to lower it I would definitely need a camber kit in the rear and a very stiff suspension, im really leaning towards widebody at this point.

That's what you're not understanding, they are explaining to you when you lower it the car will naturally camber out the wheels. You might not even need wide body. Also depending in the suspension we have in our cars I do believe the wheels go up and in, not directly up. My friends Z poked out a good inch uncompressed but when we compressed the shock it fit perfectly flush.

Making the car fit the wheels is the easy part,making the wheels fit the car is the hard part. Good luck with your wide body.
