Update: FB 2 FD (part III)

hey brothers, another update here. as i mentioned on my last thread, i cant mod my original fenders to match and meet the cwest bumper. therefore............................

i had purchased some FD fenders. guess which ones............thats right, the BURNOUT fenders. (thanks ken for the hook up!!!) going custom wide body now on my FB since these fenders are hella wide. and to make things complete, i purchased the BURNOUT bumper also. (ken, your the man!!) so basically ill have a BURNOUT FB.

here are some pics: once again ignore the quality, cuz i can't afford to buy a good digi cam, but can afford expensive parts for my car. hehehehe Comment up!






BTW, do you guys think cwest headlights will look good with this BURNOUT kit??
i am not about to buy a pair of oem FD pop ups after paying a lot for the cwest sleek lights. sorry im asking this. i just havent had time to work on my car yet so i can see it looks good or not. purchasing parts that i need for my project is the only thing i can right now.

I don't like body kits.


With that being said, If this works out, I will do that to my FB. Take some pictures in the daylight, and I expect a work log.

well guys, i got out of work early and i did a little test fitting. its really hard starting from scratch. a lot of measurements, cutting, drilling, you name it. this is what i have so far. remember its just an ALIGNMENT TEST so dont think the lines dont match or their off. the hood is not even bolted down yet, cuz i have no hinges for it. anywayz, i only had 2 hours to work on it and im pooped. peace out guys. comment up!
