Thanks!

Both the fenders and the panels are rolled by JRX/BRS in La Puente. The fenders are about 35mm from stock. The current setup has 18x8.5 w/ 235/40/18 in the front and 18x10 with 275/35/18 in the rear.

Are those Mariah wide front fenders on there w/ a rolled out rear fender on the red car? That is exactly the set-up I want for my FC.

Thanks!

The whole setup including the 2 amps, 2 subs, the fiberglass enclosure is in the 125-150 lbs range - and that is in the aggressive side.

pretty clean install imo...

Thanks!

The rear fenders were rolled by JRX/BRS in La Puente, CA. I can slam that thing and no rubs whatsoever.

FYI - we have 4 sets of meisters and equips coming in at the end of the month. Let me know if you're interested.

Nice car, but i kinda don't like your choice in audio.

With all the money you put into the car, i would suggest some Resonant Engineering XXX subs, or something along that line, maybe Phoenix gold titanium elite? And I think one 12" would suffice. Just my opinion.

But I must say that fiberglass enclosure, despite the heft, just looks emaculate.

Look like fast and the furious piece of scrap metals. Hopefully the engine performance is good.

Nice car! Is that a modified B-wave rear wing you have there? If it is, it looks like you trimmed the sides a little bit...Am I right or wrong?

very nice red fc, except for the spoiler. Hatchbacks look the best with no spoiler, but thats just my opinion, a vert owner.

I think the entire appearance of the car is no less than bitchin!! I think the contour of all the pieces of the exterior flow seamlessly. A very nice job, not over the top styling. I always loved this look, simple and aggressive. Nice choice of the deep dish rims, gotta do it like that! Good choice on the front side and rear body kit. And to top it off, the sun visors on the windows. I'ma get at you on 9/11! Momentarily on the jock.
