The body, side skirts a rear. Ill be as carefull as i can, its the same price between molding and just making it fit liek factor so its easier to just mold it for me.

I say keep the high beams. The car never came from the factory without highbeams. What color are you going to paint your car when you are done?

We kept the high beams, i figured it shows more effort by making them fit. Some brackets and things had to be made, anyway ill have pic up soon as i get it... Shaved everything except the door handles pretty much because ive had problems with shaving them on cars in the past. Decided not to go that route.

I have eibach springs and tokico blue shocks, so about 1". You need to take into account the wheels to 20x9.5 rear and 20x8.5 front with 235/ 35 and 255/35 tires which are badly worn. I have plenty of clearance, im considering coilovers and going a little lower and some larger tires aswell....
