That looks so good, I've been wanting to do this with my car for a while now but I've just dealt with it and found ways to get around doing it. This makes me want to flare my fenders really bad though.

RCVA its really simple to do actually and took me about 3 days to complete it beginning to end. I basically cut along the seam, pulled it out, welded the lip back together and on the inside where it meets the frame for structural rigidity and used 18g sheet metal to form it. Its highest point was extended 1.5" and at 40-45 degrees from center on both sides were extended 1.25" to get it to flow properly. I will get some more shots of the rear soon!

Yep i sure did RVCA. I have a shop here in albuquerque NM and we do custom fabrication, auto repair, and paint and body. Next project soon will be a custom twin plenum intake manifold with built in velocity stacks for the IS350. That will be another thread though when i get to it!

That sounds good, do you plan on shorter runners? Twin TBs / intakes? Based around the stock lower IM? I'm curious to see how it turns out, get to work!

Looks good! I did the same thing a few weeks back . Camber was maxed out so this was my next best options.
