Finally started on the rear fenders this weekend. Cut them with my dremel instead of the angle grinder. Took longer but I had more control and it was safer. Ended up going up about 4 inches. Hammered them together as close as I could get them and then had my dad help out with the welding. Need to try to lay down some epoxy primer and seam sealer tomorrow.

 

Trying the other pics again since they were sideways in the previous post.

 

So after welding, I sealed the fenders with 3m seam sealer. Then started bonding the overfenders with 3m panel bond. Sand away paint where they mate and apply panel bond to both surfaces and hold in place with self tapping screws. The panel bond is cured now so the screws have been removed. Once my new bumper arrives, it will actually be drivable again.

 

Fitment in the rear with a 2 inch spacer.

 

Looks like it's coming along nicely!

 

I am really feeling this, I believe we have very similar tastes (rear diffusers, sporty/race inspired looks etc...)

 

Thanks
We do have similar taste but I don't think it will really look racey after I'm done (the diffuser is gone). Hopefully my rear bumper gets here Monday and I can get it back in one piece. Then the exterior parts will be done unless I buy the hood I want.......

 

Well done on the work thus far! Looking forward to seeing it completed.

 

what rear did you go with? also looks like you need new sides to match the height of the front bumper (looks lower than the sides)

 

Rear bumper is version select. It is finally supposed to be delivered tomorrow. I ordered it like 3 weeks ago. The sides aren't changing. I had RMM replicas and those hung a little lower than the front bumper. Then I found what I always wanted, skirts from the OEM optional lip kit. They are a little shorter than the bumper, but they are staying. My car is raked to the front right now also so that makes is look a little worse.

 

I think lsportline (not ltuned) side would flow perfect and with the same height as the front

 

Finally got my rear bumper installed today. Only thing left to install is the lower caps for the bumper. Was thinking about getting a vented carbon fiber hood but those things are close to $1k now so I don't think that's going to happen. If anyone has a lead on one, let me know.

 

Ever thought about extending that vertical vent line on the front fenders all the way down to the side skirt kinda like how the IS/RC/GS-Fs have it? So that it looks like one piece altogether? Just a thought cause I always liked how the F's had that.

 

Good idea, but I don't have the time or patience to try. There is a guy out in japan who retrofitted the ISF vents to a 2GS and it looks good.

 

Got any pics of this??
