Damn real good progress looks like they did a good job fixing the quarter looks good even with that bad front side. I really like the wheels also i think i would trade my IS 18's for a set of those... Hey hows the ride with the Flex setup i'm thinking of getting a set of these as well.... GL keep us updates

he did a really good job, doing the rest of the body next.
The flex setup is super tight considering the car is so heavy.
I have to bring the front up a half inch even though i don't want to
it's rubbing on every bump i hit not bad but its annoying and i dont want it to eat through the harness.
