FC exterior modding ability?

Im kinda confused as too how moddable my Fc actually is.

I can`t get the pieces too match up ( theoretically) i havent bought any styling yet, thing is that i can see that most of the fenders sold out there have a L shape (green line) if u see them from the side, but my fc has a I shape (blue line) all the way down too the bumper Lip and i cannot see any cuts where i put the red line, meaning the fender stretches all the way too the front bumper cut.

Hope the pic explains better, how can i slap new front bumper styling on my car?

dont cut you will regret it since you wont have anything to mount the bodykit to.

The front bumper bodykit wraps around the front end and you can drill and bolt the bodykit to the inner side of the fender, or like some of us do, use zipties.

Depends on the front bumper, some fight right under the molding, and some require you to remove the molding... Some people will cut out the "molding" area on the bodykit so it will fit with the stock molding on the fender.

OBVIOUSLY you only cut if you have to, you wont just go out one day and say "hey im going to do a custom bumper let me chop suey my fenders"

for the bumper I put on that car, I had to cut the fenders, it also eliminates that bulging out look

ok. So the idea to the thread starter is wait for the front bumper you want, then test fit trial and error and make adjustments then.
